From K-Pop’s diverse sounds, to its captivating performances and magnetic personalities – it’s no wonder this genre has become a global cultural phenomenon like no other. I personally dipped my toes into the genre during the height of the pandemic, so I would consider myself a K-Pop baby (and a baby Once). But I have not looked back since. TWICE has absolutely dominated my Spotify Wrapped since 2020.

On Spotify alone, K-Pop streams have grown by over 180% in the United States, over 420% in Southeast Asia, and over 360% worldwide since 2018. In the Philippines, K-Pop has also skyrocketed in popularity, recording a 343% growth in Spotify streams between 2018 to 2023. I am definitely proud to be a part of this growth. It’s a testament to the power of music in transcending barriers and bringing fans from all over the world together.

Here’s how you can unlock Your K-Pop Persona:

• Visit https://spotify.com/yourkpoppersona on your mobile device.
• Answer five questions on the way you stan to receive your Main Role in the K-Pop fandom. Inspired by the roles usually assigned to members in a K-Pop Group, you could be a Main Visual, Main Vocal, Main Rapper, Main Dancer, or Trainee. Whether a long-time stan or just dipping your toes into the world of K-Pop, all fans* are welcome to experience Your K-Pop Persona – even non-Spotify users.
• As a bonus, Spotify users can also unlock an additional Fan Role, which celebrates each individual’s fandom by giving them a persona based on their K-Pop listening habits.
• You’ll then receive a digital photocard with your results, which can be customized before sharing and comparing on social media.

I would highly recommend K-Pop stans to give this a go. It’s a fun little interactive experience that allows you to embrace the genre and appreciate the part you play in your fandom. My K-Pop Persona is the Main Rapper which is described to be witty, cheeky and fun (Shoutout to TWICE’s Chaeyoung who is the bias of several of my friends). Make sure to check yours out now!

To amp up the fun, Spotify also collaborated with some of the hottest names in K-Pop for the release of Your K-Pop Persona. Be sure to follow Spotify PH on X to compare your results with Cha Eun-Woo, and stay tuned to discover the K-Pop Personas of the likes of TOMORROW X TOGETHER, SEVENTEEN, BOYNEXTDOOR and THE BOYZ!

Your K-Pop Persona is now live in 31 markets, including the Philippines, and will be available until May 10th, 2024. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to flex your role in the fandom with Spotify’s latest interactive experience!
