To follow or not to follow, what makes Twitter so great is that users can see what works and does not work right away. So this is why Twitter is so different to use to promote. However many Kpop groups have learned the secret formula. They are able to reach their fans with the latest news regarding events and news. A lot of young female Kpop fans are very active on Twitter which is why Kpop Boy Bands usually have a strong Twitter account. Here are the top 10 Boy Kpop Groups on Twitter.
