SBS Super Concert: 6 things you need to know about these K-pop acts

The annual SBS Super Concert has become one of the highlights of the K-pop calendar since the inaugural event in 2011. This year, the South Korean broadcasting company is setting up stage at Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Expo on July 6, after being held in Taipei last summer.

Here are six things you need to know about the concert.

1. Taeyeon shows off her latest material

Taeyeon performed in Hong Kong back in the days when she was part of the incredibly popular K-pop girl band Girls’ Generation, and later when she went solo. She has played solo concerts in 2017 and 2018. However, the upcoming concert will give her an opportunity to show off her latest material, including her new single Four Seasons and Blue, which were only released on March 24.

2. AB6IX are a hit

This will be AB6IX’s first Super Concert. The boy band members, whose name is an abbreviation of Absolute Six, were an instant hit in May, selling out tickets for their very own debut showcase within seconds and releasing EP album, “B: COMPLETE” the same day. Four of the five had previously been part of famous groups – Daehwi and Woojin were in Wanna One; and Youngmin and Donghyun were in MXM, a duo from Brand New Music Entertainment. AB6IX had their first hit within two weeks of their debut on The Show with their title track BREATHE, a song composed by Daehwi.
