Free Kwon Eunbi and Oneus Concert, Korean food, film and fashion at Dubai K-Fest — all you need to know

Dubai is set to host its own Korean culture festival, Dubai K-Fest, from 25 September to 4 October. The ten-day event will feature K-pop concerts, Korean films, K-beauty, fashion, food, shopping, and cultural showcases across various locations in the city, under the theme "Discover Korea in Dubai." The festival kicks off at Dubai Festival City Mall on 25 September with a free concert starting at 7:30pm.

The evening will open with the IMAGINE Show followed by a live concert headlined by South Korean solo artist Kwon Eunbi and boy band Oneus. Kwon Eunbi gained international recognition as a member of K-pop group IZ*ONE before embarking on a successful solo career. Oneus, known for their energetic performances, will make their debut on the global stage following the release of their 12th mini-album, FIRST LIGHT.

On 26 September, Korean dancers and choreographers AIKI and Choi Young-jun will present a free public event at Festival Bay, part of the festival's four pillars: Celebrate Korea, Shop Korea, Win Korea, and Taste Korea. These pillars cover various aspects of Korean culture, including movie nights, beauty and fashion discoveries, dining experiences, cultural showcases, city-wide shopping offers, and prizes.

The festival is not limited to a single venue or audience, as activities span across different locations and genres. Both opening concerts are free to attend, and fans can choose to return later in the week for additional film screenings or K-beauty pop-ups.
