Are you also curious about fellow K-Drama fans?! Let’s hear their stories and interests in Kpopmap Fan Interview Project.

There are K-Drama fans across the globe who share the same passion. But on online platforms, it is hard to know about each other’s stories and tastes. Even if we are in the same fandom, it is hard to get to know each other.

So at Kpopmap, we started the Kpopmap Fan Interview Project to get to know more about K-Drama fans from different countries. Just like the Kpopmap Fan Interview for idols, the Kpopmap Fan Interview for actors aims to open the opportunity for fans to promote, talk about, and share their love for their favorite actor/actress with our readers.

 

Ratna from Indonesia is the next fan to answer our questions about their favorite actor- Lee BumSoo! Check out how she became her fan, the reasons why she is a fan, the dramas she recommends, and much more insights about Lee BumSoo.
