Some of the biggest names in K-pop are coming together in Hong Kong for the SBS Super Concert after a similar show in Taipei, Taiwan last year.

On July 6, fans at AsiaWorld-Arena will screaming to the sounds of Exo, Taeyeon, Seventeen, Mamamoo, Winner and AB6IX.

If you want to see them live you’d better hurry because tickets are selling fast

Here’s an introduction to the artists performing at the SBS Super Concert.

Exo will be performing in Hong Kong on July 6.

One of South Korea’s biggest boy bands, Exo have racked up an endless stream of achievements since their 2012 debut.

Their fan club, Exo-L, has been treated to one of the most varied discographies in K-pop. There’s the pop bliss of Call Me Baby, the reggae-infused Ko Ko Bop, and the disco-meets-R&B vibe to Lucky One.

Taeyeon went from Girls’ Generation leader to solo star.

The former Girls’ Generation leader has built a solid career as a solo star and it’s no surprise that one of her latest tracks has been among of the most popular tracks in South Korea this year.

Taeyon’s solo career technically dates back to 2004, when she featured in The One’s You Bring Me Joy (Part 2). Over the years, she has built a solid resume as a ballad singer for Korean TV programmes, then her powerful vocals were brought front and centre on her 2015 solo debut, I.

Winner brought trop house into K-pop.

Sometimes you have to lose a member to become the “kings of summer”. For a couple of years, Winner traded on the interplay between Nam Tae-hyun’s rock leaning aesthetic and their larger devotion to hip hop. The resulting mix of genres brought forth underrated (but still pretty successful) classics such as Don’t Flirt and Baby Baby.

Seventeen

Seventeen landed on the K-pop scene in 2015 with one of the most delectable bass riffs ever in their debut single, Adore U, the brainchild of vocal leader Woozi, who has a knack for funkified pop. Their rookie years were defined by a deft blend of cute and sass, culminating in Pretty U. The theatricality of the performances for their third single felt like a school production put on by the biggest overachievers. It’s easy to see why they have reached K-pop’s upper echelons.

Expect amazing vocal feats when Mamamoo hit the stage in Hong Kong on July 6.

Mamamoo

It’s widely believed that the Mamamoo girls have some of the best voices in the business. Even Moonbyul, the resident rapper, can outmatch most other singers.

This fierce foursome are experts at complex vocal runs. Their choral prowess enables them to fit more snugly in retro concepts such as jazz and R&B.

AB6IX

Without a doubt, these rookies are beneficiaries of the success of Wanna One another boy band formed through a reality TV competition. Members Lee Dae-hwi and Park Wooijin made it to the final roster of the Produce 101 competition show, and the outfit they joined, I.O.I. reigned as one of South Korea’s top groups before their built-in disbandment last December. But this five-member ensemble are doing more than just capitalising on the success of I.O.I.

Their debut single Breathe reached No 79 on Korea’s Gaon Music Chart. Dae-hwi co-wrote the track, along with four other songs on their EP, B Complete. He’s also written songs for Yoon Ji-sung, Park Ji-hoon, and IZ*ONE.
