“Snowdrop,” starring Jung Hae-in and Jisoo of Blackpink, topped the list, demonstrating the correlation between K-pop and other K-content.

In 2021, there were 7.8 billion tweets related to K-pop. According to YeonJeong Kim, Head of Global K-pop and K-content Partnerships at Twitter, the appearances of K-pop stars in K-dramas and K-movies led to the surge in related tweets. 

“Twitter is where K-pop is happening, and the community of K-pop fans around the world have expanded their interests to other forms of Korean content, including dramas and movies, thus globalizing K-content.”

Other most tweeted K-dramas include “Business Proposal” starring Kim Se-jeong of Gugudan, and “The Red Sleeve” starring 2PM’s Lee Junho. Meanwhile, “Our Beloved Summer” recorded the most number of tweets in a single day. This happened when the original soundtrack “Christmas Tree” by V of BTS was released.

Korean movies headlined by K-pop stars were also some of the most tweeted as fans rallied to support their idols. The list includes K-movies “Broker” starring IU and “Hansan: Rising Dragon” with Ok Taec-yeon of 2PM.
