Among the Top 5 most popular Twitter Spaces in the world in the previous months, three out of them are revealed to belong to K-pop artists, and those are Spaces of GOT7 Bambam, NCT, and TWICE.
What is Twitter Spaces?
Twitter Spaces is the latest medium where users can have live audio conversations on Twitter. Launched on May 4, the platform is open to the public, and people can easily join or make a Space of their own. A user needs to have at least 600 followers to host a Space.
Space can have up to 11 speakers at the same time, including the host. There will be no limit on the number of listeners, so anyone can join as long as the Space is ongoing.
Twitter Spaces is available for both Android and iOS versions of the Twitter app.
Since it was released, several K-pop artists took advantage of the platform to better communicate and get closer to the fans.

On July 8, Twitter unveiled the Top 5 Twitter Spaces with the most listeners as of June 30. As mentioned above, GOT7 Bambam, NCT, and TWICE occupied three spots on the list.
