K-Pop Destinations: India Hosts K-Pop Festival In New Delhi This Weekend

Welcome to 'K-pop Destinations,' the series that helps readers travel across the world. We'll show you where hit shows and videos are filmed, where top performers are giving concerts, or where your favorite stars take their vacations. That way, the next time you take a vacation, you can make sure to incorporate a little K-pop travel into your getaway.

We already know the K-pop has made its way into the hearts and speakers of India. And now it's time for a festival to hit the country too. The weekend of November 28 and 29 is going to feature the greatest gathering of K-pop, Korean food, and Hallyu fandom that New Delhi has ever seen.

One of the coolest things about the festival is that it combines both the old and the new of Korea, which gets at the heart of what makes Korea such a fascinating and rich country. On one hand, the lineup has all of the elements that make K-pop the diverse and innovative entertainment scene that it is today. Each day will highlight a K-pop DJ and B-Boys, and modern K-pop will pumping through the pulse of the festival.

But the event will also showcase some of Korea's exports that date back centuries. Check out calligraphy demonstrations, masters practicing the historical (and super intimidating) art of taekwondo, and some acts that show off what the country's dance moves looked like before G-Dragon and Girls Generation took over the stages.

And don't forget about the contributions that K-pop has made to the fashion world - head to the Hanji Hanbok Fashion Show on Saturday night to check out both the stunning and colorful traditional Korean outfits as well as some of the newer provocative fashion that comes out of the country's music videos and red carpets.

After all that activity, you're probably going to be hungry. Don't worry! The event promises great portions of mouth-watering Korean food.

K-pop, bibimbap, Korean culture, and meeting fans as obsessed with Hallyu as you are. What more could you want? Check it out and let us know how it goes in the comments!
