1. World tours and KCON
The first thing that came to everyone’s mind would probably be the world tours and performances taking place overseas!K-Pop idols get to tour different parts of the world and create some of the best memories. K-Pop fans living outside of Korea would also finally get the chance to watch their favourite idols perform in front of them.During concerts, K-Pop idols get to show off various sides of them through specially prepared solo stages and unit performances too.In addition, there is also KCON where fans get to enjoy not just the live performances, fansigns and even experience the Korean culture.We can’t wait for the day where K-Pop fans can gather and cheer on their favourite idols.

Did you know that in Korea, many K-Pop groups head down to university during the spring and autumn festival as special guests?This was the time where legendary fancams were born, allowing K-Pop idols to rise in fame.Also, there are many special music festivals that take place in summer. Not just K-Pop fans, music lovers also join in the fun by enjoying the live performances.
3. Offline fansigns
Although some K-Pop groups are opening up offline fansigns, many are taking precautions by having a clear divider between the fan and the idol.One thing we miss about offline fansign is also the fact that you get to interact with the idols in a safe environment through handshaking or even a friendly high-five!
4. ISAC
If you have been a K-Pop fan for some time, you would know about the annual ISAC (Idol Sports Athletes Championship) take place during ‘Seollal’ and ‘Chuseok’.A large number of K-Pop groups would gather and compete in various sports categories.

Many fans also witness the friendship between K-Pop idols from different groups.
5. Music broadcast recordings
Of course! One of the things even K-Pop idols missed is the music broadcast recordings!As they perform on stage, fans would be cheering and screaming the fanchants of the song.
