Ask what Korea is talking about.

On November 11, the U.S. music festival Coachella officially revealed its 2027 lineup, announcing Dua Lipa, Tame Impala, and SZA as headliners, with BLACKPINK's Jisoo, NCT, and BABYMONSTER among the K-pop acts set to perform, Soompi reports. The announcement drew immediate online reaction, with Koreaboo noting that a top female K-pop idol faced "brutal mockery" from netizens following the Coachella announcement, though the outlet did not name the idol or specify the nature of the criticism. Korean fans' broader sentiment around international awards and festivals has been tense, as the Korea Times reported in October that fans were angry at the Grammys for creating a new Asian pop category, with some of that anger directed at K-pop acts that reportedly submitted for it.
