K-pop has been booming all throughout the world these recent years. K-pop fans are now more rampant, and almost everyone is now a part of the K-pop community.

Both in Asia and in the Western scene, K-pop has been massively popular. K-pop groups such as BTS, TWICE, BLACKPINK, Red Velvet, Exo, ITZY, Stray Kids, aespa, TXT, MAMAMOO, IKON, IZ*ONE, GFriend, SEVENTEEN, and more, have garnered a massive following who supports them.

Every album release, variety show guesting, fan meets, and every other event, fans of those K-pop groups are ready and more than willing to show their support. But beyond K-pop groups, there are entertainers in the K-pop industry that also have a big following. These entertainers are solo idols and have either debuted solo or broke off with their K-pop groups to go their own way.

Regardless of being solo or not, these K-pop idols and entertainers have the support of a lot of fans, sometimes even greater than that of some K-pop groups.

With that being said, in no particular order, here is a list of K-pop soloists who are immensely popular in the industry:
