About 30,000 people filled Seoul Plaza for the Summer K-pop Festival on Aug. 4 in front of the old Seoul City Hall building.
Global sensation Psy's show was the highlight of the event, which featured a total of 31 bands. Having held a free concert at the same venue in 2012, he brought the crowd to its feet as soon as he showed up on stage. He said that during his show everyone should jump up and enjoy the music. He then performed three of his hits -- “Entertainer,” “Gentleman” and "Gangnam Style” -- letting the whole audience, both Korean and non-Korean fans alike, dance and sing together.
Expatriates and international tourists at the event sang along with their pop stars, shouting with joy and taking photos while enjoying the four-hour show.
