Yesung and Choi Siwon from Super Junior also struck a pose with TVXQ’s Yunho, while Red Velvet’s Seulgi showed off her enthusiasm, as she returned from Pyongyang, North Korea after the historic series of concerts that were held there earlier this week.
The SMTown Live World Tour VI will see a total of 13 acts taking to the stage, including Exo, NCT U, NCT Dream, SHINee, Kangta, Henry and BoA.
This is the first time Dubai has been added to the massive K-Pop world tour series. Although the city has borne witness to K-Pop mania when Exo headed to Dubai earlier this year and went on to become the first K-pop artists to have a song featured on The Dubai Fountain show’s star-studded playlist.
Friday’s Dubai gig will include four hours of performances by the artists, as well as musical collaborations and an exclusive EDM section. Tickets for the concert are on sale, starting at Dh375.
