Global Service Research Internship
We connect K-pop artists and fans through new and exciting experiences.
K-pop is not just a genre of music; it is an experience, a journey, where you grow to love your artist with the community around you.
Since 2015, over 600 artists including Blackpink, Stray Kids, NCT, (G)I-DLE, and Le sserafim worked with Makestar to bring over 1,500 projects to K-pop fans worldwide. Fans have connected with their favorite artists through Videochats, Photo Cards, and Lucky Draw events unique to Makestar.
