(Wednesday, 23 August 2023) Wynn Macau, the world's leading luxury integrated resort operator, is pleased to bring HallyuPopFest to Macau for the first time, where some of the biggest names in K-pop will perform live on the Wynn Palace lawn. On 21 and 22 October, a wave of artistes, featuring headliners – NCT DREAM and SHINee alongside HYOLYN, KARD, Sam Kim, VERIVERY, Cherry Bullet, OMEGA X, H1-KEY and NINE to SIX – are slated to perform live at the world's first outdoor HallyuPopFest on the lawn of Wynn Palace.

A first-of-its-kind for Macau, Wynn will host HallyuPopFest Macau 2023 in partnership with AEG Presents Asia and H.A.H. Entertainment. The two-day bash in October promises to be an electrifying weekend to remember with a total of 10 star-studded acts taking to the stage on the Wynn Palace lawn. Headline act NCT DREAM will open the first night and SHINee will headline the second night. On both days, VIP guests are exclusively invited to attend glamorous Red Carpet events for up-close and personal encounters with their favorite artistes. Hi-Wave Meet & Greet events will also be held for fans to meet their K-pop idols. In true HallyuPopFest tradition and in celebration of Korean culture, visitors will have the chance to taste delicious K-Food and enjoy drinks, photo opportunities and activities at HallyuTown on the festive Wynn Palace lawn.

Ms. Linda Chen, President and Vice Chairman of the Board of Wynn Macau, Limited, said of the event: "Wynn is thrilled to stage the very first HallyuPopFest in Macau. Music tourism is on the rise around the world, and this annual K-pop festival has rapidly become a global sensation. By hosting major international music festivals such as these at Wynn Palace, our goal is to put Macau on the map as a top-tier destination for international events. Wynn will continue to play a proactive role in advancing Macau's tourism industry, promoting the integration of "Tourism + Events", contributing much more toward achieving moderately diversified economic development and boosting international visitation for Macau.

Adam Wilkes, AEG Presents Asia's President & CEO, shared his excitement, saying, "AEG Presents is excited and proud to be partnering with Wynn Palace to promote HallyuPopFest 2023 in Macau. The event has grown into a fan favourite around the world, and we are thrilled to be producing the very first outdoor version of the event on the brilliant Wynn Palace lawn. AEG Presents has promoted many major K-pop acts throughout the world, and now it is time to bring this great talent to Macau."

"Since the 2018 HallyuPopFest inaugural, we have journeyed across 3 continents - Asia, Europe and Australia. Over the five years, HallyuPopFest has hosted more than 300 Kpop Artistes, 71 million tweets globally and more than 70,000 fans have experienced the excitement of the Festival. The 5th Edition of HallyuPopFest is especially precious to me because it will be our first outdoor lawn version of HallyuPopFest and what better place than to be at the beautiful Wynn Palace. H.A.H. is honored to be in partnership with AEG Presents and Wynn Palace," said Selena Ho, HallyuPopFest Founder and CEO of H.A.H. Entertainment.
