BamBam's performances are entertaining due to his fluid and dynamic dance moves and melodious singing. Most songs on his solo albums, Ribbon (2021) and B (2022), are upbeat and easy listening. His upcoming album, Sour & Sweet will be released on March 28 and it is possible that Thai fans will get to hear a part of it.

This five-member girl group is popular among Thai fans because there is a Thai singer, Minnie, in the group. The group stands out from other girl groups because three members -- Soyeon, Minnie and Yuqi -- wrote their own songs including Tomboy, Latata and HANN. Tomboy is the most popular track with lyrics that reflect a feminist attitude. The song is also a must-see live performance at the concert.
iKon
iKon is well known for its addictive chart-topping songs as well as its high-energy stage presence. Be ready to sing Love Scenario and Killing Me along with them.
