- 2025 K-Entertainment Social Media Trends That Shocked Us!
From trending dances to K-pop covers, these are the most shocking K-entertainment trends of 2025! Shocking Korean social media trends of 2025 Short form K-dramas First up on our list is K-drama marketing. Although this may not sound like a shocking trend at first, the K-drama marketing trend involves the launch of short-form mini K-drama campaigns. The idea behind this is that, since many people spend time scrolling, thanks to shorter attention spans than in the past, short-form dramas can capture K-drama fans while they simply scroll. Our writer Lewis Hooper has also starred in a short-form drama, which will be released next year, so keep an eye out! K-Drama Pop-Up Stores K-drama marketing has moved beyond passive ads to focus on immersive, physical pop-up stores that allow fans to experience the drama's universe first-hand. The Dojeon team thinks these are a great way for fans to interact directly with their favorite brands, and not only this, but the pop-up store also allows amazing photos and videos to trend on social media. This year in Seoul, we have already seen the Squid Game pop-up stores and K-pop Demon Hunters ! This trend extends the viewing cycle and sustains fan enthusiasm long after the final episode, turning the set into a real-life, limited-time destination. Real-Time Idol Livestream Live streaming is nothing new; idol and actor livestreams are transforming from casual Q&A sessions into high-conversion, interactive "shoppertainment" events for their fans. Not only this, but these live events allow fans to feel a closer connection to their favorite stars, while at times being able to interact with them without the whole entourage that comes with a regular meet and greet event. This year, we have seen BTS hold numerous livestreaming events, and JENNIE (BLACKPINK) during her viral "Like Jennie" challenge promotions earlier in the year. Global Memes Memes have become a popular way for global fans to feel connected with their favorite idols. Whether they come from dance moves and catchy melodies, such as the "Gwenchana Ding Ding" meme. Originally from a Vietnamese song which was globally cemented after being embraced and performed by popular groups like ATEEZ and NCT , proving K-pop's power as a global meme accelerator, or simple nicknames and hand actions like the iconic Korean heart shape, these memes have really taken off in 2025! The Dojeon team is excited to see which memes trend in 2026! The Virtual Idol Virtual idol groups have exploded past novelty status, becoming chart-topping forces that rival human groups in sales and digital engagement. PLAVE's "Caligo Pt. 1" shattered Melon streaming and physical sales records, signaling that the digital-only group model is now a primary competitor in K-pop. Could we see more virtual K-pop groups in 2026? Cross-Border Super Collabs The music industry is prioritizing shocking, high-profile collaborations that blend Western superstars with K-pop's top artists, often mixing genres that wouldn't traditionally align. The massive success of ROSÉ's "APT." with Bruno Mars , which fuses pop with disco-rock, set the new benchmark for global chart domination. This collaboration literally took off globally and became a household song this summer! With the interest in K-culture growing each year, which cross-border super collabs could we see in 2026? Which social media trends left you shocked this year? Comment below and let the Dojeon team know! #KPopTrends #KWave #SocialMediaMarketing #KDrama #Hallyu #KPopIdols

- These K-pop idols have the most unusual hobbies!
