BTS : A GLOBAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE

BTS: A Global Interdisciplinary Conference — Official Channel

The official YouTube home of BTS: A Global Interdisciplinary Conference, where scholars from across disciplines come together to explore the BTS and ARMY phenomenon — and, from there, K-pop, Hallyu, and wherever the conversation leads. Here you'll find keynote lectures, panel sessions, filmmaker talks, and interviews from our annual gatherings held across the UK, the US, Korea, and Malaysia.

In 2026, at our 5th conference, under the theme "Next-Generation Hallyu and BTS," we examine how music, fandom, technology, and identity are reshaping global culture — and what cultural inclusivity looks like in the era of AI and platform culture.

Where will we gather next? Stay tuned.
