BoA, F(X), Super Junior and Other SM Entertainment’s stars in Hong Kong Dome Festival

SMTOWN fans in Hong Kong don’t need to wait until August for the SM Town Tour because their favorite SM artists will be coming to them earlier this summer to perform at the “Hong Kong Dome Festival 2014” on July 1. SM Entertainment’s stars before their SM Town tour in August will gather in Hong Kong as a warm-up before their tour.

In last year’s Hong Kong Dome festival,it was known that the line-up was also from SM entertainment. BoA, F(x) will be performing for 2 consecutive years,together with Super Junior M and EXO-K. Besides that, Tasty and Infinite’s Nam Woohyun plus SHINee Key’s unit group is also expected to join in the festival.

While the event drew a lot of controversy for staging on the same day as the annual pro-democracy protest in Hong Kong, the organizers are pushing through with the event as they did last year. According to Hong Kong’s PIA, the first staging of the Hong Kong Dome Festival featuring BoA, SHINee, f(x), Henry, and EXO gathered over 20,000 fans. However, because of strong winds and heavy rain, the fans who attended experienced a lot of inconvenience during the show.

About Kpop

K-pop, or Korean Pop, K-pop is a musical genre originating in South Korea but has spread across Asia (and now the rest of the world). It is characterized by a wide variety of audiovisual elements. Although it comprises all genres of "popular music" within South Korea, the term is more often used in a narrower sense to describe a modern form of South Korean pop music covering mostly dance-pop, pop ballad, electronic, rock, hip-hop, R&B, etc. Exponents of the genre have attracted a fanatical following in recent years, though western audiences could be forgiven for not being entirely au fait with K-pop until this year.

The movement has largely been driven by the internet with every wannabe artist in the world having a platform to showcase their abilities. Though instant stardom is not guaranteed, the internet has played a major role in the spread of the Korean Wave (which describes the rise of Korean music and entertainment business) and has unearthed many new stars.
