SBS's flagship music program 'Inkigayo' has opened a new horizon for live music broadcasting through its special performance project, 'Inkigayo ON THE GO'.
Held successfully on the 26th at Paradise City in Incheon, 'Inkigayo ON THE GO' introduced a new concept that breaks away from the traditional studio format to go directly to where the fans are. The performance was broadcast live not only domestically but also in Japan, delivering the intense energy of the venue to global K-POP fans in real-time.
Under the steady hosting of 'Inkigayo' MCs 'O-YES' EJ, SHINYU, and Yihyun, a spectacular lineup of artists including TOMORROW X TOGETHER, LE SSERAFIM, KISS OF LIFE, NCT WISH, CORTIS, &TEAM, and Kim Jae-hwan filled the stage.
Starting with Kim Jae-hwan's sweet opening, followed by CORTIS's sensory stage and &TEAM's high-quality performance, the energy at the venue continued to rise. Additionally, the refreshing charm of NCT WISH and the confident, sophisticated performance of LE SSERAFIM drew explosive cheers from the fans. TOMORROW X TOGETHER brought the grand finale to the show, delivering a deep and moving performance.
The Paradise City Plaza, where this performance was held, narrowed the distance between the stage and the audience, maximizing the vivid sense of presence where artists and fans could breathe together. This provided an immersive experience that was difficult to feel in traditional music broadcasts, proving the potential for the expansion of 'on-site K-POP content'.
With 'Inkigayo ON THE GO' having taken its first successful step, attention is now focused on what new spaces it will visit to meet fans and continue the heat of K-POP.
