초록

This study explores the phenomenon of artistic persistence among popular musicians. Interviews with four certified band-based artists were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results yielded 4 categories and 9 subcategories: [(1) The Accidental Start of Artistic Activity] (1-1: Starting art was an accident); [(2) Realistic Difficulties] (2-1: Psychological difficulties are insignificant, 2-2: Economic difficulties exist, 2-3: Interpersonal relationships are the real challenge); [(3) A Space to Become Oneself] (3-1: I wanted to be on stage, not just make music, 3-2: A space to express the entity called "me"); and [(4) Between Life and Music] (4-1: Nothing else to do but music, 4-2: No reason to quit, 4-3: Wanting recognition through music). The findings demonstrate that for these artists, persistence is a process of identity formation—transitioning from an accidental start through realistic difficulties to self-confirmation on stage and integrating life and music—going beyond a simple career choice. This study provides qualitative evidence of this persistence, discussing the limitations of economic support, the need for interpersonal interventions, and future research directions.
