This year’s K-pop Lovers Festival continued to attract young people who love K-pop with activities such as a K-pop idol exhibition; flashmob and displays to introduce Korean culture, tourism and cuisine.
"This is the first time the festival has taken place next to Hoan Kiem Lake," said director Park Hyejin. "I hope the festival will be an cool destination for young people who love Korean culture and K-Pop during the first days of summer."
Performing at the festival is Korean GORPHY and Vietnamese singer Min.
The two-day festival includes a contest entitled K-pop World Festival. The event is the most anticipated contest of the K-Pop community in Vietnam. The contest’s regional preliminaries are held annually in Vietnam.
It saw the participation of 18 individuals and groups who are final contestants selected from a one-month long qualifying round in Hanoi and HCM City.
The contest organisers will set up a new band from the winners, which will be trained by Vietnamese and Korean professionals before attending the K-Pop World’s final round in the Republic of Korea.
