Read all about Kpopmap's exclusive coverage of the HallyuTown event that took place as a part of HallyuPopFest 2022 in London!
Eftychia Lianeri, Contributor

HallyuPopFest launched their flagship event back in 2018 in Singapore, and in 2022 they went global, visiting the English capital. The festival took place at the OVO Wembley Arena and spread out across two days.
The Hallyu wave, which literally translates to 'Korean wave', is a term many fans of the ever-growing popularity of Korean pop culture should be familiar with. HallyuPopFest was an electrifying celebration of this booming culture and music. Fans of K-Pop have been anticipating the event ever since they announced the impressive lineup of 14 highly praised music acts. From the now veteran members of EXO, Chen and Kai, as soloists, to newer groups such as Kep1er and Weeekly.
The area around OVO Wembley Arena was bustling with excitement from the late morning hours. Around that time, the audience gathered around the specially designed HallyuTown, a fair showcasing Korean products and selling merchandise. Everyone could enjoy it as it was open access, and even local passers-by could be initiated to unique Korean products.

However, most hardcore fans were lining up for the chance to pick up a precious Meet & Greet lanyard. Despite the mini heatwave, equipped with electric or makeshift fans, everyone withstood the sun and patiently waited for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to interact with artists they spent hours listening to and copying their choreographies.

Later that day, there was another chance to see the idols up close at the Red Carpet event. It gathered not only a massive crowd at the ground but also an audience of hundreds of thousands of viewers worldwide as it was streamed live. After walking down the Red Carpet, greeting the fans, and answering a few questions, the artists gathered moral support from the audience and returned inside to prepare for the main event. The concert was only a few hours away.
The charismatic Sam Kim opened the showcase with beloved songs, and to the artist's surprise, the crowd could follow them along word by word. His beautiful voice and ability to engage with the audience set the perfect grounds for performances to come. In between songs, the acts were dared to do fun challenges, from creating songs impromptu (that Sam Kim aced), to random dance covers that the first band to bless us on the stage, P1Harmony, hyped the crowd with. The 6-member group of P1Harmony, full of energy, performed some of their most famous songs, such as 'Do It Like This', while they reserved other songs like 'Follow Me' to perform when they reentered the stage during the main show. Despite being the openers and a relatively rookie group, they achieved what very few other acts could, sending the crowd into an absolute frenzy until the whole arena was shaking from everyone bouncing to their sound.

Clad in fitted black suits, ONEUS were in sparkling form. Contrasting to their elegant looks, their performances were fiery with eye-catching passionate choreographies. It was exciting to hear ONEUS' set with 'LUNA', a track that successfully interprets traditional Korean elements to its sound without forgetting the quintessential addictive and hard-hitting chorus.
Adored by the audience even before they appeared on the stage was EVERGLOW; their entry with the gloriously uplifting 'Adios' sent fans delirious. Predictably and deservedly, 'LA DI DA' and 'DUN DUN' managed to earn an even more wildly ecstatic response.
Taking the stage dressed in all black was JinJin & Rocky from ASTRO. With a leather jacket and thin mesh shirt in the case of Rocky and JinJin wearing a sleeveless jacket to reveal their chiseled bodies, they arguably earned the sexiest of the night award. Due to MJ and Cha EunWoo being unable to make it (MJ enlisted for his compulsory military training) and Cha EunWoo having conflicting schedules; ASTRO performed mostly as subunits. The second subunit combining cute cool and swagger was MoonBin & SanHa, who performed 'Bad Idea' and 'WHO'. Without letting the heat drain them, all 4 engaged in playful banter with AROHA (ASTRO's fandom). They closed their set with their only 4-member group performance, 'Candy Sugar Pop', as the name might indicate, a sweet and fun melodic straight-to-pop classics song.

