K-pop fans
Korean Pop Music, also known as K-pop, has emerged as a strong global phenomenon. People who devote themselves to Korean music stars or celebrities are called K-pop fans (also known as K-poppers); usually teenagers between the age of 11 to 18. It is not strange to find fans over the age of 18, though.
A K-pop fan shows admiration (often closely bordering on obsession) towards his or her favorite celebrity. They have the tendency to do things slightly beyond what a normal fan would do. Apart from buying their favourite artist CD, posters and attending concerts; they would buy various merchandise products with their favorite artists. They are widely seen on social networking sites: as with ardent fans in other countries and across other genres, they create various Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram accounts dedicated to their Korean idols.