Behind the curtains and a step back from the limelight, some of our favorite K-pop idols have some unusual hobbies. We break down our favorites! Image: kpopstarz.com On stage in the mist of glamour, glitz, and outstanding performances, it comes as no surprise, that when they are not on stage in their glamourous outfits to thousands of screaming fans, K-pop idols might have some interesting passions. As we have learned over the years, the K-pop industry especially is notorious for being harsh with long hours, not much care for mental health, and being brutal with cancel culture , so hobbies are more than important for the mental well-being and personal growth for their high pressured careers. Some Korean celebrities probably do the same as us, such as cooking, playing games, and they help to "humanize" themselves as stars. BTS RM — Art Connoisseur Image: Kpoplat.com Many of you will be familiar with BTS' RM , although a fun fact about the star is that he is an art connoisseur and an art collector. Beyond his musical talents, he has a strong passion for contemporary art, and his collection is said to include pieces by renowned artists, and he is known to visit art galleries and museums during his much needed time off! BTS Jin — Master Chef Image: Kboo.com Kim Seok Jin, known as Jin from BTS, has turned his cooking hobby, into something more of a strong passion. It is said that during the pandemic, he gained popularity for his cooking videos, as he demonstrated his recipes and techniques along with his humor to his fans. BLACKPINK's Jennie — Photography Image: Allkpop.com Having an artistic eye and capturing moments, are both great skills to have for a budding photographer. Jennie is not shy of capturing her candid moments along with her daily life, which from time to time can be seen on her social media accounts. Her dreamy vintage like style photographs give fans a glimpse into her unique artistic perspective of life. BtoB's Yook Sung Jae — Fisherman Image: Soompi While many of us know BtoB's Yook Sung Jae for having powerful vocals, and various acting roles, he is also keen at spending some of his free time fishing. His passion for fishing started as a more causal affair, however it has evolved into a more professional hobby. He is often spotted with high end fishing gear, and he has even appeared on some variety shows showcasing his fishing skills. Do you have any unique hobbies?

- From Fame to Fallout: 2025's K-Entertainment Controversies That Sent Fans Reeling!
Unpacking the most significant cancel culture controversies and the lasting impact on the K-entertainment industry of 2025! Image: 2025 Top K-scandals - Photo: https://lens.monash.edu 2025 had no shortage of K-scandals and cancelled stars. This article will focus on the year's biggest scandals and industry fallouts, which have left fans divided and groups running back to their agents! Let's take a look at Dojeon's top five! The NewJeans/ADOR vs. HYBE Legal War First up on our list is the bitter, highly public corporate dispute between HYBE and ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin , which was escalated with ongoing legal battles and mutual accusations of poor governance and creative theft. The Dojeon Team followed this journey very closely, especially when this internal conflict threatened the stability of the highly successful girl group NewJeans , as well as exposing the volatile power dynamics within Korea's largest entertainment company. The saga highlighted the lack of transparency and trust between corporate leadership and creative subsidiaries, though it eventually led to the court ruling in favor of the record label. And despite the girls' best efforts to break free, they had no choice but to see out the remaining term on their contract. Blackpink/K-Pop Cultural Appropriation Several high-profile K-Pop groups, including Blackpink , faced renewed and intense international scrutiny regarding past instances of cultural appropriation and the use of racial slurs in their content, as well as on the red carpet. The Dojeon Team wrote about these controversies at the time, which led to intense discussions and divisions between domestic and international fan bases over where the accountability, education, and sensitivity actually came from here. The incidents showcased the increasing power of global fandom to police social and ethical behavior within the industry. Having said that, the comments from some were bias and at the same time on the other hand, did the star really care, or was it the fans which blew the situation out of proportion? Actor Kim Soo-hyun's Alleged Underage Relationship Number three on our list, are the allegations which surfaced regarding Actor Kim Soo-hyun's past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron , specifically concerning the significant age gap when she was reportedly a minor. This controversy sparked widespread public outrage over ethical boundaries and led to the actor losing multiple endorsements and project roles, and once the face of supermarket giant Homeplus , and other big name retailers. The actor was literally pulled from all sponsorships within a matter of days. This event triggered a massive public discussion about the legal and moral age of consent in South Korea, as well as globally thanks to social media with K-drama fans taking the lead. EXO-CBX's Contract Battle with SM Entertainment Next on the Dojeon list, is the contractual dispute between the EXO sub-unit members (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin) and SM Entertainment , who continued to expose deep-seated issues regarding artists' unfair profit distribution and contract duration, which sadly, seems to be all but too common in recent years. In this case, the idols sought an injunction, alleging restrictive conditions reminiscent of the long-controversial "slave contracts" of the past. This legal fight put renewed pressure on agencies to reform industry standards for artist treatment and compensation, however although it was dealt with, will it be enough to shape the industry long term? What do you think? "Under15" Show Cancellation and Child Exploitation Concerns Last on our list is a scandal, which became a house hold taboo this year. The proposed survival show , Under15 , was met with immediate and significant public backlash, resulting in its reported cancellation or indefinite postponement. The main issue here were the concerns over the physical and psychological toll the competitive environment would take on pre-teen participants, as we have already witnessed the pressure that the industry can put on adults, sadly with some of them being unable to copy and committing suicide as a result. The public sentiment highlighted a growing intolerance for what is perceived as child exploitation in the hyper-competitive K-pop training system, and to date this topic continues to be a hot potato within many Korean homes. What do you think? Which K-entertainment scandal took you by surprise this year?

