Grant K-Pop Groups To Have Concerts In South Africa

The Issue

  1. K-Pop has become such a huge genre in South Africa and it got many people in South Africa more and more interested in learning more about Korean and Asian culture. Some people in South Africa that actually do see their concerts have to pay over R30 000 (including flights, tickets, merch, accommodation etc) just to see their favourite groups which is a waste of money, whereas K-Pop can come to South Africa and see how many loyal K-Pop Stans they have. They always talk about coming here but never do because the companies do not grant them having world tour here. In South Africa, K-Pop is more streamed on Spotify than any other genres. Also in South Africa, stats have shown that are more than 10 million people that listen to K-Pop and shown the Top 10 K-Pop groups that are most listened to in South Africa in 2022 in order are BTS, BLACKPINK, TWICE, STRAY KIDS, AESPA, TXT, (G)I-DLE, RED VELVET, IVE and LE SSERAFIM, therefore we ask K-Pop Companies like HYBE, YG, SM, JYP, STARSHIP and CUBE to please grant their K-Pop groups to have Fan Meetings and Concerts in South Africa.
