Effects of K-Pop Band on Female Grade 12 Students in Setting
Standards in Selecting their Partners
BACKGROUND OF THE RESEARCH

Korean pop culture (K-Pop) has spread its influence outside of Korea to a worldwide fan audience
(Laffan, 2020).
Social Media also plays a huge role in the spread of K-pop or Korean culture. Over the years, these K-
pop bands have captivated audiences and developed massive fan bases with inspiring and uplifting
Some of the kpop bands BTS, Blackpink, Twice and, SEVENTEEN work tirelessly and go through
extensive vocal, media, and choreography training before they hit the stage for the first time, in
groups ranging from four artists to 21.One of the reasons why K-pop is adored by many is because of
K-pop artists or commonly called "idols". The popularity of K-pop has a significant impact on a
variety of things, including fashion, music genres and styles, and most and sometimes setting
standards to their partner. Many fans love their idols to the point they become sasaeng — obsessed
fans. And some fans go so far as to search for Korean or Asian men who meet their expectations for a
partner who resembles their idols. Many fans also try to use social media and dating apps to not just
connect with their idols but to talk to Korean men as well (Kamdar, 2021). This research aims to
know how kpop affects the female when it comes to defining their ideal partners.
This study will look at how kpop idol affects the standards of female grade 12 students when setting
standards.
SCOPE & DELIMINATION

Our research focuses on how the Kpop bands sets expectations for what female grade 12
students look for in a significant other and how it influences dating. The delimitation is
that not all Grade 12 students are impacted by this or are really big fans of it, which can
lead to a lot of loopholes in our study that might not be covered; however, the goal of the
study is simply to demonstrate how kpop bands has influenced standards for finding a
significant other for huge fans. We are unable to list everything that they added to their
list of requirements for a partner because they tend to change frequently.
