SINGAPORE : Kpop fans in Singapore are in for a musical treat come December.

Some of the top names in the Korean music scene such as rock band FT Island and the all-girl quartet Brown Eyed Girls are headed to Fort Canning Park for the inaugural Sundown Festival Seoul-d Out event.

Come rain or shine, the one-night only event will go on and is set to last a good four hours so Kpop fans will be set to get their fill.

The Sundown Festival Seoul-d Out also has on the line-up, pop trio T-Max. For those who may not be aware, these are the voices behind ‘Paradise’ one of the theme songs on the popular Korean drama "Boys Over Flowers". Incidentally, one member of T-Max, resident rapper Kim Joon, also starred in the drama.

Other musical guests lined up for the December 12 event include solo acts by rapper Mario, singer Lee Ji Su.

Look out as well for some diverse fringe acts, such as the percussion performance by Korean musical MISO, a hip-hop dance routine by B-boy group Rivers Crew and a painting-cum-acting stint by Drawing Show.

Aside from music acts, those attending Seoul-d Out can also indulge in authentic Dong Dae Mun street fare such as rice cakes and barbecued meals at the food village that will be set up alongside the main stage. - CNA
