Reminder: What is K-pop?

K-pop is a style of music from South Korea. Korean popular music has quickly become popular with people around the world due to its wide variety and innovative aesthetics. The most famous K-pop groups are BTS, Blackpink, Twice, EXO and Seventeen.

Why do the French love K-pop and South Korea?

France South Korea relationship

The French are good consumers of Korean music . France has a lot of fans of this style of music and more specifically, it has a lot of lovers of East Asian culture.

French speakers are very fond of products from our Asian counterparts, namely Japan and South Korea. Just as Japan creates manga, South Korea creates music and K-dramas that are exported very well abroad.

This relationship is reciprocal with South Korea, which particularly appreciates classical music, culture, art and food from our country.

More specifically, K-pop is a great outlet for young French people . Most fans got hooked on Korean groups and their extraordinary stories during their teenage years.

How many K-pop fans are there in France?

There are millions of K-pop fans around the world, including about 300,000 fans from France . Estimates are quite imprecise because of the criteria that determine a fan and the fluctuations between new and old fans.

The number of 300,000 K-pop fans in France seems to be consistent with the statistics of views and subscriptions of the big French-speaking accounts on social networks. K-pop lovers are almost all BTS fans who have continued to discover many different music groups like Blackpink, Ateez, Wanna One or Red Velvet.
