FAQs

Got Questions? We've Got Answers!

What is NC K-pop Hive

NC Kpop Hive is a North Carolina-based K-pop community hub that hosts events, creates resources, and builds connections. Stay connected to the collective!

We’re currently a grassroots community group. We’re exploring nonprofit options to better support inclusive and sensory-friendly fandom spaces.

Do you sell K-pop albums or merchandise?

No. We don’t sell official albums. We create original fan resources, zines, freebies, and sometimes handmade or digital items. Occasionally, items will be available for purchase in our Ko-fi shop to help fundraise.

How can I get involved with NC K-pop Hive?

Message us on Instagram or Facebook @nckpophive, or send us an email at nckpophive@gmail.com about donations or volunteering. We can always use extra help on our social media platforms and at in-person events!

Can NC K-pop Hive help me with promotions?

Yes! Just send us a message! All promotions are free. If you need additional help with designs or print-based promotions, we may encourage a donation to help cover supplies or reimburse volunteers for their resources.

Can you help me find concert or fansign information?

Yes! We have a group of volunteers and "veteran fans" who can quickly help you find information or direct you to resources about official K-pop events?

I don't live in NC, can I still contact you?

Of course! While we specialize in the North Carolinian areas, we can help out regardless of where you're from. In terms of promotions on social media, we can repost and share to our stories, but may limit collaborations or promotions via our main feed to prioritize the North Carolina community.

What is Buzzworthy? / Can I submit something for it?

Buzzworthy is a fan magazine! You can email any artwork, writings, events, business promotions, or ideas to nckpophive@gmail.com. You do not have to be from North Carolina to participate. There is no fee. All fandoms welcome. No NSFW or AI.
