Korean idols are performers in the South Korean entertainment industry, primarily known for their singing, dancing, and acting. They often belong to music groups, called K-pop groups, and undergo rigorous training in various skills, including vocal performance and choreography, before debuting. Idols are typically managed by entertainment companies, which help promote their careers and manage public appearances. The idol culture in South Korea emphasizes a strong connection with fans, often referred to as fandoms. Idols engage with their fans through social media, concerts, and fan meetings. This close relationship contributes to the popularity of K-pop and the global reach of Korean entertainment.
