MANILA, Philippines - From the success of All Access Productions’ Dream KPOP Fantasy Concert held last January at the Mall of Asia (MOA) open grounds, the team now ventures into another promising concert event titled KPOP Republic.
The concert will feature three of the top Korean Pop Idols: SHINee, EXO-K and Dal Shabet. Each group has proven a strong following not just from its adoring Filipino fans but also across the world, garnering followers from Asia, the UK and the US.
SHINee is a South Korean contemporary R&B boy group under the management of SM Entertainment. Formed in 2008, the group, composed of Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin, is known in the Philippines for such hits as Ring Ding Dong, Lucifer and Dream Girl. It’s one of the few KPOP groups in the Philippines to receive No. 1 spot in digital charts.
EXO-K, the Korean half of the 12- member group, is composed of Suho, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O, Kai and Sehun. The group received numerous newcomer awards in 2012, and has since won over 20 awards since its debut.
EXO is dubbed as the next Super Junior phenomenon to hit the Philippines.
Dal Shabet is a South Korean girl group under Happy Face Entertainment. The members include Serri, Ah Young, Jiyul, Woohee, GaEun and Subin. They are followed by Darling, the name of their exclusive fan club.
Members of Dal Shabet also are active as hosts and actors in Korean dramas.
KPOP Republic will also feature Soo-Min of April Kiss, a six-member girl group, and Crispi Crunch, a Korean Hip-Hop duo, who will be the opening acts of KPOP Republic. It’s a first for Crispi Crunch and Soo-Min to perform on the Philippine stage.
Catch the top KPOP acts on Sept. 7 at the SMART Araneta Coliseum. Tickets are available via Ticketnet and Ticket Online.
