Development of Victorian Gothic Jewelry Design with Medea Solon as Character Approach in Korean Comic Series “Your Throne”

Abstract

Victorian Gothic is a sub-genre of Gothic culture whose aesthetic values are inspired by the historical Victorian era, encompassing elements such as fashion, makeup, and the jewelry worn during that time. Beyond the realm of fashion, the characteristics of Victorian Gothic culture are evident in various forms, one of which is the Korean comic series titled “Your Throne.” This influence is particularly notable in the character Medea Solon, who plays the role of a Villainous Protagonist in the series. Medea Solon embodies the Victorian Gothic style through the application of color schemes and fashion choices. With the rising popularity of both Victorian Gothic aesthetics and the “Your Throne” series, there is a growing demand for media that caters to individuals’ hobbies and interests. To meet this demand, one effective approach is the creation of products that represent Victorian Gothic themes while incorporating the character of Medea Solon from the “Your Throne” comic. The envisioned product takes the form of jewelry designed with a Victorian Gothic theme, seamlessly blended with the distinctive characteristics of Medea Solon. The aim is for these pieces of jewelry to bridge both markets, serving as a means to channel the interests of enthusiasts from both Victorian Gothic culture and fans of the “Your Throne” series. It is hoped that these jewelry pieces will successfully cater to the preferences of both audiences, providing a tangible expression of their shared passions.
