K-pop is now one of the biggest trending music genres in the world. With recent successes such as Kpop Demon Hunters , BTS , BLACKPINK , and Katseye taking over the Grammys in 2026 , Gen Z and Gen Alpha are experiencing K-pop in a much different light than 10 to 20 years ago. We break down how K-pop has not only influenced a new generation, but also how this new generation is living it! How They Discover K-pop From the beginning, Gen Z (born from about 1997 - 2012) discovered K-pop through YouTube recommendations, Tumblr, and Twitter. It was something new and different . They were often recommended YouTube videos as they "fell down the rabbit hole" and found groups like BTS and BLACKPINK, groups that were formed when they were toddlers. Far from being a global genre at that time, K-pop was a niche that catered to a specific audience. Gen Alpha (born around 2010 - 2025), on the other hand, have been immersed in K-pop since they were born. Following TikTok trends before they really knew it was a K-pop song, Gen Alpha learned to discover 4th generation idols like NewJeans , Stray Kids , and IVE . To Gen Alpha, K-pop isn't "foreign", it's just part of their everyday media. Relationship to Music How both of these generations react to purchasing music is also very interesting. Gen Z consumes K-pop by eras rather than moments . They're able to sit down and listen to a full album and care about lore and album concepts. They purchase a K-pop album to collect their favorite bias's photocards. BC Card released "BLACKPINK Cards" (Credits: BC Card) Gen Alpha cares more about the 10-15 second hook. If they can dance to it (preferably while being filmed), the album is a "go". Not only are they interested in the sound, but the visuals have to match its energy. Cultural Global Perspective Gen Z may take pride that they helped make K-pop "popular" or "normal" to Western audiences. They experienced it as groundbreaking and global and took pride in supporting non-Western artists. BTS's hit song "Dynamite" was released in 2020 (Credits: BigHit Music) Gen Alpha doesn't see language as a barrier, although many K-pop songs now contain English lyrics. Having grown up in a post-"Dynamite" world, Gen Alpha feels that global pop has always been multilingual. The Core Difference While Gen Z made K-pop mainstream, Gen Alpha was born into K-pop being mainstream . Gen Z remembers when Western award shows were a big deal if a K-pop artist was mentioned, let alone winning an award. Charting on Billboard's Top 100 was another groundbreaking moment that Gen Z thought was shocking. Gen Alpha assumes that K-pop charts globally and that many K-pop idols often/normally collaborate with Western artists. And, of course, it is very normal that a K-pop song trends on TikTok. Final Thoughts So what are your thoughts about how K-pop influenced your generation? Are you team Gen Z or team Gen Alpha?

The moment has finally arrived as, BTS' beloved RM's documentary entitled Right People, Wrong Place will premiere at Busan Film Fest on October 7, 2024 ! Read on to find out all the exciting details! Although BTS is not making new music, for the time being, they are continuing to cash in on their global fan base during their mandatory military service . We've seen fellow group member Jungkook's own I AM STILL documentary broke box office records , so will RM's documentary top Jungkook's record? The documentary will premiere at the renowned Busan Film Festival on October 7, 2024 . Right People, Wrong Place will focus on the singer's highs and lows of being a global idol, and hopefully, it will touch on his experience completing his military service as well as growing up as a person while being in the spotlight. I can't wait to watch it! The film, which was invited to the festival’s Open Cinema section, chronicles the process of making the global star’s second solo album Right People, Wrong Place as well! Check out this music video here! Sadly, as RM is still serving his military service until December 11, 2024, it is unlikely that he will be in attendance at the 29th Busan Film Festival, however as the film features many artists, hopefully some of them will be there. The 29th Busan International Film Festival will kick off on October 2nd and run through October 11th , screening a total of 279 films across 28 screens at seven theatres, including the Busan Cinema Centre, CGV Centum City, and Lotte Cinema Centum City.
