HallyuPopFest kicks off its second round this year after it made its way in September last year. With an equally exciting line-up of artistes, the 2-day festival delights fans once again over a fun-filled weekend on 25 - 26 May 2019 at Singapore Indoor Stadium. From showcases to a grand red carpet and finally the concert itself, K-pop frenzies were taken on a wild ride as they indulged in the mega festival.

N.Flying, a rap-rock band under FNC Entertainment, started the party on Saturday night by belting out tracks such as 'How R U Today', 'Leave It', 'Rooftop', 'Spring Memories' and 'Flowerwork'. Fans were so thrilled that member Cha Hun even commented, "I am wearing earpieces, but I can hear you guys screaming in my ears."

After ending their segment with 'The Real', a surprise appearance was made by GWSN. The 7-member girl group performed 'Pinky Star' and 'Yolowa', and blew away the audience with their impressive English during their introductions.

Much to the enthusiasm of male fans, Oh My Girl took over the stage in their lovely red dresses. The WM Entertainment girl group performed hits like 'The Fifth Season', 'Liar Liar', 'Secret Garden', 'Real World' and 'Remember Me', even including a slower number 'Love Speed'.

The fourth performer was NU'EST, who graced Singapore as full-member five after six years. Regaining success after participating in survival program Produce 101, their appearance also marks Minhyun's return after Wanna One's separation.

Bringing fans down a nostalgic path with 'Hello', 'Love Paint' and 'Look (A Starlight Night)' to newer tracks like 'Bet Bet' and 'Segno', the Pledis Entertainment boy group proved that the wait for Singapore L.O.ㅅ.Es was worthwhile. The fans even sang a birthday song for Aron - he also hinted about meeting fans again soon on the very same stage!

It was time for some female power as Hyolyn continued the night with Paradise. Her two back-up dancers, whom she affectionately terms as her friends, came all the way from the U.S to Singapore for the first time to perform with her. Performing songs like 'See Sea', 'Goodbye' and 'Dally', Hyolyn even included a short but engaging SISTAR medley - 'Ma Boy' and 'Shake It'.

As Day 1 came to a close, the highly-anticipated WINNER made their way to the stage with deafening screams from INNERCIRCLE. The four boys from YG Entertainment immersed the fervent audience in an array of hits like 'Love Me Love Me', 'Empty', 'Everyday', 'Millions', not forgetting their latest release 'Ah Yeah' and finally ending off with their much-loved sensation 'Really Really'.

The most eagerly-anticipated K-pop music festival in the region, HallyuPopFest (HPF) returns this May for its second edition in Singapore. The best of Korean music and culture will converge at the electrifying K-pop extravaganza, which happens on the 25th and 26th of May 2019 at Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Globally acclaimed superstars SUPER JUNIOR, will be headlining the festival, along with wildly popular bands such as MONSTA X, NU’EST and WINNER. In this year’s edition, a new segment, HallyuTown will also debut. It will function as the main festival square where HallyuPopFest’s much-loved Red Carpet event will be held. HallyuTown will be open to the public offering a variety of Hallyu-related booths and activities featuring K-Food, K-Beauty and K-Lifestyle, as well as a dedicated Fan Support area for fans to show their love and support for their idols.
