Putting Macau as a top destination for K-pop events
HallyuPopFest is a music festival featuring some of the biggest names in the K-pop scene. The first two editions were held in Singapore in 2018 and 2019 respectively. It came to a halt due to the pandemic but returned last year—bigger than ever. They expanded outside of Asia and held editions in London and Sydney.
Macau is no stranger to hosting K-pop events. Earlier this year, BLACKPINK performed two sold-out shows in Galaxy Macau. Celebrities such as Lee Je-hoon and Jung Hae-in will hold fan meetings in the city. Epik High and Got7’s BamBam will also be making a stop in Macau for their concerts. As such, the choice to host HallyuPopFest in the city is not surprising.
Wynn Macau’s president and vice chairman Linda Chen said that “music tourism is on the rise around the world. HallyuPopFest is just one of the major K-pop festivals around the world. The end goal is to put Macau on the map as a top-tier destination for international events”.
