EXO‘s Suho and SISTAR’s Hyolyn will perform in India for the K-Wave Festival 2024. The event is scheduled to take place in Mumbai and Bengaluru this October. This marks a significant moment for K-pop fans in India as Suho, a prominent member of EXO, makes his debut in the country, while Hyolyn returns for her first major performance since her online appearance in 2021.
K-Wave Festival 2024 Dates and Locations
The K-Wave Festival 2024, organized by Skillbox, will be held at two major cities in India. Mumbai will host the festival on October 18, 2024, followed by Bengaluru on October 20, 2024. This year’s festival is expected to draw significant attention and showcase the growing popularity of K-pop in India.
Suho’s Indian Debut and Hyolyn’s Return
Suho, the leader of the internationally acclaimed boy group EXO, is set to make his Indian debut at this festival. His appearance is being seen as a milestone for the Indian K-pop scene. According to a press statement, Suho’s visit marks the first time an artist from SM Entertainment will perform in India. This event is viewed as a new chapter for K-pop in the country, potentially opening doors for more SM Entertainment acts in the future.
Hyolyn, known for her work with SISTAR and her nickname “Summer Queen,” is returning to India after her online guest appearance at the KPOP India Contest 2021. Her participation in the festival is highly anticipated by fans who are eager to see her perform live on stage.
Impact on the Indian K-pop Scene
The K-Wave Festival aims to further popularize K-pop in India, a country with a rapidly growing fan base for the genre. Last year, the festival featured notable K-pop artists like Kim Woo Jin and the rookie girl group X. Additionally, international artists such as The Rose and Eric Nam performed at Lollapalooza India earlier this year, highlighting the increasing integration of K-pop into the Indian music scene.
Upcoming events also include GOT7’s BamBam, who will be holding his first fan-signing event in India on December 15, 2024. This continuous stream of K-pop events and performances reflects the genre’s expanding influence in India.