The next act wasted no time showing off her excellence; with pink backlights surrounding her, MAMAMOO's HwaSa took center stage. Her presence alone was enough to wild up the thousands of fans anticipating this moment. Song after song and performance after performance effortlessly reaffirmed why she is often described as a queen by adoring K-Pop fans. Talented vocalist, imposing aura, incredibly catchy songs, but at the same time, songs that lyrically offer a rare human touch. All the above offer irrefutable proof that the 26-year-old is one of the strongest female soloists to come out of Kpop in the last few years. Who can refuse that 'Maria' isn't already a classic?
The night closed with EXO's Chen, a highly-anticipated performer, not only due to his talent but also due to the fact he is just fresh out of his 2-year departure for his mandatory military service. Chen gave a masterclass in ballad singing on the stage as one of K-Pop's strongest vocalists. With minimal staging and very stripped-down, it's impressive how he is able to convey the emotional gravity of each song, even to an audience that might not fully comprehend the lyrics due to a language barrier. Chen's songs and performance cut to the heart, which is very clear why he is one of the top picks for OST ballads of popular K-Dramas.

After a long, hot, ridiculously high-energy Day 1, it was time for Day 2. With temperatures still spiking, the mood in the arena is calmer; however, when Weeekly first appeared on stage, they offered the joyful tonic that the crowd was craving. Backed by dashing accompanying visuals, the song 'After Shool' was an absolute crowd-pleaser.
Paul Kim offered us a string of special moments with his flirtatious antics and smooth R&B vocals. The love was real, and it was most certainly reciprocated, with the entire arena chanting his name in excitement.
Laying the groundwork for what's coming next, CRAVITY entered with thunderous energy in a spotlessly choreographed intro and the song 'Adrenaline'. What quickly became apparent was the different energy they were ready to bring to the stage. The group was explosive, churning out banger after banger!
If all CIX did was perform their songs, it'd have been a great show, but we were treated to so much more. The members seemed to be at the height of their powers with magnificent dancing that makes everyone appreciate seeing them live, especially in 'Bad Dream' and 'Movie Star'.
CIX at HallyuTown (Kpopmap)
Bidding farewell to CIX, what followed was a slice of euphoria.
Kep1er debuted less than a year ago, but they already have an ardent fanbase attracting some of the loudest screams and singing throughout the night. The 9 girls were in high spirits from the beginning of their set with 'Wa Da Da' to the end; there can be no doubt that Kep1er maintained their status as monster rookies.
Even a technical issue during 'Good Guy' couldn't derail the excitement for SF9. They first carried out a flawless set of their familiar staples 'Tear Drop' and 'Now or Never'. Despite being known for their mature and sexy performances, they continued with slower songs that showcased their incredible vocal abilities. DaWon mentioned that he felt incredibly nervous about facing the UK audience; however, it was lovely to see how stoked the London crowd was to see the group perform. With only a few days away from their comeback (at the time), SF9, please keep the bangers coming!
The two headliners of Day 1 and Day 2 couldn't be more different. They are both members of EXO, but if Chen focuses on sentimental vocal deliveries, Kai has a dramatic performance-oriented presence. His star power is undisputed, it was hard to find a single person seated, and most fans rushed to get as close to the stage as possible to get a better view of his intricate routines. There can be a temptation to take the brilliance of Kai for granted, but through each stage, we're reminded exactly why we fell in love in with him in the first place. Kai, and his dancers, let different stories unfold through the medium of dance. It's almost like poetry seeing the 28-year-old man perform visually captivating performances with flawless technique.

What transpired at HallyuPopFest was two nights stockpiled with so many memorable moments, and whoever's idea it was to invite these artists deserves a medal. It was the perfect balance between ballad singers, some of the latest trendy groups, and respected seniors in K-Pop. A joyous long weekend and an event where the audience might have entered as fans of one artist or group but exited falling in love with multiple artists. It was everything we wanted and more; we hope we have similar events in the UK more often.

