It also confirmed that the two most-tweeted topics related to 'Itaewon Class' were 'Sweet Night OST' and 'BTS V,' who sang and participated in the OST's composition and production.


In addition, the data revealed that word cloud related to 'Itaewon Class' connected it to 11 other K-dramas in 2021. This shows that interest in 'Itaewon Class' led fans to other K-dramas, making it a critical influence in getting new fans interested in more K-content. 


The analysis also showed that 'Navillera' was the 6th most popular K-webtoon mainly due to Taehyung recommending it on a fan cafe.
