Scene & Heard: K-Pop NDP-style!

Story by JASMINE TEO

A gig on The Float @ Marina Bay with fireworks? No, it’s not the National Day Parade. Come Nov 23, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, SHINee (and more) will storm the floating stage at the SMTown Live Tour.

Fifty-eight. That’s how many K-pop artists will pack the stage for the SMTown concert at The Float @ Marina Bay. The list of acts includes K-pop giants Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, f(X), SHINee, EXO, TVXQ and the original K-pop queen, BoA. SM Entertainment’s stable of top stars won’t just sing and dance, okay? The four-hour spectacle will be embellished with flying stunts, pyrotechnics and fireworks. The venue can hold 18,000 screaming K-pop fans (compared to the Indoor Stadium’s 7,000). If you’re a K-diehard with the stamina of a marathoner, go for one of the 5,000 mosh-pit tickets to get as close as 3m from the stage to appreciate Choi Siwon’s fun pack (six-pack lah) in its full glory.

Tickets to SMTown Live Tour III in Singapore are available to OCBC cardmembers and Samsung mobile phone customers from Sept 29 to Oct 1, and the public on Oct 2. For details, go to www.runningintothesun.com.
