What Does K-pop Have to Do With U.S. Politics? Plenty | RealClearPolitics
TikTokkers came up with the idea of ordering thousands of tickets to Trump s rally with no intention of showing up, in hopes of making the arena embarrassingly empty. Whether the TikTokkers or COVID-19 was the reason for low turnout is up for debate. What is clear, however, is that K-pop fans took the TikTokkers idea and signal-boosted it across social media with lightning speed and algorithm-savvy tactics. It was only the most recent of a number of social media disruptions caused by K-pop fans, which I believe will increase, especially as the presidential election draws closer.
That’s just great.
