Through the lens of framing and identity theories, this study took a close look at the television show's captions (N=467), South Korean male entertainers' dialogue (N=131) describing North Korean female defectors, and self-description of North Korean female defectors (N=75). This study found that the television show emphasized portraying the role of North Korean female defectors as femininity and masculinity, while the female defectors and South Korean male entertainers on the show focused more on cultural factors.
