Cultural Notes
K-pop groups in Korea often conduct national tours to maintain fan engagement and perform across different regions. The concept of a "comeback" or "reunion" (재결합) is significant in Korean pop culture—when groups disband and later reunite, it creates major excitement among fans. The use of interactive events like quizzes and fan story readings during concerts reflects the close, participatory relationship between Korean artists and their fanbase, which is a distinctive feature of K-pop culture.
