​박기활
Today, Korean culture — led by K-POP and extending into dramas, films, and even traditional arts — has captured the hearts of people around the world. What was once known as “Korean culture” has now blossomed into a shared cultural treasure loved and embraced by global citizens everywhere.

The Korean Wave (Hallyu) has transcended borders, showcasing the rich, creative, and emotionally resonant cultural heritage of Korea. The world continues to be inspired by the beauty, imagination, and sincerity of Korean artistry — qualities we believe will sustain and grow this movement for generations to come.

At the heart of our vision is a hope: that K-POP will serve as a universal cultural language — one that brings joy, connection, and hope to people across the globe. We also recognize the duality and complexity of cultural industries and seek to foster a K-POP ecosystem that breaks down the barriers between creators and audiences, enabling shared enjoyment and meaningful cultural exchange.

The K-POP World Federation is committed to public good over profit. Rooted in the values of ethical creation and conscious consumption, we aim to expand K-POP as a participatory cultural movement — one that uplifts lives and genuinely contributes to Korea’s national image and global standing
Vision Connecting the Dreams and Passions of Youth Worldwide Through K-POP
We aim to build a vibrant global stage where young people around the world who love K-POP can discover, support, and actively participate in this culture. Through this platform, we will foster ongoing engagement with global fans, expand the foundation of support, and evolve into a global hub that broadens the reach and influence of K-POP culture.
Mission No One Should Be Left Out of K-POP
No one should be deprived of the opportunity to experience K-POP—regardless of economic circumstances, geographical limitations, or cultural barriers. Our mission is to deliver dreams and hope to everyone through K-POP, while ensuring equal access to cultural enjoyment and participation for all.
