K-pop Belongs to Us! – Beats, Biases and Fandom

K-pop is much more than just listening to music. It's about dancing, collecting, creativity, friendships and shared experiences. For fans, K-pop can be an important part of everyday life, self-expression and a sense of belonging. But what inspires someone to learn the choreography to their favourite song, collect photocards of their favourite idols or travel halfway across the world to see their favourite artist perform live?

K-pop Belongs to Us! – Beats, Biases and Fandom explores the many different ways people engage with K-pop. The exhibition puts fans themselves centre stage: their stories, experiences and collections reveal what fandom means to them and how K-pop can be seen and heard here in the North.

Whether you're a dedicated K-pop fan or just discovering it for the first time, the exhibition invites you to dive into the world of fandom.
