Language is a human system for conveying ideas and emotions through symbols, evolving with societal changes and technology. Social media, particularly Twitter, significantly influences language use, with communities like K-Pop fans creating unique slang. This study aims to analyze the types of slang used by the K-Pop community on Twitter and their implication in English Material Development. Using a qualitative approach, tweets were collected and categorized based on Allan and Burridge’s theory, supplemented by Eble’s classifications. The results of this study revealed that there are 56 slangs found in 50 tweets posted by K-Pop fans. 43 identified into five primary types of slang: fresh and creative, flippant, imitative, acronym and abbreviation, and clipped words, and 13 slangs made through word formation, highlighting the creative and dynamic nature of language within this community. The implications of slang were explored through various theoretical frameworks, and it is concluded that integrating slang words into English material will enhance students’ linguistic knowledge and their pragmatic competence.
