Why do Fans Bark at K-pop Concerts?

Kpopcast: for the best sounds & ideas in Kpop

Surely, at some point in your North American K-pop concert experience, you've experienced the woof. How are we supposed to feel about barking at K-pop concerts, and where does it come from?

On this episode, Tamar Herman, Jason of Popsori, Syed of Genius Korea & Todd discuss the K-pop culture of barking at concerts. The panelists offer some alternatives to making animal noises at K-pop shows and provide other casual reflections stemming from the bark - like the meaning of K-pop itself.

Correction: In this episode, we say Otoboke Beaver are from Osaka. They are in fact from Kyoto.
