The fan clubs have brought to the festival, which opened on April 3, their hand-made products featuring their love for their idols, original CDs with signatures of the singers on the covers, posters, stickers of their favourite bands.
The highlight of the week-long event is a music gala scheduled on the evening of April 10, in which the FCs will show off their dancing skills and compete for tickets to join the qualification round of the K-Pop World Competition in the Republic of Korea this year.
A similar festival will be held in Ho Chi Minh City from April 22 to 24. The two events are expected to attract around 10,000 participants.
The festival has been held annually since 2013 by the Korean Cultural Centre in Vietnam (KCC) in co-ordination with the Republic of Korea’s Administration of Tourism with an aim to connect K-pop fan clubs in Vietnam.
According to KCC Director Park Nark Jong, throughout its four editions, the festival has provided a colouful and dynamic venue for K-pop lover communities.
He expressed his hope that the event would fulfill its mission of uniting Vietnamese K-pop fans, thus contributing to boosting cultural exchanges between Vietnamese and younger RoK generations.
