SBS Super Concert 2019 is a collaboration between Koreans and foreign individuals from around the world to promote tourism in the beautiful province of Gwangju. The concert experience may have been short, but it sparked so much memories for everyone.

Three-member girl group CAMILLA opened the show with their song ‘Red Lips’ followed by the warm speeches and welcoming remarks by the Mayor of Gwangju and the KTO President. The program proper started with CHERRY BULLET who performed their song “QNA” through energetic dance moves and cool choreography; NATURE staged ‘Some’ and ‘Dream About U’ in their pinkish and sparkly dresses; THE BOYZ performed their comeback song ‘Bloom Bloom’ with unique stunts and powerful choreography, followed by the rookies that started off with IZ*ONE in their sweet but powerful voice singing ‘Violetá’ and TXT who showed the crowd the promotional tracks of their debut album, ‘Crown’ and ‘Cat & Dog’. There was a time to just chill and enjoy NFLYING’s performance with their new songs, ‘Spring Memories’ and ‘Rooftop.’ MOMOLAND also hit the floor with ‘I’m So Hot’ and their hit single, ‘Boom Boom’, that made the audience dance on their seats.

The mood was changed when Trot singer HONG JIN YOUNG showcased an EDM remix of her songs, ‘Love Battery’ and ‘Tonight.’ Next, nine amazing girls conquered the stage and it’s TWICE. They sang their new single, ‘Fancy.’ along with ‘Yes Or Yes’ and ‘Dance the Night Away,’ which hyped up the crowd – majority of which are gentlemen. Finally, the group that most of the concertgoers looked forward to, BTS, conquered the stage with their record-breaking song, ‘Boy With Luv.’ They also performed DNA, as well as one of the tracks from their latest mini album, Map of the Soul: PERSONA, entitled ‘Make It Right’ which made the fans sway their way with the jazzy feel. BTS ended their stage with power through ‘Idol’.

Each performer hyped up their fans by waving at them and speaking in different languages to acknowledge all everyone who came a long way to be able to attend the show. They also played a game called Dance Challenge wherein the idols have to act cute, sexy or crazy while dancing. Time really passed by quickly while you’re enjoying every bit of the concert experience but it engraved wonderful memories at the end of the day.

Our gratitude goes to KTO, City of Gwangju, SBS and all the sponsors who made the gathering of these well-known idols, possible to be experienced by fans across many borders. We will be looking forward to the success of Gwangju 2019 FINA World Championships.
