What loudness should you target for Kpop / K-Pop?
K-Pop (kpop) mastering represents the pinnacle of polished commercial production. Vocal production is pristine — multiple stacked harmonies, pitch-perfect leads, and clear articulation. The production is dense and wide, requiring careful frequency management. Typical loudness: -8 to -9 LUFS, highly polished.
Quantara Music's Kpop / K-Pop preset sets tone, dynamics, stereo image and loudness for kpop / k-pop production conventions, with a true-peak-safe ceiling at -1 dBTP. The result is a strong starting point for kpop / k-pop releases that you can fine-tune by ear.

Use -8.0 LUFS integrated as a reference and keep true peak under -1 dBTP; for streaming, Spotify recommends below -2 dBTP for masters louder than -14 LUFS. Master for the song first; most streaming platforms normalise playback, so the reference matters more than chasing a loud number.
