SUMMARY:

Music is part of our daily lives, from the moment we arrive in the world, we grow up and come across music that is traditionally in our closest bond, be it family or friends, we come across different musical styles throughout life, and for several factors we choose which musical styles, not only listen, but live and see the world. Currently, the main musical phenomenon gaining prominence globally is Korean pop. Better known as K-Pop (Korean Pop Music), it is a musical genre that saw its ascendancy from the 1990s onwards through the Hallyu or Korean Wave. Today's youth is marked in human history as the first to immersive experience the digital space. These aspects of this new generation are disseminated through cyberspace, which break down digital barriers and are presented in society and demarcate places of affirmation of their identity. That said, the identity of a group of people who socially perform a certain musical genre – in this case K-pop – directly reflects on the place where it experiences its experience. This work has the general objective of analyzing how the K-pop phenomenon manifests itself in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, in view of the identity relationship of young people in places based on cyberculture. Qualitative in nature, this research will follow fundamental steps so that it can clearly elucidate and analyze the phenomenon, in order to cover all the elements that make up the studied object. In the first moment of the development of the dissertation, I focused on the bibliographical research that covered the theme and analyzed the main concepts that I will use throughout the process. Soon after, I started immersing myself in the field, that is, I began to attend the spaces where meetings aimed at K-pop fan groups in the capital of Rio Grande do Norte take place, including parks, squares and events focused on the musical genre - with greater emphasis on Asian cultural events - in order to be able to observe the place and its explicit and implicit aspects of the dynamics of the analyzed phenomenon and the relationship between people and space. During the trips to the field, I carried out a semi-structured interview based on a set of questions that guided the moment of data collection. This moment assumed a central role in the research, since it was there that I came into contact and collected empirical data on the phenomenon, seeking to obtain information about individuals and the community in a profound way, in the very form of cultural expression and its nuances. in that particular group. In a third moment is the analysis of the data collected, dialoguing directly with the theories and concepts chosen for the understanding of the phenomenon. I will conclude by pointing out, after a detailed analysis of the phenomenon in dialogue with theory, the main aspects of South Korean pop in the city of Natal and its manifestation in different places in the capital, as well as the intrinsic relationship with the identity of those who frequent these spaces.