- "An anthem that celebrates girl power" — Jennie on her new single "MANTRA". We have all the details!
BLACKPINK’s Jennie calls her new single, "Mantra" , an “anthem that celebrates girl power”. We take a look at why this is, what fans are saying, and break down her new single! The Meaning Behind “Mantra” The title “Mantra” itself carries significant weight. A mantra is a word, phrase, or sound repeated silently or aloud as a form of meditation or prayer. It’s often used to calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote self-awareness. Given Jennie’s strong personality and influence, it’s not surprising that she would choose such a meaningful word for her new single, not to mention that "Mantra" is catchy and edgy. In a recent interview with NME, Jennie spoke about the message behind "Mantra", describing it as “a fun, upbeat anthem that celebrates girl power and inspires every woman to shine in her own way with confidence”. Let's take a look at the new music video for "Mantra"! The message behind the song: We can take a couple of key messages from this song. 1) Self-love and empowerment : Jennie could use the song to encourage listeners to embrace their true selves and celebrate their unique qualities, as she mentioned in her interview with NME the song is geared up to be an anthem to celebrate girl power. 2) Inner Peace and Mindfulness : “Mantra” might promote the importance of meditation and mindfulness as tools for achieving inner peace and tranquility, and it could therefore help some fans overcome obstacles that they are facing or inspire them to achieve their own dreams! Fans have also taken to social media in light of this recent release to express their opinions and excitement, let's check them out! Song length: The song length is short for a music video, as it stands at a run time of 2 minutes and 27 seconds. The average music video length is 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Some have questioned as to why the video was so short. Style and concept: Flawless is the first thing that comes to mind when we look at Jennie's style in the new music video. Each outfit and hairstyle portrays a sexy, confident, and glamorous young female artist. Some have questioned the concept of the video, as to "Why is she getting in and out of different types of cars?" Could it be a different type of car for a different year? The opening scene could be Jennie when she was a child, traveling in the car with her father and uncle, later showing different important moments in her life. In the scene where Jennie is lying around the paddling pool, in the middle of a classic "All American" suburban town, Jennie looks very relaxed, sexy, and like she had made it as a K-pop star. Perhaps this was focusing on the moment when she realized that she had all of the success, money, and (happiness) that she needed at that time as a member of BLACKPINK. What do you think? What does Jennie want to portray? The simple video is quite clear cut, Jennie wants to portray that she has come from nothing and has gained fame and success on a global scale. Jennie truly knows how to showcase her ability to captivate audiences with her powerful vocals, charismatic stage presence, and relatable lyrics which has soiled her position as one of the most sought-after and influential K-pop figures. Our thoughts There are only so many ways to say “I’m so cool, I’m the best, I’m pretty/hot/rich/fun/etc.” Me, me, me, me, me. Regardless of the musical quality, these rallying cries ring more hollow with each repetition. Cool, pretty people don’t need to talk incessantly about how cool and pretty they are — and when they do it makes them infinitely less cool. That said, I love the fierce and fashionable style that Jennie is wearing in each scene, and I think that the song could become a big hit among fans for its catchy and upbeat chorus. Let us know your thoughts on this new music video in the comments below. #mantra #Jennie #blackpink #musicvideo #kpop #vintage #style #kmusic
