K-pop stars including Girls’ Generation, 2PM and BEAST captivated an audience of about 10,000 at a joint show at Bercy Stadium, one of the biggest concert venues in Paris.
Eight K-pop stars, who also included boyband SHINee and girl groups 4 Minute and SISTAR, performed on “Music Bank in Paris,” a music show produced and distributed by Korea Broadcasting System.
It was the second concert by K-pop stars in the French capital -- SM Town concert featuring musicians from SM Entertainment took the place at the Zenith of Paris in June last year.
Despite the cold weather in Paris, K-pop fans from all over Europe including Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom came to Paris to meet their Korean stars, according to reports.
Starting with U-KISS, the show lasted three hours, according to reports.
Girls’ Generation, which made its TV debut in the United States last week, highlighted the show with “The Boys.”
The group also appeared on a popular French talk show on Thursday, ahead of its first album release in Europe early next week.
The Music Bank show featuring K-pop stars in Paris will air on Feb. 18 in 72 countries through KBS World, an international broadcasting service provided by KBS.
