At first, KPOP NATION announced only some of the artists, and over time – heating up the atmosphere – more bands were revealed. We now know the entire lineup that will appear in Poland. Three girl bands and five boy bands will perform at the festival.
Who will perform at KPOP NATION? The line-up is as follows
- MONSTA X (Shownu & Hyungwon’s sub-unit). This is the first official sub-unit of this band. Shownu and Hyungwon released their first mini-album titled “THE UNSEEN” on July 25, 2023. The song “Love Me a Little” became the single.
- (G)I-DLE is a girl group from Cube Entertainment. The girls debuted in May 2018 with the mini-album “I Am”. They are known for bold song lyrics and pushing boundaries. Their biggest hits include: “Oh my god”, “Queencard”, “TOMBOY” and “Nxde” inspired by burlesque and Marilyn Monroe.
- SF9 (consisting of Da Won, Zu Ho, Tae Yang, Hwi Young, CHANI). The band debuted in October 2016 under the label FNC Entertainment. This will be their second visit to Poland, because in May 2019, SF9 performed at Progresja in Warsaw as part of the “UNLIMITED” tour. Their famous singles include songs such as: “O Sole Mio”, “Summer Breeze”, “Good Guy” and “MAMMA MIA”.
- ZEROBASEONE – a band created as part of the survival reality show Boys Planet. They debuted on July 10, 2023 with the mini-album “Youth in the Shade”. Their debut album officially became the best-selling debut album by a Korean group/duo in history, breaking the 31-year-old record held by Seo Taiji and Boys.
- CIX – a five-person group that debuted in July 2019 with the EP “Hello Chapter 1: Hello, Stranger”. This will be the band’s second concert in Poland this year. On January 15, CIX performed in Warsaw as part of the “Save me, Kill me” world tour.
- KEP1ER – a girl group created as part of the survival program Girls Planet 999. The band debuted on January 3, 2022 with the mini-album “FIRST IMPACT” with the single “WA DA DA”.
- MAMAMOO+ (Solar & Moonbyul duo). The duo consists of a rapper and the vocalist of the band MAMAMOO. Before their official debut as a unit, the girls had already performed together on stage, e.g. in 2015 in the program “Two Yoo Project Sugar Man” by JTBC. They officially debuted as a sub-unit in August 2022 with the single “Better”.
- THE BOYZ – the group debuted in December 2017 with the mini-album “The First”. The team won the “Road to Kingdom” program in June 2020. Their victory was guaranteed by their performance of “Checkmate”. The victory was a ticket to the “KINGDOM: Legendary War” program, but this time the group failed to win the show. The group’s latest single is “Lip Gloss” from the album “[PHANTASY] Pt.1 Christmas In August”.
KPOP NATION literally means community, i.e. fans of KPOP, which was born as Korean popular music and grew up with global fandom. This is the main goal of KPOP NATION – to build a place where KPOP fans from all over the world can share their passion and communicate with artists. Tickets for KPOP NATION are still available for sale.
