  • End of an era?! Why has Jeju's infamous Fire Festival been cancelled?

    The famous Korean island Jeju , known for it's volcanic volcanoes held a fire festival each March, but critics have managed to get the event cancelled in the name of a "Climate Crisis". We talk more about this infamous festival and what to expect in the future! Image: Visit Jeju So what is Jeju's fire festival? Since the 1990's, the Korean island of Jeju has welcomed visitors both domestically and internationally to the island each March to celebrate the start of spring, by setting fire to the slops of one of its famous active volcanoes. Let's check out this clip from a previous festival! Why did the fire festival come about? Reinterpreting the cattle farming traditions of the small Korean island of Jeju in a modern sense, the festivals routes came from an ancient tradition called Bangae . Bangae is a traditional method of burning down fields during the time between later winter and early spring, as it renews the grass and gets rid of vermin before cattle graze the rich pastures of the active volcanic landscape. Image: Jeju fire festival - Lewis Hooper Image: Jeju fire festival - Lewis Hooper So what are the environmental impacts? One one hand, burning down fields, although it can lower the risk of natural wildfires, it does result in a worse air quality, and this has been the center of the debate. Some residents say that some small level of environmental damage should be allowed in order to preserve the tradition, and attract visitors to the island since tourist numbers post covid have decreased, however others have suggested that as Jeju island has many UNESCO heritage sites , it is better to avoid any damage to the island, and remember the tradition in other ways. Will the fire festival be held in 2025? For the past three years, since the end of COVID-19 the event has been on hold due to safety and environmental concerns, and whether or not it will return in March 2025, has been a hot topic among locals and local governments, and has not yet been decided. Let us know if you have ever attended Jeju's fire festival in the comments below, and tag us in your photos! #jeju #jejuisland #korea #southkorea #koreatravel #firefestival #climatecrisis

  • COACHELLA INVASION: Are K-Pop Acts Sidelining American Talent??

    A K‑pop invasion at Coachella? Here's the line-up you didn’t see coming: Katseye , BigBang , and Taemin are all taking over the top spots for 2026's lineup! Read on for more details! Image:   Katseye, BigBang, and Taemin - Photo: Soompi Coachella 2025 was a festival that the world couldn't stop watching. Thanks to the exclusive sets from K-pop artists such as LISA and JENNIE from BLACKPINK, as well as ENHYPEN . These performances cemented K-pop's place on one of the world's biggest music stages. The Dojeon Media team is gearing up and preparing to cover the event next year, and fans are taking over social media with excitement as well. Two years after BLACKPINK shattered records as the first Korean headliners in 2023, their legacy opened the floodgates — and this year’s performances proved that K-pop isn’t just participating in the global music scene. It’s leading it. The line-up here is actually amazing, from Western to Eastern musical talents; this festival is really something special. Coachella is a festival that has been streamed, written about, and documented fairly heavily in the past couple of years. In the US, this is the festival for the Gen Z audience, and the organizers have tapped into this, by booking trendy K-pop artists for the next festival! Gen Z Gen Z is more open to exploring music in different languages, and K-pop has played a major part in this. It has helped to break down language barriers. Thanks to its catchy melodies, dynamic performances, and strong fan engagement (mainly thanks to social media), festivals like Coachella are embracing this change and, at the same time, welcoming a diverse international crowd. K-pop and agencies K-pop groups and their agencies are embracing being asked to big international festivals, like Coachella and in the UK, Glastonbury . It helps expand their brand, and at the same time, can increase their media visibility and grow a fan base outside of their usual circuits. So being welcomed to overseas festivals is beneficial for both the festival organizers and the artists, which is why, at times, payments for artists are lower than you might think. Some artists have been known to perform for free, in return for being on the main stage to gain more visibility. Final thoughts With Coachella taking over the Gen Z market and with the rise of K-pop within Western music markets, there is no doubt in our minds that the collaboration between the two will be a big success. On the other hand, some festival goers are concerned that the rise in Eastern music, such as K-pop, is slowly pushing out homegrown artists in the US. What are your thoughts on K-pop artists performing at Coachella? Will you be booking tickets to Coachella 2026? Why do you think K-pop acts are welcomed to US festivals?
