On May 21 at 7pm PST, Mountain View, CA is going to be
hopping with 10 of K-pop’s most popular idol groups. Hosted by Girls’
Generations’ Taeyeon and Tiffany at the Shoreline Amphitheater, the MBC Korean Music Wave in Google is sure to be a concert to remember. And here’s the best part: it’s free!
Word got out earlier this month through Osen and Star News that Girls’ Generation, TVXQ, Super Junior, KARA, SISTAR, MBLAQ, BEAST and the Wonder Girls all had a trip to Google Headquarters scheduled for the end of May. But while the concert was no secret because it had been reported that the performances would be broadcast live through YouTube and MBC from company headquarters, most assumed that it would be a private affair.
However, just yesterday Powerhouse confirmed that the concert will be open to the public, and revealed full details about the final artist line-up, time and location, with instructions for ticket acquisition. Tickets will be available on a first come-first served basis on their website starting May 12. (Their server is going to be crazy this Saturday!) Tickets to SM TOWN LIVE in Los Angeles, which will take place on May 20, are also currently available on their site.
This is the first time that a concert of this nature will be
broadcast live from a major internet portal like Google, proving once
again that the appeal of K-pop is not defined by continental borders. A
representative for the event stated, “After hearing the news that
Korean artists will be performing at the Google headquarters, curiosity
has peaked even among the local event organizers. I think that previous
performances by Korean artists were targeted towards Korean-Americans or
the Koreans living abroad, but this time its appeal will spread to all
fans of pop music in the US.”
If you can’t make it, don’t sweat it! The concert will be broadcast live via MBC’s YouTube channel and on the YouTube Presents. channel at the above mentioned date and time.
