KITE — K-pop fans’ dreams to come true at the Expo 2020 Dubai

DUBAI:  KITE (K-Pop in the Emirates) will bring the wildly popular Korean music genre to Expo 2020 on November 12, with the catchy hooks and sing-along lyrics of boy band Highlight and solo artist Punch.

The event, which takes place at Jubilee Park, will feature two live concerts, as well as a virtual show broadcast from the Republic of Korea that will star popular bands Laboum, Luminous, and BTOB.

Formerly known as Beast, K-pop act Highlight will delight fans in the UAE with their distinctive vocals and upbeat instrumental riffs, which come together to augment a memorable stage performance.

Singer and rapper Punch is behind Stay With Me – part of the soundtrack to the TV drama Guardian – which racked up one million likes on YouTube. Renowned for penning and singing soundtracks for an array of television series, much like her moniker, the award-winning artist’s performance promises to pack a punch.

KITE, which is a collaboration between the Korean Cultural Centre in the UAE and the Korea Creative Content Agency, will take place at Jubilee Park on November 12. Attendance is free for Expo 2020 ticket holders, but visitors are advised to arrive early.

The exclusive virtual concert of BTOB, Laboum, and Luminous will be replayed through the Korean Cultural Centre’s YouTube channel for two weeks.
