On the afternoon of June 20, male singer G-Dragon, the legendary leader of the group BIGBANG, officially appeared at Incheon International Airport (Korea), departing for Vietnam to participate in a music festival held at My Dinh National Stadium (Hanoi) on June 21.
This event attracted special attention from fans and international media, not only because of its grand scale, but also because of the famous artists participating, especially the rare reunion between two leading icons of the Hallyu wave: G-Dragon and CL (2NE1).
G-Dragon attracted attention from the moment he appeared at the airport with his sophisticated fashion style. He wore an outfit with two main colors of red and yellow, the typical colors of the Vietnamese national flag. Although he did not make an official statement, the implicit message that the male artist sent through his outfit created a strong emotional wave in the Vietnamese online community. This small but symbolic action was quickly shared widely, as a friendly and respectful greeting to the fans of the host country.
Besides G-Dragon, female artist CL, known as the "big sister" of Kpop, was also on the flight to Vietnam at noon the same day. She is the former leader of 2NE1, a girl group that contributed to the peak of Kpop in the 2010s. Accompanying her and G-Dragon was the young group TEMPEST, one of the typical representatives of the new generation of Kpop idols. All three artists expressed their excitement and prepared carefully for this highly anticipated performance.
The simultaneous appearance of G-Dragon and CL in Vietnam is not just a performance. This is a rare event where two of the biggest icons of the Hallyu wave appear on the same stage in Southeast Asia, especially in Hanoi - a place that is not often included in the schedule of international tours. The fact that they chose Vietnam as the stop for their joint comeback has a special meaning, not only for fans but also for the entire music market in the region.
For a long time, countries such as Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia have been considered major centers on the Kpop performance map in Southeast Asia, regularly welcoming large-scale tours from top Korean names. However, recently, Vietnam - especially Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City - has gradually emerged as a new and potential destination for international music events. With large capacity, improved infrastructure and a passionate fan community, Vietnam has increasingly proven its ability to organize large-scale events, not inferior to the traditional "locomotives" of the region.
This music event is not only an opportunity for Vietnamese audiences to enjoy top-notch performances, but also a clear demonstration of the strong development potential of the domestic entertainment industry. This proves that Vietnam is no longer a "small market", but is gradually becoming an attractive destination, highly appreciated by international artists and organizers.
In particular, the event also reflects the shifting trend in the strategy of Korean entertainment companies: expanding the market beyond familiar centers, and searching for new destinations with large music consumption, large fan communities and youthful consumer culture, all of which are converging in Vietnam.
With the upcoming concert at My Dinh, the festive atmosphere has quickly spread among the fan community. On social media platforms, keywords related to the event, G-Dragon's outfit and CL's performance schedule are constantly in the top search results. Many people expect this to not only be an emotional night, but also open a new chapter for the Vietnamese entertainment industry where it can confidently organize international programs with a level not inferior to any country in the region.