New to Sam Kim? Here are some of his songs that would make you fall in love with his soulful vocals and amazing discography.
Michael Albert, Kpopmap Editor
DIVE STUDIOS
If you have never heard of his songs then you have probably not listened to any K-Drama OST or Immortal song performances as he is literally in all of them. We exaggerate but, he clearly is one of the most sought-after K-Pop vocalists whose vocals have a grip on our imaginations as we are not just in a world of bliss with his sweet sound but also finding deep meaning in his message and emotions. His vocals are clear, filled with pain and hope, struggles and freedom, layered with more than enough textures that showcase his emotions, with his songs, he makes you feel, he makes you understand, he makes you reason, all the while serenading you with his amazing vocal tones.
Here are some of his songs and performances that you will enjoy.
This performance showed a young Sam Kim and his vibrant stage energy that the audience feeds off of. The slow build-up at the start led to the infusion of the jazzy sing-along rhythm that would make you, a viewer, bop your head to the beat. With intonations so clear, his harmonies are made even more beautiful, and the way he switches his tone with just a breath is something so special. Showing off his guitar skills, he makes this performance even more enjoyable, giving the same vibe one would feel on a night out with friends, enjoying good food and drinks at a jive bar.
One of the key charms of Sam Kim's voice is his ability to convey his emotions through his voice so seamlessly. Even without watching this music video, from his vocals, his intonations, and his melodies, you can tell or at least have an idea of what he is feeling when he sings every word.
His vocalization at the beginning sounds like something you'd imagine a siren sounding like. Soft yet so powerful, he doesn't show off his iconic range but even in this gentle tone, his vocals are still able to grip our minds. Conveying the emotions of the characters in this series. Their pain, the struggles, the love, and the solace they find in each other's arms. And just like the story characters, through this song, the listeners can find a sense of healing and comfort in his vocals.
Perhaps one of the best OSTs we have ever heard, Sam Kim held nothing back, vocally with this song and his sheer desire to make the listeners feel the emotions the characters felt in that moment. The song is so powerful that whenever it comes on, your mind takes you back to the series and scenes from it. Goosebumps all around, Sam Kim's vocal technique is a mastered art form as he is so unique in his sound. Owning his gift and using it with so much precision and clarity to communicate with his audience, he might just hum, and that would be enough for you to nod in an understanding of his message.
Just when you think Butter cannot get sweeter, Sam Kim adds his sugary vocals to it and you feel like "Oh, it can!". Definitely one of the best and most unique covers of the song we have heard. He doesn't just take the song and perform it as it is but he also adds his own flavors, switching up the tunes and melodies, and adding a bit of flair with his guitar strings too.
Sam Kim's voice sounds like something you would hear on vinyl. We have mentioned earlier that there are various layers to his vocals and in this song, his vocals have an old school to it that makes his song so comfortable to listen to. In this song he plays so much with his tone and rhythm, part of why it makes it so catchy and interesting to listen to. His vocal stability even when showcasing his impeccable range is quite amazing. This is a good feel song that one would definitely not get tired of listening, one that when it comes on randomly, your mood feels even brighter and better.
Listening to his song would be perfect for a date at the park staring at the beautiful sunset with your lover. With his vocals, Sam Kim makes even the simplest moments feel amazing. His voice is what the relationship guru recommended because it can put you in a space where you feel even more connected with your lover. With lyrics that are very relatable, he speaks of a young lover who tries to find out if his crush likes him or not. Zico's brilliant infusion of his rap verse was the perfect fit for this song. His flows were cool and tight, adding an extra element that elevated the feel of this music.
Oh, the vocal harmonies! It is very rare to see an artist who fully understands his own technique and is able to show off various concepts of his style without deviating from its core originality. Sam Kim's sound is truly one of a kind, his energy with his song is something that listeners can easily resonate with or feed off from. Fun and jovial, watching this video and seeing how in truly happy and in his element he looks, makes it even more endearing. We cannot ask where our money is because we have bet it all on Sam Kim one day becoming a global superstar.
