Hot K-pop concerts Hong Kong fans can’t miss this summer
Exo’s upcoming Hong Kong shows may be sold out, but don’t despair, there’s plenty more K-pop fun on the way in July, with Monsta X and Wanna One coming to the city
Hong Kong may be sweltering in an unprecedented May heatwave, and things are about to get even hotter: some of South Korea’s biggest K-pop acts are coming to town.
In a triple treat for Hong Kong’s legions of K-pop fans, boy bands Exo, Monsta X and Wanna One are all headlining separate shows, and tickets are in hot demand – scalpers have reportedly been charging up to HK$11,000 for presale tickets to Exo’s shows.

Ticket prices may come at a premium, but many fans are willing to pay up for the chance to spend a night with their favourite K-pop idols.
Here are the three shows likely to be some of the biggest in Hong Kong this summer.
Exo
Exo launched their Elyxion tour at the end of last year and are making their way to Hong Kong this weekend for two sold-out shows before heading to Malaysia and ending the tour in Macau. The performances are sure to feature hits such as the dance-reggae track Ko Ko Bop from the group’s latest album, The War, released last summer. The album made its debut at No 87 on the US Billboard album charts last year and sold more than 1.6 million copies in South Korea.
