There are a few things that every hardcore K-Pop fan needs. The three following apps incorporate nearly every window into the popular Korean pop music trends. From videos to live streams and everything in between, these apps are a must for those who don't simply like the K-Pop genre but want to immerse themselves in it.
1. V-LIVE
V-LIVE is a Korean app made for fans all over the world. The app serves as a platform for your favorite K-Pop groups and Korean actors to record and upload videos, clips, live streams, music videos and more. The best part is that many of the videos include subtitles in multiple languages. So how does it all work? Simply download the app, create an account, search for a celebrity's channel and start following all of the idols you love!
The app is still relatively new, so the developers are sure to update regularly in order to add new features and improve the overall quality. Some of the app's best features include the ability to chat with other users or even a celebrity (but only if you understand Korean). The biggest names in K-Pop are on the app: BTS, Bigbang, EXO, GOT7 and so many others — all of which upload plenty of videos for your viewing pleasure.
2. DramaFever
Created in 2009, the app allows users to stream hundreds of different Korean TV shows for no cost at all. And fret not, they are all subbed. Despite the name of the app, it offers more than just Korean dramas. It also features popular variety shows that K-Pop idols appear on and even past concerts or world tours performed by K-Pop stars. The app assures hours of bing-worthy content.
3. Tumblr
Now you may have already heard of this app, but did you know that it contains a plethora of K-Pop related content? Tumblr is a good app for staying up to date with what's going on in the world of Korean entertainment. The way it works is you simply search tags related to the K-Pop group or singer you are interested in and then numerous results related to that artist will come up. Tumblr includes content ranging from pictures, GIF images, videos, text posts and artwork created by fellow fans.
