Within one fandom, there can be various micro-communities across numerous social media outlets. From Twitter to Instagram, there are countless avenues where new fans can make friends.
One platform that has risen in popularity over the years is Discord! The popular communication app allows its users to chat via text and voice, as well as send files which may include fancams or photographs of your favorite idol group.
Now if you're a newcomer to the K-Pop scene and want to make friends, here's how to do so via Discord!
1. Introduce Yourself

One of the first places you might want to visit in a K-Pop Discord server is the 'Introductions' channel. There, you can briefly provide a brief overview of who you are, your interests, and even your bias in the group. And while not all servers have an 'Introductions' channel, you can always send a short message in the general channel to kick off the conversation.
2. Talk Regularly In Text Channels

In order to form any relationship, you need to establish some form of regular conversation. This same concept can be applied to Discord.
Look around the server your in for a text channel that might interest you. Once you do, continue to chime in into various conversations, bonding over your favorite idols and outside interests/hobbies!
While talking to new people might seem scary at first, once you get going, you'll be able to quickly form long lasting friendships.
3. Join A Voice Call With Other Fans

Once you've started talking with other fans from the same fandom, you'll naturally get comfortable enough to enter a voice call with them.
Entering a voice call can be akin to going from acquaintances to close-knit friends. You can watch various K-Pop content with a group of people and hear their reactions happen in real time.
It adds yet another layer to K-Pop friendship and one more opportunity to gush over your favorite celebrities in a group setting.
While these tips might seem simple in nature, it can be extremely hard to go through with them. But when you do, you'll forge friendships all across the globe.
