From phonograph radio, television, computer, internet, to MP3 the introduction of new media has a critical role to development and the rapid propagation of popular music. The starting point of this is media effect, in which production and appropriation of popular music always has based on media technologies in the sense of 'the possibility of cloning and reproductive potential'. Above all popular music is actively internalizing these new production methods, and it always musically medialitizing:Based on media effect popular music has created new musical material and the way of music making, constantly wide range of new dimensions of pop cultural formation, and more than anything conclusively new sense of how the formation is appropriative.
The mediality of popular music abuts subtle and multi-layer ranging from an individual's daily life to the various dimensions of social, economic, political, and historical layer, and this is just 'anywhere, by anyone, easily' experience that 'popularity' should be the characteristics of popular music, but it seems not so simple, how the leading media changes and the media-driven ‘transition of sense’ processes. As ahistorical definition, in that popular music is ‘stereotype’ and ‘all the same’, easily accepted as the extent to which popular music has been and is changing and varied, and the point of all this change have been feeling "sensational". Seems odd, never experienced that before, like a stranger, the other, the social-moral norms as those outside, passed through the media in the flood of information we constantly experience sensation, i.e. to accept the sensory impact, and thereby to experience the sensory transition. From this point of view, this study traced the "coding and decoding of sensation" in korean popular music. This theme is accessed from two kinds of logical layers: historical and cultural-analytic approaches. First, focusing on the historical process of cultural formation of korean popular music in relation to media ; historical approach to development and reception of new media technology and topographical changes of popular music. Particularly this study concentrated on the tendencies of discourse, which are caused by the introduction of new media. Popular music and popular culture throughout the public discourse has long been regarded as scummy. Above all, at the time of the introduction of new media such as gramophone, radio, television, digital media the attack of public discourse about popular culture become acute almost without exception, not only in the social public sphere but also in discussions on the quality of music. By historical analyzing the discourse in both direction this study determined "how the medialitic sensation in the sphere of popular music and culture related to social norms and taboos." Second, this study tried cultural analytic approach to actual music practice. Here the key issues raised in the questioning "how mediality of popular music in the level of musical practice codes its sensual transition in sensation" and "how coding of sensation is putting crack in socal norms, values and the dominant ones." This study examined this at three categories: first, the ‘sensation as secret speech’; second, the ‘sensation as rude speech’; third, the 'sensation as hot speech'
