About

KVIBE IDOLS Journal is an independent English-language K-pop information site run by the KVIBE IDOLS team at THETIMES CO., LTD. (Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea). We publish weekly K-pop news round-ups, a weekly song index, comeback calendars, concert schedules by country, group guides, a Korean fan-word dictionary and multilingual guides for global fans.

What we do

Original summaries and explainers written by our editors, with links to the original sources.
Video sections that link to or embed videos only from official artist, label, broadcaster or platform channels through YouTube's standard embed player.
Translations for fans in Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese.

Editorial policy

We do not publish unauthorized full song lyrics or leaked material. Trademarks, artist names and titles belong to their respective owners. KVIBE IDOLS Journal is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any agency, broadcaster or streaming platform unless clearly stated. If you find an error, please tell us and we will correct it.

Virtual characters and AI-assisted production

KVIBE IDOLS is an original virtual entertainment project. Its hosts, characters and voices may be AI-generated and are fictional. Our coverage of real artists is separate editorial content and does not imply their participation in the KVIBE project. AI-assisted drafting and translation require editorial checking against the cited sources.

Travel information should be checked against the linked venue before visiting. Chart articles retain the stated period and methodology; a KVIBE editorial index is not an official streaming-platform ranking.
