K-pop Super Live, otherwise known as the Seoul Festa, is a renowned yearly live stream that has various artists from the K-pop industry performing their releases. What started as an effort by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to promote South Korea's tourism has now evolved into one of the most anticipated programs since the artists usually interact and perform on stage in a slightly informal manner as compared to award shows and music festivals.
The thrill and excitement that fans experience every year was not lacking in this year's K-pop Super Live. On April 30, 2023, a varied and exciting list of K-pop artists gathered for their performance at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul. From iKON to ENHYPEN, artists from various generations were present at the event, and the crowd of over 40,000 people naturally enjoyed and rejoiced at the same time.
