The K-POP industry is notable for its extensive use of social media and digital platforms, which have played a crucial role in its international popularity. It has led to the emergence of fandom culture, where fans actively support their favorite artists through various means, including streaming music, attending concerts, and participating in fan events. K-POP has become a significant cultural phenomenon, influencing not only music but also fashion, language, and entertainment trends worldwide.
