Abstract

K-pop, known for its idols and iconic groups, has gained prominence worldwide, especially in Asia and Europe. This article focuses on the use of music videos as a tool for dance learning, specifically in Lima, Peru, to understand the perceptions and impact on the learning of culture among young K-Pop fans. To carry out this research, a semi-structured interview was developed, validated, and conducted with 10 young female university students residing in Lima, Peru. The results indicate notable patterns in the consumption and learning of K-Pop through music videos, highlighting the relevance of platforms such as YouTube and other social networks in learning. Likewise, the interviewees provide a detailed description of the challenges and strategies associated with learning K-Pop dance. It is concluded that globally, the dissemination of K-Pop culture mainly occurs online, especially through social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, as well as in the digital realm through apps like TikTok. The influence of friends also plays a crucial role in the spread of the K-Pop phenomenon. The incorporation of K-Pop music videos is an essential part of developing dance skills and constructing the identity of young women, despite facing linguistic and technical obstacles.
