in Winterland 3

he girls of Lovelyz are back with their fourth concert “Lovelyz in Winterland 3” and for the first time, they held a concert in Singapore at ZEPP@BIGBOX where many fans were gathered on the 17th of March. The concert started off with a magical fairytale like video telling a story of the girls’ tale in Winter Worlds and the girls stood on stage with their first song “Lost N Found”.

Afterwards, a two part VCR was shown to keep the fans entertained while Lovelyz were getting ready for the concert. In the VCR, the girls were split into two teams - Team Mijoo and Team Baby Soul - and they had to each prepare a dish while trying to be as quiet as possible or else they would receive punishments in the form of ugly accessories and makeup. The team with the fewest punishments would be the winner. The video was adorable and fun, eliciting laughter from the crowd every time a member made a mistake.

There were several talk sections where the members tried their best to communicate with their fans. These sections were mostly done in English which put the translator out of business and it was evident that the members prepared a lot. It was heartwarming to see the amount of effort the girls put in to communicate with their fans.

A variety of performances showcased the groups’ talent in singing and dancing such as performances ranging from emotional ballads to upbeat dance performances. Hit

songs like “WoW!”, “Ah-Choo” and “Hi~” kept the crowd screaming with excitement.

The girls started off their encore with “Twinkle” and the concert hall erupted with cheers. Soon after, the girls had to say their ending comments and during then, the staff rolled in a cake which was an early surprise celebration for member Kei’s 24th birthday on the 20th of March. The fans also held up a banner with the words “Happy Kei Day” on it. While blowing out the candle, Kei’s wish was “To come to Singapore a lot” and this garnered many cheers from the fans. The surprise event was a definite success.

A final video showing the journey of the girls’ career was played. From videos of their first win on music shows to other milestones they achieved.

“Thank you for debuting” - was what the video ended off with.

After the video, the girls turned around to see the fans holding up a banner thanking them for working hard. All of the girls except for Baby Soul cried from their fans’ touching event. Member Yein mentioned that she was especially grateful when she saw the words “Thank you for debuting” during the video and all of the member thanked the fans.

Ending off with the song “Good Night Like Yesterday”, the girls concluded their first concert in Singapore. With promises to come back to Singapore again, the girls bid farewell to their fans.

he most eagerlyanticipated K-pop music festival in the region, HallyuPopFest (HPF) returns this May for its second edition in Singapore. The best of Korean music and culture will converge at the electrifying K-pop extravaganza, which happens on the 25th and 26th of May 2019 at Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Globally acclaimed superstars SUPER JUNIOR, will be headlining the festival, along with wildly popular bands such as MONSTA X, NU’EST and WINNER. In this year’s edition, a new segment, HallyuTown will also debut.

It will function as the main festival square where HallyuPopFest’s muchloved Red Carpet event will be held. HallyuTown will be open to the public offering a variety of Hallyurelated booths and activities featuring K-Food, K-Beauty and K-Lifestyle, as well as a dedicated Fan Support area for fans to show their love and support for their idols.

As South East Asia’s first and largest K-pop festival, #HallyuPopFest was the most tweeted hashtag in Singapore in 2018, and last year’s festival saw over 25,000 attendees from all over the region. This year’s edition of the ‘Korean Wave Movement’ promises to be another spectacular event, with more unstoppable entertainment for K-pop fans.

Each event day, festivalgoers get an all-in-one, day-to-night experience, starting with activities at HallyuTown, Showcase performances by up-andcoming K-pop artistes, the Red Carpet event, Artiste Engagement opportunities and finally our spectacular Evening Concerts featuring our headliner acts. The artiste line-up will boast a total of 15 performing acts including established boyband PENTAGON, top girl groups (G)I-DLE and OH MY GIRL, reggaeton group K.A.R.D, veteran soloist HYOLYN, chart-topping rock band N.FLYING, and talented rapper KANTO,

as well as the next generation of K-pop music acts including GWSN, A.C.E, VERIVERY and TREI. Boasting a full Korean technical team like last year, HallyuPopFest promises another spectacular backdrop for every artiste’s performance full of creative visuals and effects for more unforgettable performances.

“HallyuPopFest came about because we wanted to create a festival experience where K-pop fans from all over, from various fandoms could come together and celebrate their idol adoration, boundless energy and love for the music that are the cornerstones of K-pop,” said Selena Ho, CEO, H.A.H. Entertainment.

“We’re thrilled to bring together an amazing line-up comprising a diverse variety of Korean music genres, from pop to rap, rock and more.

Besides the breadth of musical styles, we have a mix of acts from different generations catering to different fanbases. So, whether you’re a K-pop newbie or a long-time fan of a certain idol, our festival has something for everyone,” added Selena.

“As this is our second time participating in HPF, we’re beyond excited to continue our partnership with HallyuPopFest. We’re confident that the festival will be as spectacular as the first,” said CUBE Entertainment spokesperson.

Said spokesperson from PLEDIS Entertainment: “We’re thrilled to be a part of

HallyuPopFest this year, as the event brings together many in Southeast Asia to enjoy the music and performances of Korean artists.

Seeing as last year’s inaugural festival was a huge success, we are very much looking forward to participating this year.”

Every ticket gives festival goers access to two concert events per day - the afternoon Showcase that runs about 2 hours long, and the 3-hour Evening Concert where headliners will perform individual sets of at least 30 minutes each, making it a “concert within a concert”. For Category 1, 2 and 3 ticket holders who would like a more personal fan experience, they may opt for the HallyuPass for Artiste Engagement which gives them a once-in-a-lifetime interaction experience with an artiste performing that day.

BROOKLYN TV ANNOUNCEMENT K-Pop singer, BROOKLYN, has just announced a YouTube series entitled ‘BROOKLYN TV.’ Episode 1 is a special vlog showing BROOKLYN touring LA, Seoul, and Vancouver.
