K-Pop is a genre unique to South Korea, as it means Korean Pop, and has gotten popular in Asia, up to the United States and Europe, along with some parts of the world. It is described as a unique blend of various musical genres, including elements of hip-hop, R&B, electronic dance music (EDM), and traditional Korean music but their visual impact is what sets them apart from other music genres and celebrities is their visual elements, training, dancing, Korean language and cultural references incorporated into their music and their high production value.
When you think about how famous or well-known celebrities are able to gain fan attention, you would think that by being good at what they do would alone suffice, but that’s not really the case. Celebrities who are able to connect and interact with their fans, whether directly or indirectly, gain more fans who may become parasocial towards them because it is assumed that they know them personally, but it is more of a media persona that they put up, while giving them a sense of belonging.
