K-Pop in itself is iconic, but there are performances that truly stand out in the history of the genre. In fact, the genre’s reach is so wide that there are K-Pop memes that went viral with non-K-Pop fans and, more recently, BTS‘s V gained attention internationally with non-fans trying to find out exactly who he was thanks to his stunning visuals!
Although there are many, many K-Pop performances that were iconic, we’ve assembled a list of five that really stand out.
