KM Chart is quickly establishing itself as one of Korea’s top three K-pop chart platforms, gaining recognition for its fairness, transparency, and fan-centric approach since launching in 2023.
Interactive Charts Driven by Fans
Founded by entertainment industry veteran Yoon Sung-bin, KM Chart breaks away from traditional data-only models by focusing on real fan participation. Its partnership with Idol Champ ensures that chart rankings reflect actual fan engagement, not just popularity metrics.
Seasonal Charts and Engaging Awards
KM Chart’s ‘Season Best’ quarterly rankings have garnered over 850,000 views, offering K-pop fans a real-time, interactive experience through live streaming. The platform also launched the Universal Superstar Awards in 2023, hosting major artists like NCT Taeyong and VIVIZ, and making the event accessible with affordable ticketing for all fans.
Expanding the K-pop Ecosystem
The upcoming KM Chart Awards (2025 KMA), scheduled for July, highlights the platform’s commitment to annual, sustainable events. KM Chart is also developing new business models, such as content funding for smaller creators and global fan media, aiming to strengthen connections across the music industry.
A New Era for K-pop Charts
KM Chart’s dedication to fairness, openness, and real-time fan interaction is setting a new standard in the industry. By prioritizing fans as active contributors, KM Chart is shaping a more inclusive and sustainable K-pop landscape for artists, fans, and creators alike.
