If there is one thing most K-pop fans miss most during the current global situation, it’s the ability to see their favourite idols performing on stage. However, with safety being the utmost priority in all of our lives right now, concerts are seen as more of a future event that we can all return to attending when the time is right.
Despite that, there’s been an increase in the number of K-pop acts using online platforms as a way to reach their fans during this difficult period. While performing to an empty audience might seem like a rather strange concept, it is a great way to keep K-pop fans entertained even when they cannot be there physically. From BTS to EXO’s Baekhyun and popular girl group IZ*ONE, here are 7 K-pop concerts that you can catch online from the comfort of your home.
