With chapters written by interdisciplinary scholars from across Asia, this book decolonizes the field of Celebrity Studies through an Asia-centric approach to understanding stardom. Exploring national and transnational contexts, the book examines stars such as Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, Jackie Chan, South Korea’s Park Shin-hye and BTS among others, as well as phenomena such as internet celebrity couples, livestreamers and K-Pop. Decolonizing Asian Celebrity examines how a celebrity culture that crosses borders helps shape transnational social and political life across the continent, from China and India, to South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines.
