SBS PopAsia is an Australian digital radio station that broadcasts music, most notably from East Asia and Southeast Asia, on digital radio, online and on mobile devices. [1] The station originated as a two-hour segment on SBS youth radio programme Alchemy before launching as a stand alone digital radio station in 2010. [2]

Contents

A television program of the same name was also broadcast on SBS and later SBS Viceland from 2011 to 2018, presenting back-to-back Asian Pop music videos. [3] It was hosted by Jamaica de la Cruz until 2016, [4] with Andy Trieu taking over as host until the show ended in 2018. [5]

PopAsia fans are called PopAsians. [6]

History

SBS PopAsia began as a weekly two-hour segment on the SBS youth radio programme, Alchemy, as the Asian Pop Show. [2] Due to growing popularity and increasing online fan engagement [7] SBS PopAsia was launched as a 24-hour digital radio show in 2010.

In late 2011, a television program of the same name debuted on SBS's main free-to-air television channel in a two-hour timeslot from on Sunday mornings. [8] In 2013, the program was extended to three-and-a-half hours of prime-time broadcast across Saturday and Sunday evenings on SBS Viceland (formerly SBS2). [3] In 2014, it reverted to its original 2 hour timeslot at 9am on Sundays. From 13 March 2016, it changed to a one-hour show on Sundays 10am to 11am on SBS Viceland. PopAsia aired its final episode on 8 July 2018. [9]

Radio

SBS PopAsia began transmitting in 2010. [7] The station is available on DAB, the SBS mobile application, and channel 307 on Freeview across Australia. [10]

Live@5 Show

Between 2011 and 2014, fans could tune into the digital radio show between 5 and 7pm where co-hosts Jamaica dela Cruz and MegaMatt would count down the biggest Asian Pop hits in Australia as voted on Twitter and Facebook. The show was replaced by Hashtag Hits in 2014 which introduced a system of live voting through hashtags on Twitter. [12]

Hashtag Hits

The Hashtag Hits show commenced in 2014. Every weekday, regular votes through Twitter and Facebook finalised the top 8 songs and a challenger. Live voting opened at 4.30pm (AEST) where listeners tweeted or posted on the Facebook wall the #Hashtag of their favourite song from the top 9. The concept of Titanium Status was introduced in June 2014 where when a song has reached number one for eight consecutive days, it becomes titanium. [12] Despite anticipation that EXO's Overdose would be the first song to reach Titanium Status, in fact label mate Super Junior M succeeded with their song Swing. The other Titanium songs included GOT7's A, Beast's Good Luck (three times), Infinite's Last Romeo, Super Junior's Mamacita (two times) and Infinite's Back. All of the songs that have reached Titanium status are from Korean male groups rather than female groups.

Eat Your Kimchi

YouTubers Simon and Martina or Eat Your Kimchi, had a radio show on SBS PopAsia radio every Friday 7-8pm AEST. [13] They talked about K-Pop and more largely Korean culture. Content covered include issues similar to the TL;DR's on their YouTube channel such as plastic surgery and the FIFA World Cup.

Prizes include concert tickets (such as to BAP, 2K13 Feel Korea Festival, signed albums and merchandise and overseas trips to Asian destinations.

Concerts and events

SBS PopAsia continues to be involved in the promotion of Asian acts coming to Australia. In 2011 SBS PopAsia was the official Australian media partner of the 2011 Sydney K-Pop Music Fest which features artists such as SHINee, Girls' Generation and TVXQ. [119] PopAsia has gone on to support acts such as CNBLUE, 4Minute, J-Pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and the inaugural KCON in 2017.

Coverage of concerts

SBS PopAsia has provided coverage and interviews for the following Asian Pop concerts in Australia:

Events

SBS PopAsia have participated in events such as the Campsie Food Festival in 2011 and 2012. [123] Also, they are regularly involved in events relevant to Asian culture.

Lunar New Year

  • Chatswood Lunar New Year 2014 [124]
  • Sydney Lunar New Year Twilight Parade 2014 [125]
  • Boyfriend and JJCC K-Pop Party Carriageworks 2016 [126]

Moon Festival

  • Cabramatta Moon Festival in 2011, 2013 and 2014 [127] [128]
  • Box Hill Moon Festival (Melbourne) in 2011 and 2013 [129]

Impact

The show is a mainstream acknowledgement of Asian popular music which was previously marginal in Australia due to an emphasis on Western music (Campbell 2010). [3] As it is an SBS program, it has opened up the channel from a traditionally older multicultural audience to Australian youths of all backgrounds. [130]

The show has impacted the accessibility of Asian Pop in Australia. Australia is seen as a small market to consume Asian pop but the program has been able to prove the growing demand for Asian Pop in Australia. This is evident through the increasing number of Asian pop concerts, especially K-Pop concerts in Australia.

As of January 2020, SBS PopAsia has over 1.3 million likes on Facebook, 31 million views on YouTube, 136.9K followers on Twitter, 104K subscribers on YouTube and 43K followers on Instagram.

These platforms have also become an avenue for Australian Asian Pop fans to interact with each other.

SBS PopAsia contributed to the creation of the radio apps, SBSDesi and SBSPopAraby.

Controversy

Despite promoting itself as an Asian Pop TV and radio show, the majority of music played is from South Korea and specifically from male groups.[ citation needed ] PopAsia has responded by stating that Korean pop is the most requested genre of music.[ citation needed ] It has also been pointed out that PopAsia directly violates the charter of SBS.[ citation needed ]
