Block B, who recently made their comeback with their first mini-album, “New Kids on the Block“, has just revealed that they’ll be heading over to the Philippines on September 1st to represent Korea at the Mall of Asia.
The event is being held in celebration of ‘Visit Korea Year’ and will be hosted by “The Crossover: Miso & KPOP“; the event is actually part of a three-country tour, one of which is in the Philippines. This performance will be all the more meaningful, as it was also held to celebrate the opening of the Korean Culture Center.
As representatives of Korea, Block B will be giving performances on behalf of their fellow idols. The boys were chosen through a survey held by concert sponsors HS Media, who asked locals about which act they wanted to see the most.
As a special treat for their fans, Block B will be performing a new track from their mini-album for the very first time. In addition, the boys will also be performing alongside a traditional Korean performance group named MISO (美笑), a group who’s performed for over 650,000 people over the course of 14 years. The group will be introducing traditional instruments such as the kukak, dances, and folk tales like ‘Chunhyangjun’.
Block B will also be heading to Japan for a scheduled performance in September, followed by scheduled performances in Thailand and China in November.
