OTT 플랫폼의 발달로 다른 나라의 미디어를 쉽게 소비할 수 있게 되면서 국경이 더욱 모호해졌다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 각국의 미디어 콘텐츠가 세계적으로 어떻게 소비되고 있는지 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 그리고 이러한 미디어 흐름에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 미디어 콘텐츠의 국제적 흐름 이론을 바탕으로 TV 콘텐츠의 국제적 흐름과 관련된 경제적 요인과 문화적 요인을 고찰한다. 연구 데이터로 2021년 1월 1일부터 2021년 6월 20일까지 80개국 넷플릭스에서 매일 가장 많이 본 TV 프로그램 10개 중 13만6800개의 결과를 수집하였다. 첫 번째 분석 결과, 미국 TV 콘텐츠는 여전히 OTT 환경(일명 글로벌 중심국)에서 전 세계적으로 가장 많이 소비되는 콘텐츠였지만, 한국, 영국, 멕시코/콜롬비아(일명 준중심국)를 중심으로 새로운 3개 생산-소비자 그룹이 식별되었다. 두 번째 분석 결과, 경제적 요인(생산국의 GDP와 소비국의 TV 콘텐츠 자급률)과 문화적 요인(언어적 근접성, 지리적 거리, 문화적 거리)로 OTT 환경에서 TV 콘텐츠의 국제적 흐름을 설명할 수 있었다. 마지막 분석결과, 지리적 거리와 언어적 유사성이 세계 중심 국가보다 준중심 국가가 제작하는 TV 콘텐츠의 국제적 흐름을 설명하는 데 더 중요한 요소로 드러났다.

Methodologies are confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis and multi regression. Result showed that reliability, BJ attractiveness and customer innovation are statistically significant. According to the β value, the biggest one is customer innovation, the second one is BJ attractiveness and the third one is reliability. The influence of information on customer attitude is not statistically significant. The result is well-aligned with the prior studies. The information factor's influence, however, is disputable because some prior studies shows that it is not significant when the research samples are recently developed channel such as mobile or social media commerce platforms. It is necessary to identify the root causes why the information factor is not significant in some research cases. For the second research question, this study used independent t-test between Korean and Chinese customers. The result shows that the difference in reliability, BJ attractiveness and attitude are stastically significant, and the ratings of Chinese customers are higher. This result caused by the difference of media commerce environment between Korea and China. Information and customer innovation didn't show significant difference.

The Chinese cosmetics market is rapidly expanding, but various problems have also emerged, including exaggerated advertisement, lack of accurate information on product usage and the emergence of imitation products. For this reason, cosmetics companies have been making efforts to convince Chinese consumers of their brand authenticity and trust. In particular, Korean cosmetics firms have been using Hallyu stars who are largely popular among Chinese consumers as a means to raise their brand authenticity and trust. The aim of this study was to view Hallyu stars as human brands in the Chinese cosmetics market and verify whether the Chinese consumers' attachment toward Korean celebrities help the consumers perceive the authenticity of the brands advertised by the stars, and whether such brand authenticity affects the Chinese consumers' trust in Korean cosmetics brands. Furthermore, based on the fact that brand authenticity is defined and classified differently according to the type of product, this study observed the authenticity of Korean cosmetics brands from the aspect of product, employee and company based on previous research conducted on cosmetics brand authenticity. To this end, this study surveyed Chinese consumers for a month by using a representative survey website (http://www.sojump.com) that actively shares information related to cosmetics. A total of 394 surveys were used in the empirical analysis. The results of empirical analysis indicated that Chinese consumers' attachment toward Hallyu stars spreads to the Korean cosmetics brands advertised by the celebrities to have a positive effect on the brand authenticity perceived by Chinese consumers, including the authenticity of product, employee and company. Results also showed that the authenticity of Korean cosmetics brands, including product, employee and company, affected Chinese consumers' trust in the brands. The results of this study can provide implications regarding advertising or marketing strategies using Hallyu stars that can be utilized by Korean cosmetics companies to improve brand authenticity and reliability perceived by Chinese consumers in the Chinese cosmetics market, where brand authenticity and reliability are important.

In an effort to increase our understanding of green buying behavior, the present study proposes and tests a comprehensive model of how values influence attitudes toward the environment and preferences for green products in a cross-cultural setting. Data were collected from a survey with consumers in two cultures, diametrically different on values salient to environmental consumerism, the U.S. and Korea. As a result of model testing both at the national and multi-group levels, a refined, final model is presented. While the core human values were found to relate to environmental attitudes and green buying behavior, the patterns of the relationships among the variables emerged to differ between the two cultures, highlighting the importance of cross-cultural investigations in this area. Results suggest that biospheric values significantly influence environmental attitudes and green consumption in both countries. However, the effects of egoism were significant among American respondents whereas altruism appeared to have a significant influence on attitude and behavior in the Korean sample. Findings of this study should aid international marketers in their understanding of what drives consumers' green buying behavior in different cultural settings.
