2017 is considered as one of the greatest years for Vietnamese Kpop fans because a lot of well-loved Kpop idols have visited and performed in the country again after many years.
Vietnam is said to be South Korea’s fourth trade target country and Vietnamese fans are vocal about dedicating a huge amount of their time and resources to show their love for their favorite Kpop artists.
Kpop fandoms in the country also try to support their idols as much as possible. These enthusiasm towards Kpop is the reason why many Kpop events will be held in Vietnam in future.
We hope that 2018 will be another awesome year for Kpop fan in Vietnam!
