How Indian Twitter Influencers Find Brand Deals in South Korea in 2025

So you’re an Indian influencer on Twitter wondering how to snag brand deals from South Korea in 2025? Well, you’re not alone. The South Korean market is buzzing with opportunities, but it’s a different ballgame from India’s usual influencer scene. Let me break it down for you—no fluff, just the real-deal tactics that work for Indian creators looking to score brand collaborations in Korea.

We’ll talk Twitter because yeah, it’s not just for memes and news anymore—India’s Twitter influencer community is booming, and Korean brands are noticing. We’ll cover payment stuff in INR and won’t forget the legal and cultural angles that can make or break your deal.

Ready? Let’s dive in.

📢 Why South Korea? Why Twitter?

South Korea is one of Asia’s biggest ad spenders, especially in beauty, K-fashion, lifestyle, and tech. Indian influencers are gaining traction there because Korean brands want to tap into India’s massive market, and Twitter’s the perfect bridge.

Unlike Insta or YouTube, Twitter’s real-time vibe suits trend-driven promos, product launches, and brand storytelling. Plus, Twitter India had a spike post-2023 with more verified influencer engagement—making it a hotbed for brand deals.

💡 How Indian Influencers Actually Find Brand Deals in South Korea

1. Network Like It’s Your Full-Time Hustle

Forget waiting for brand emails. Indian influencers on Twitter are sliding into Korean brand DMs directly or connecting via mutual contacts. Twitter’s open DMs and lists help here—find Korean marketing heads or agency folks and start engaging.

For example, Mumbai-based influencer @NehaTweets used this tactic in early 2025. She DM’d a Seoul-based K-beauty startup after interacting with their content, which landed her a collab featuring IPL-season promos.

2. Partner With India-Based Agencies That Have Korea Ties

Some local influencer marketing platforms and agencies have expanded their roster to include Korean clients. Think “The Glitch” or “Pulp Strategy” — they’ve started brokering cross-border brand deals involving South Korea.

Also, platforms like BaoLiba (yeah, shameless plug!) provide a direct line to Korean brands hunting for Indian creators. These agencies handle contracts, payment logistics (hello INR-friendly invoicing!), and even campaign briefs translated into Indian English or Hindi.

3. Leverage Twitter Trends and Hashtags with Korean Flavor

Jump on Korean trends—like #KBeauty, #SeoulTech—and add your Indian twist. Brands scan for influencers who can create content relevant to both markets. This dual appeal is gold.

For instance, @RajeshInTech tweeted about a Korean gadget launch with Hindi-English commentary, sparked a Korean brand’s interest, and ended up doing a paid Twitter Space session with them.

4. Use Payment Tools That Work Cross-Border but Prefer INR Settlements

Most Korean brands pay via Payoneer, Wise, or wire transfer. But Indian influencers often insist on payments in INR to avoid forex hassles and tax complications.

Agencies or platforms act as middlemen here, converting USD or KRW to INR seamlessly. Just remember to keep GST compliance in check and issue proper invoices.

5. Understand Korean Business Culture—Respect & Formality Matter

Unlike India’s often casual influencer chats, Korean brands expect formal proposals and punctuality. Emails should be polite and clear. Your Twitter pitch DM can be casual but follow up with a professional email.

Indian influencers who adapt quickly to this cultural nuance score repeat deals.
