HallyuPopFest Day 2 started with a blast to a showcase by Trei, Kanto and VERIVERY.
A newly debuted group, Trei, a 3 members group opened the showcase with a performance to their debut song 'Deep'. Right away, we had Kanto in the house putting out an array of stunning performances, living up to his name as a rapper. Afterwards, we had a newly debuted group, VERIVERY, under JellyFish Entertainment. The group treated fans to an array of energy-filled performances.
Before the concert, groups dressed fashionably walked down the red carpet in style. Kanto mentioned that he will be having acts throughout the year and wishes to collaborate with NU'EST's Baekho and ACE's Chan&Jun if a chance arises. The rapper-composer has collaborated with many popular artists such as Kim Sung Gyu and Woozi producing hit songs. We are looking forward to the collaboration!
Pentagon's red carpet moments had Wooseok being exposed as the member who isn't the same on-stage and off. The members explained that Wooseok has a cheerful and humorous personality compared to his serious character portrayed.
The concert kicked off with (G)I-DLE performing to Senorita. The 6 multinational girl-group showed their captivating Latina dance grooves to songs like Blow Your Mind, Give Me Your and LATATA. The members expressed their thankfulness to be part of the biggest K-Pop Festival in Singapore. Being the first act, they were exceptionally stunning.
KARD took the second act of the night with an addictive line-up of songs. The mixed gender 4-member group took on the stage with Don't Recall, You In Me and rounding it up with Bomb Bomb. Their remarkable performances had fans dancing along with Jiwoo saying "This is our second time back in Singapore after our KARD show in 2018, being part of this K-Pop Festival is truly an amazing moment."
Right next, we had Pentagon in the stadium. The cheerful group performed with such enjoyment and confidence to Sha La La and Critical Beauty. Hongseok expressed how much he misses Singapore due to the fact that he studied at HwaChong International School. Pentagon also performed to their addictive instrumental song, Shine. Were you there to dance along with them? The group is set to returned to Singapore for their first concert on 2nd November 2019.
Monsta X was the second last act of the show, their appearance screams excitement from the fans. With Jealousy being the first song, there was an overwhelming response. Right from the start, fans' eyes were treated to a feast. Wonho wore a translucent innerwear exposing his chiseled body, he even removed his outerwear later on. The members too made sure they interacted with as many as they could. Monsta X also treated fans to Play It Cool, DRAMARAMA and Alligator.
Super Junior took on the headliner for Day 2 HallyuPopFest. The legends have returned after their last Super Show 7 in Singapore.
When the screen flashed "Super Junior", the stadium was lighted up in Sapphire Blue, the color of their fandom. Watch it here:
Without further ado, the group made their appearance with Sorry Sorry. The song which made a major breakout into foreign countries, the MV has a total count of over 106 Million views as of today. The members ran up and down the stage, every corner of the stage, just for fans to take a closer look at them. How thoughtful of the guys! They also treated fans to a remix version of Bonamana, One More Chance, Ryeowook's Drunk in the morning and Yesung's It has to be you. Rounding up the show with a nostalgic song - Miracle. The members hinted a new album tentatively releasing later part of 2019 and may even return to Singapore for Super Show.
