K-Pop Radar was started in Aug. 2019 by the music company Space Oddity. They produced a fandom data observatory. K-Pop Radar provides unbiased data by analyzing a group or an artists' fandom size, growth, accomplishments, and milestones across social media. It is the first and only dashboard that shows data concerning K-pop fandoms that are refreshed every day and can be easily looked into at a glance.
They have three step-process to do this: Observe, Analyze, and Easy & Fun. With the technology they created called Blip, they detect and record the growth of a K-pop artist's random data. Through their observation, they predict and public special cases in a brief. After, they analyze through practical case analysis, looking into internal factors that caused their growth. They then find ways to do fun activities. K-Pop Radar's goal is to eliminate the gap for people who want more access to their favorite artists.
