★ "NewJeans" appeared at "KCON" held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 2nd. presented the stage.
"KCON 2022 Saudi Arabia" will be held for two days, September 30th and October 1st. This is the second time the event has been held in the Middle East since 2016 (UAE), and it is said that more than 20,000 people visited the venue not only from Saudi Arabia but also from the Middle East.
NewJeans appeared on the second day of the performance. The members performed 3 songs, "Attention", which topped the Korean chart, "Hype Boy", and "Cookie".
NewJeans is a girl group that debuted from HYBE's label "Ador" in August this year. It is the first time for us to perform on stage overseas.
In the talk corner between performances, the members said, "I'm so happy", "We just debuted, so there are many things that we've never done before. It's also our first time to perform overseas, and it's our first KCON appearance. It's our first time coming to Saudi Arabia", "Here." To be honest, I was really nervous until I came to the stage.
On October 2nd, NewJeans made their first overseas stage at "KCON" held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
They performed 3 songs, "Attention", "Hype Boy", and "Cookie".
The 20,000 fans who filled the venue on these stages burst into excitement.
Not only the stage performance, but also the communication with the fans at the venue was perfect.
K-POP has been growing in popularity globally since the mid-2010s.
For Arab K-POP fans, it must have been a great thrill to welcome NewJeans, the cutting-edge girls in Korea, the home of K-POP, to the venue in Riyadh.
Arab young people were relatively late in the world in discovering the charm of K-POP music.
Whether you traveled from Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Malaysia, or Indonesia, or followed the course from the United States to Europe, the Arab world was a distant country.
Therefore, there was no choice but to connect with each other by scattered fans through SNS instead of crowds.
For them, it was "your K-POP in the mountains".
K-CON says it's been since 2016. NewJeans was added to it, which seems to be the best present (perhaps the Arab side requested it?).
There may be no other women's music that can release the most trendy image in the world today other than the stage of New Jeans. These guys are probably on the front lines.
The fans who filled the venue may have dreamed of their stage.
"There are kids who can put on such a fresh music stage in the same world as us."
It would be nothing but romantic that it came from a country at the end of Asia, rather than America or Europe.
