Abstract

Abstract. Check-In Hanyang is a Korean fusion sageuk that incorporates modern values and practices into the historical setting of the Joseon Dynasty. This study aims to examine how modernization is represented and how cultural acculturation is constructed through the interaction of verbal and visual modes in the drama     . A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through observation and documentation using scene transcripts and screenshots from all 16 episodes,      the verbal mode was analyzed using Kim et al.'s Korean transitivity framework, the visual mode using Kress and van Leeuwen's visual grammar, and the relationship between the two modes using Royce's Ideational Intersemiotic Complementarity, interpreted through Hall's representation theory. The findings identify four categories of modernization: institutional and workplace modernization (7 scenes), modern hospitality practices (9 scenes), consumer culture and cultural globalization (4 scenes), and shifting social values (4 scenes). The findings further indicate that cultural acculturation is realized through the integration of modern institutional systems, hospitality services, consumer practices, and shifting social values with traditional Joseon cultural elements.      Overall, this study demonstrates how fusion sageuk reconstructs historical settings by embedding modern values within historical narratives offering broader insight into how globally circulated historical dramas negotiate tradition and modernity amid the ongoing expansion of the Korean Wave. Keywords: Fusion Sageuk, Korean Drama, Modernization, Multimodal Analysis, Intersemiotic

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to critically investigate and describe the dimensions of social criticism contained in the album Gelap Gempita by Sukatani Band using Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. The research employed a qualitative descriptive-analytical design. Primary data were extracted from the linguistic and discursive units across eight songs in the album, while secondary data were drawn from scientific journals, academic books, and relevant cultural commentaries. Data were gathered through documentary and read-note techniques, examined via qualitative content analysis encompassing textual, social cognitive, and sociopolitical dimensions, and verified through theoretical triangulation. The findings demonstrate that the discourse across the album is structurally cohesive and ideologically directed. At the macrostructural level, the songs consistently articulate themes of institutional corruption, systemic injustice, agrarian dispossession, existential crises, and pseudo-solidarity. Superstructurally, the songs employ a circular, non-resolutive scheme that underlines persistent socio-political stagnation. Microstructurally, the critical stance is amplified by syntactic parallelism, stark lexical contrasts, repetitive refrains, and organic metaphors. Contextually, the album reflects contemporary Indonesian socioeconomic fractures, particularly transactional bureaucracy and land conversion. At the social cognition level, the discourse mobilizes mental models that cultivate critical awareness and moral reflection among listeners. In conclusion, Gelap Gempita serves as an effective counter-hegemonic medium that bridges popular music culture and critical civic literacy.Keywords: Social criticism, Gelap Gempita, Sukatani, critical discourse, Teun A. van Dijk.
