Girls' Generation to perform at the 'K-POP Nation Concert in Macao 2012'

On July 2nd 2012 at 8PM (GMT-8), Girls’ Generation, together with SHINee, B.A.P, and U-KISS, will be performing at the “K-POP Nation Concert in Macao 2012”. It will be held at the Cotai Arena situated within the Venetian Hotel. The Cotai Arena is known for hosting the Mnet Asian Music Awards back in 2010, and it can be occupied by roughly 15,000 people. Many famous artists have performed on this stage, such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, Rain and Super Junior. It becomes a “dream stage” for many artists around the world. “K-POP Nation Concert in Macao 2012” is a special concert as it will not only showcase performances by each artist, but it will also include stories that have never been shared before at any other concert. Tickets for the concert have been on sale since May 31st, and can be purchased via the Cotai Ticketing site. Purchasing tickets has always been a difficult task due to the overwhelming amount of people who wish to attend the event. DMB Media, the co-organizer of the concert, has stated that even though “the tickets were sold through an overseas website, both domestic and overseas fans made telephone inquiries and the service became paralyzed after the ticket sale opened.” A representative from MBC Plus Media also revealed that they were “surprised by the domestic and overseas fans" reactions. Driven by the support from fans, the stars are working hard to create great performances.” With only a month left until the concert date, tickets are selling out fast. Hong Kong’s Beneco Asia will be collaborating with Korea’s MBC Plus Media to do a re-run of all the concert footage after it is has been completed. Many channels in Asia, including Korea’s MBC Plus Media channel, China’s CCTV, and Hong Kong’s Now TV, will be broadcasting the performances, and fans that are unable to attend will be able to have the opportunity to relive the concert in the comforts of their own home. By having some of Korea’s hallyu artists to perform at the Cotai Arena, Beneco Asia believes it will promote the uniqueness of K-Pop as well as the Korean culture.
