K-Pop Concert Films, Series, Variety Shows & Their August 2024 Release Dates
Several K-pop concert films and variety shows will be released in August 2024. The intriguing lineup of new releases includes SEVENTEEN and BLACKPINK concert films and the BTS JiKook unit’s variety show. Korean pop concert films have recently become a new addition to the core K-pop experience. In the past few years, multiple artists have released concert films in the theater before moving them to an OTT platform.
The relatively new concept has been a win-win for fans and labels, as watching a K-pop concert film in a theater creates a collective experience. Moreover, fans who can’t watch a concert in person can get an immersive experience, elevating their overall fandom solidarity.
Along with that, viewers are also getting new concepts of variety shows. So, instead of relying on a comeback or new music release, artists can now produce different variety shows for fans. Here’s a look at all the exciting new K-pop films and variety show drops of August 2024.
