03 / KpopPick

A directory should help a new fan choose where to start, not just present another wall of names.

I am building KpopPick to bring group profiles, member information, quizzes, saved picks, videos, social links, correction tools, and product discovery into one phone-first experience.

Why I started it

I kept finding K-pop information spread across profile sites, social pages, videos, stores, and fan discussions. The directories I tried could be dense, outdated, or difficult to browse on a phone.

I began with a group finder, then expanded it into the pages I thought someone would need after discovering a match: profiles, members, music videos, official links, saved groups, and corrections.

02

What changed

  • Compressed the group finder for mobile so choices stay readable without turning the page into a long form.
  • Separated discovery actions that originally sent visitors to the same place.
  • Added saved picks, group status information, shop destinations, corrections, verification notes, and support for smaller or newer groups.
  • Reviewed missing portraits, broken video thumbnails, duplicate numbering, profile-image errors, and inconsistent badges.

What makes it difficult

I have to keep up with information that changes constantly. Groups debut, disband, change members, update social links, and use names that are easy to confuse.

Because of that, I treat correction handling and source review as part of the product rather than an administrative detail. I also have to keep the interface calm when a profile contains many links and pieces of information.

What I am refining now

I am refining KpopPick around three core jobs: helping someone discover a group, understand it quickly, and save or continue exploring without losing context.
