A K-Pop weekend to remember: The Pointe stages live Super Junior performance, Korea Village and dance shows

Immersive Korean music, food and cultural festival with dedicated fountain show from 14 to 16 October

Kicking off the outdoor season entertainment in style, The Pointe at Palm Jumeirah, the iconic waterfront leisure and shopping destination by Nakheel, hosted a K-Pop themed weekend of music, dance and culture, with a stunning fountain show from Thursday, 14 to Saturday, 16 October in partnership with Korean Tourism Organisation’s Dubai Office, Springs15.Com and Samyang.

Korea Village, in collaboration with Dubaibased Korean club, Choego Community, Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE) and Korean Cultural Centre in the UAE, brought Korea to The Pointe for the first time and will feature a wealth of Korean brands, products, authentic food and more. Open throughout the weekend from 4 pm to 10 pm at The Pointe’s entrance, just under the Monorail station, it became the perfect destination to experience the real Korea.

On Friday 15 October, The Pointe hosted a free, ticketed live performance from beloved South Korean boy band ‘Super Junior’, with band members Eunhyuk and Kyuhyun belting out their songs from 5:30 pm on the West promenade. See Korea’s favourite boy band performed hits such as ‘A Million Pieces’ and ‘You & I’’ by booking free standing tickets at Platinumlist.net.

Visitors got to enjoy a dinner with the show, featuring K-Pop dance performances and a dedicated Super Junior fountain show to end the magical night.

Omar Khoory, Chief Assets Officer at Nakheel, said: “The Pointe continues to celebrate a wealth of countries, cultures and musical talents through world-class shows and events, and we are delighted to add Korea and its music, food and traditions to our line-up of attractions for the outdoor entertainment season.”

Ms. Hyunsun Hong, Regional Director at Korea Tourism Organisation, said: “As travellers are unable to visit Korea at the moment, we are bringing Korea to Dubai by creating the Korea village featuring great activities and performances. Through this unique concept, we encourage residents to explore tourism in South Korea and visit the Korean Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, too. We want to give UAE residents a taste of everything they could enjoy in Korea and hope to welcome them to our country soon.”

While in town, Super Junior will also explore Palm Jumeirah and its iconic destinations such as The View and newly opened St. Regis Dubai, The Palm, both located in The Palm Tower.
