At the University of the West of Scotland, Marlene Asare and Carly Chan run the K‑pop Society.
They say it offers joy and connection.
“K‑pop gives happy vibes,” said Marlene.
“When I’m studying or bored, I listen to it, sometimes I dance.”
Carly said: “I love the choreography and hearing different languages.
“It always makes me feel excited.”
They said K‑pop’s international nature was a huge part of its appeal.
“It’s multi‑language,” Marlene explained.
“And when idols try to speak your language, it feels really special.”
But, like Laura and Daniela, the UWS students are frustrated by the lack of Scottish tour dates, particularly for BTS.
The group, who recently launched their comeback after completing mandatory military service, who are playing two sold-out shows in London this summer.
Carly said: “BTS are loved in Scotland.
“We want them to come here.”
