The K-Wave Festival aims to further popularize K-pop in India, a country with a rapidly growing fan base for the genre. Last year, the festival featured notable K-pop artists like Kim Woo Jin and the rookie girl group X. Additionally, international artists such as The Rose and Eric Nam performed at Lollapalooza India earlier this year, highlighting the increasing integration of K-pop into the Indian music scene.
Upcoming events also include GOT7’s BamBam, who will be holding his first fan-signing event in India on December 15, 2024. This continuous stream of K-pop events and performances reflects the genre’s expanding influence in India.
