Gummy and K.Will Set to Headline Korea Season in UAE
Renowned South Korean vocalists Gummy and K.Will are set to grace the stage at the upcoming Korea Season event in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This cultural celebration, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, is part of the broader Korea360 initiative organized by South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
The Korea Season event will feature a variety of performances, including renditions of popular Korean drama soundtracks by Gummy and K.Will. Additionally, the fusion gugak group Queen will perform on both days, and will offer a modern twist on traditional Korean music.
Attendees can also immerse themselves in cultural experiences such as trying on hanbok (traditional Korean attire) and participating in Korean calligraphy sessions. The event will also reflect zones dedicated to K-pop exhibitions and promotional videos, providing a comprehensive glimpse into contemporary Korean entertainment.
Kim Hyun-jun, the ministry’s director general of international cultural affairs, expressed optimism about the initiative, stating that the event is expected to raise local interest in Korea360 and create opportunities to connect the popular culture of ‘hallyu’ (Korean wave) with those interested in Korean arts and culture.
He further emphasized that UAE Korea360, along with its counterpart in Indonesia, will serve as pivotal bases supporting Korean wave-related companies’ expansion into Middle Eastern and Asian markets.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
