The journey of the project ‘KStarNFT’ begins with the aim to fulfill the K-pop fans’ desire to connect with their favorite artists and own the goods. K-pop fandoms have a strong notion that you are a ‘true fan’ only if you buy the goods of their favorite stars. For example, when an artist releases an album, EP, or single, fans think that they must help its success by purchasing physical copies to make it reach No.1 on the music charts. That’s part of the fan activity. The phenomenon explains how the Korean cultural content market size is expected to be 70.9 billion USD by 2023. Also, K-pop artists such as BTS, and Blackpink’s merchandise market size exceeded US$132 million. Notably, K-pop market sales are generated overseas for the most part. According to data available on the Financial Supervisory Service's electronic disclosure system as of Monday, Hybe, which manages BTS, Seventeen, and Enhypen, saw domestic sales account for only 24.96 percent out of US$390 million in its total sales in the first half of this year.

Such issues include fake concert tickets, unlicensed merchandise, payment, delivery issue, etc. Hence global fans around the world are always seeking seamless means to own their favorite artists’ goods that are authentic and can be easily acknowledged by others.
