The Boyz, AleXa, AB6IX, Jessi, and Cravity keep virtual concerts alive with K-pop SuperFest
The Boyz, Cravity, Momoland, Ailee, AB6IX, Jessi, and Golden Child are among the event's impressively long list of performers.
After over a year of zero live music, artists are finally announcing new concerts and rescheduled tour dates. However, online concerts aren’t completely over (thank god) and Joy Ruckus Club has announced that this Saturday, they will be hosting a virtual show that is set to be the first of its kind. K-pop SuperFest will be the largest K-pop concert targeting the genre’s ever-growing global audience to date—14 acts are slated to perform, including AleXa, Woo!Ah!, GWSN, Lovelyz, Golden Child, Cravity, Momoland, AB6IX, The Boyz, Ailee, Bloo, Jessi, Rain, and DJ Soda. AleXa and The Boyz’s Kevin Moon will be performing double duty, serving as hosts for the event as well.
Some of the biggest acts in K-pop today have taken advantage of virtual concerts since the pandemic began, but there has yet to be a concert featuring this many popular groups from this many different companies sharing one stage. And for the Joy Ruckus Club, SuperFest is as much about celebrating pan-Asian culture as it is about the music. In its mission statement, Joy Ruckus Club describes itself as “a humanitarian-oriented, virtual concert series, founded by Asian Americans, and led by artists of Asian descent from all over the world, Joy Ruckus Club is a revolution in pan-Asian music. Not silent, not complacent, not foreign, Joy Ruckus Club is a society of woke Asians who are in solidarity with all truthfully progressive movements of the oppressed and conquered.”
