According to a user survey conducted by 'K-Pop Radar', it's estimated that approximately 60% of Korean fans are 'single group-stans', while 75.5% of international fans are 'multi-stans'.

A survey asking the question, "Are you a multi-stan?" was held during the first in-person 'K-POP LOVERS CLUB' networking event in April. A total of 1,085 participants took part in the survey through the 'blip' app, including 900 domestic (Korean) fans and 180 international fans. 

The survey found that 60% of Korean fans were 'single group-stans' and 40% were 'multi-stans', while among international fans, 75.5% were 'multi-stans' and '25.5% were 'single group-stans'. 

In particular, the survey estimate indicated hat the longstanding culture among Korean K-Pop fans to devote themselves to only one group or artist has witnessed a decline in recent years along with the overall growth of K-Pop as a genre.

The survey also asked participants, "How did you first fall for your favorite artist(s)?". Participants were allowed to choose multiple answers for this question. 

Among Korean fans, 64% chose "Performance Clips", 55% chose "Songs", 38% chose "Self-Produced Variety Content", 37% chose "Other Variety Content", 18% chose "SNS such as Twitter", and 17% chose "Recommendation from Friends". 

Among international fans, 76% chose "Songs", 63% chose "Performance Clips", 50% chose "Self-Produced Variety Content", 43% chose "Other Variety Content", 26% chose "SNS such as Twitter", and 17% chose "Recommendation from Friends". 

In response to the resulting estimates of the 'K-Pop Radar' survey, some K-netizens pointed out, "A lot of times, you have one group you call your favorite artist, but you also lightly consume other groups!", "I have a main group, but I have side groups for when my main group isn't promoting", "There are some groups that I listen to and keep up with, but I just don't see myself being in their 'fandom'", etc.
