Kpopmap's BL Survey Report: Global Fans Taste In Korean BL, Find Out What They Like (Part 1)

Kpopmap

In the last 3 years, it has become clear to global fans that Korean producers and creators have finally taken their stake in the BL genre and are ready to consistently produce and release more of this themed series at regular intervals. Like every other art form, the genre is subjective and dependent on the opinion, views, and responses of the global audience. While the rapid increase in the release of this themed series has been applaudable and duly led to calls for more releases at the same rate as non-BL dramas from the country, there has also been a vivid call for quality in relation to storyline, acting, settings, chemistry, and even the intimate moments as well.

As fans of the genre, Kpopmap decided to host a global survey, asking our readers and fans of the genre to join us in contributing to its growth by sharing their opinions on the dramas released so far and ideas on how it can ultimately get better.

The survey ran from the 17th to the 26th of April and received a lot of buzz online which was also reflected in the impressive amount of responses we collated from fans. We thank you for your keen interest and participation in this survey.

With 1,649 responses from over 84 countries, fans shared their thoughts and opinions on the genre as well as their expectations for its future. This survey report will definitely be introducing more growth in the genre as Kpopmap will be sharing it with one of the leading webtoon and BL production companies, KENAZ Productions ("The Director Who Buys Me Dinner" and "Blueming").
