TWICE's official channel is about as safe as K-pop gets—catchy songs, impressive dance routines, and a squeaky-clean image. The music videos are genuinely well-produced, and if your kid is going to be into K-pop (and let's be real, millions are), this is a reasonable entry point.
But let's not pretend this is enriching screen time. It's YouTube, which means even if you start with one innocent "Cheer Up" video, the algorithm is designed to keep your kid scrolling for hours. The comments section is a mess with nearly 19 million subscribers, and the parasocial intensity of K-pop fandom can get weird fast.
If your tween wants to watch a few music videos or learn a dance routine, fine. But set boundaries around time and make sure they're not disappearing into a YouTube spiral. And maybe use this as a gateway to broader Korean culture—language learning, Korean cinema, or actual creative pursuits like dance classes—rather than just passive consumption of increasingly manufactured content.
