Europe’s largest K-Pop festival will fully utilize The O2, from its 20,000-capacity main arena to the indigo at The O2, as well as a range of other locations across the campus.
A Fan Fest will offer fans a range of activities to immerse themselves in Korean culture. Fans can expect an array of the world’s biggest K-pop idols.
The inaugural Frankfurt event brought EXO’s Kai, Monsta X, ENHYPEN, NCT Dream, Mamamoo and more to the stage.
