Making Friends


While K-pop fans mostly go to concerts with friend groups, sometimes that is not always the case. Twitter and other social platforms have served as great ways to connect to others who enjoy the same artists. Concerts can be a great meeting place for friends made on said platforms, However, some people may go to concerts without friends or friends to meet. Once at the concert people flying solo can make new friends as so many fans are extroverted and open to giving you company. So regardless of whether you came alone or not you never feel lonely!
