MTV Asia will premiere the ‘2019 One K Concert’ as the first cable broadcaster of the concert in Southeast Asia. To help as many fans as possible to get their dose of Kpop, Twitter will be MTV Asia’s exclusive social media partner to stream the concert to #KpopTwitter fans around the region. Over 20 Kpop stars lent their voices in this concert that signifies the message of ‘One Dream, One Korea, One World’, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of a movement towards independence in South Korea.

Hosted by boy band Astro’s Cha Eun Woo and girl group Gugudan’s Kim Se-Jeong, the star-studded lineup includes Ha Sung Woon, OH MY GIRL, MONSTA X, APRIL, ASTRO, SF9, (G)I-dle, LABOUM, SONAMOO, CLC, DREAMCATCHER, KARD, ONF, TRCNG, DUETTO, Kim Jo Han, Baek Ji-Young, Jung In, ALi, Cheetah, BEN, Seo JiAn, Gilgu Bonggu, and Juniel.

Held at the National Assembly Building in South Korea on 1 March, this is the third installment of the concert and is part of the ‘One Korea Global Campaign’. It takes inspiration from Korean pop culture and encourages international audiences to come together in the unification of Korea and ultimately, global peace.

Besides the concert, other activities include an art exhibition, art festival, art contest and a documentary film. Previous Kpop and international talents in the concert include Psy, SHINee, BTOB, Peabo Bryson and Dami Im in 2017; and EXO, Sista, BTS, Red Velvet and SPICA in 2015.
