[TRANS] 111113 K-POP Music Fest In Sydney Wows 20,000 Fans… Australia Is On Fire

’2011 K-POP Music Fest In Sydney’, the first large-scale Hallyu concert in the southern hemisphere, has successfully come to an end.

MBC held the concert at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney for 20,000 fans to commemorate its 50th anniversary, as well as ‘Korea-Australia Friendship Year’, as 2011 marks the 50th anniversary since Korea and Australia established diplomatic relations.

With Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany and Yuri as MCs, a total of 12 teams, including TVXQ, Girls’ Generation, KARA, SHINee, 2AM, CN BLUE, B2ST, 4 Minute, SISTAR, Secret, MBLAQ and miss A, came together to kick off the K-POP boom in the southern hemisphere. The groups performed their hit songs and took part in special performances during the three-hour concert and captivated their Australian fans.

4 Minute and miss A prepared a rendition of Australian pop sensation Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t get you out of my head’ while CN BLUE, B2ST’s Yo Seob and MBLAQ’s G.O. formed their own band.

2AM’s Jo Kwon and Changmin, 4 Minute’s Ga Yoon and SISTAR’s Hyorin showcased their vocal talent while Girls’ Generation and SHINee, forerunners of the K-POP boom, prepared a special dance performance.

Australian fans gathered in front of the ANZ Stadium from as early as six hours before the show and sang and danced to Korean songs, showing the strength of K-POP in Sydney.

Suzanne(17), a fan of Girls’ Generation, stated, “I’ve liked Girls’ Generation for two years now and it feels like a dream to be able to watch them perform in Sydney,” and “I will never forget today.”
