The anime K-pop crossover: Why K-pop is huge at anime cons
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- If you’ve been to an anime con these days, you may have noticed that K-pop is a big deal. More anime cons have been openly embracing K-pop, an event that was exclusively Japanese-only. For the longest time, K-pop was a small niche at these cons, but no longer.
Random K-pop dances, K-pop dance crews, and K-pop panels are becoming more common with each passing con. Most anime fans listen to K-pop. More K-pop artists are being invited to cons each year.
This leads to a new type of fan: the anime-K-pop fan.
Let’s take a look at the new meta taking over anime cons - The anime-K-pop crossover.
Note: This is reupload video from a month ago, but with some additional changes and upgrading to higher video quality.

It was a really natural crossover for me. Grew up watching anime and listening to j-pop. In my 20's, k-pop had taken over j-pop in popularity, so I ended up checking it out. Orange Caramel was actually my gateway drug to the genre, who took a lot of inspiration from 90's/00's j-pop.
Very cool that you used our clip! I was in the Parang dance cover @fanime and attended the kpop discussion panel
Oh nice! I liked your dance cover: really cool dancing and the cameraman/woman was great too!
I'm honored you came to the K-pop discussion panel! Next time, please come up and talk with me after the panel. It's an honor to meet my audience and talk about in-depth K-pop.
Thank you for reuploading this, Japanese record labels failed to gain global fanbases in the after 2010 really damaged Japanese music scene to the world. After all, J-Pop could've have done in al the day in late-2000s when UA-cam was realtivly new and could've have reuploaded the MV in full one instead of posting short one, and they could've gone global, but failed everything. I wasn't even around in the late-2000s when i didnt have an internet due to my parents refusal to get it one until 2010.
Agreed. If J-pop/J-rock labels established dominance on UA-cam in the late-2000s, Japanese music could have been a lot more known today.
I was in Korea in 2019. I went to annual (since 2005) korea-japan festival in COEX in seoul. Some origami, kabuki (japanese opera), street food (tokiyaki, okonomi Yami), calligraphy, female cosplay models, various japanese prefectures had their own display booths, etc... except for cosplay (they might have been just regular models with stylized fashion) I was surprised at the lack of anime presence there. Maybe anime is so ingrained in Korea, they dont see it as uniquely japanese. This was the same year president moon was promoting "No Japan" protest. I spoke to some japanese middle aged women (that spoke korean)that are huge supporters of the event (they wore the festivals logo but were just visitors) they come every year to show support. They lived in seoul many years because they have korean husbands. Korean weeaboos were there but so were many "waegook" anime fans.
It's always great to hear people's take, especially when visiting Korea. I've never been to the Korea-Japan festival in COEX Mall, but sounds fun. I'm not really surprised anime wasn't there though, as most Koreans think it's too "weaboo" and otaku in public. That must have been interesting to talk to the Japanese middle-aged women living in Korea. Always interesting to get other people's experience in life in Korea.
I can back your experience about "waegook" fans. I remember when I lived in Korea (2010-2018) and attending Seoul Comic Con; there were a lot of "waegook" anime and comic fans there.
Patiently waiting for Dreamcatcher to get the Anime opening song they deserve, especially now that manhwa are getting adapted into anime >.>
im so proud of Atarashii Gakko preforming on a stage other than Japan
Great quality
Thanks, as always, for the kind words! Very humbled.
This video is a reuploaded video from a month ago. For some reason, the video didn’t upload HD quality the first time (it was only in 720 quality, ewww). But I didn't just want to reupload the exact same video and call it a day.
Instead, I fixed some errors and added a new, two-minute section to make up for it.
Thanks for understanding!
Popsiri you have to be trendy and make a video about kpop starts in army
Definitely, I can look into it!
Yes. But your theory only applies to North American and European scene. Both in SK and Japan, kpop and anime fandoms rarely interact. In SK, there is even hostility toward anime fans from kpop fans. In the West, both Kpop and Anime fans are largely liberal, young and urban people who are into East Asian pop culture. They can easily cross over.
I agree with your take. It's very true that there's hostility with anime fans in Korea. You may know this, but in Korea they have this trend of anime fans cosplaying on camera for friends in Korea (this is before COVID too), since there's very few anime cons there and has a stigma against it in public. I do know at Seoul Comic World (the biggest anime con in Korea), they do play K-pop there, but it's a very small event (like less than 200 people the last time I went.)
I do agree that the Korean anime and K-pop scenes are vastly different and don't interact like in the West.
