2023 K-pop Nation x Korea Music Festival was first announced on June 14 by the Korea Management Federation (KMF), which represents at least 350 Korean entertainment agencies. It will be the first K-pop stadium concert held in Poland.
“We will show the essence of an authentic K-pop concert to foreign K-pop fans,” said KMF chairman Yoo Jae-woong, per The Korea Herald. “Starting with ‘K-pop Nation,’ we want to host K-pop concerts overseas regularly. We are also currently planning diverse projects to support K-pop rookies in expanding their reach to foreign markets.”
Several K-pop artists including Epik High, Kang Daniel and CL are also set to visit Poland next month for the upcoming ‘K-pop Stars Festival’, which will be held in Warsaw from July 7 to 9. The three-day event will feature a line-up of 12 acts, several of which have yet to be revealed, as well as various attractions surrounding Korean food and culture.
