Hello, welcome to the world's best K-pop music festival.

I'm Minho of SHINee,

and I'm the MC of Korean Music Wave.

Hello, this is Cho Bo Ah.

This is the third year of this huge Korean culture festival.

It's DMCF.

Among all of the events,

I'm sure today's event is the one getting the biggest spotlight.

That's right. It's the flower of DMCF,

and the most loved event globally.

It's Korean Music Wave.

It's our 10th year anniversary this time,

and it has proudly become the biggest Korean Wave concert.

A lot of audiences are here at...

Sangam Culture Square today.

I would love to say thank you to all of you who are here.

I would also want to thank the K-pop rookies who opened the stage...

with the theme, "Teenage of K-pop".

Please give them a huge round of applause again.

2018 Korean Music Wave...

contains a special message.

It's "Singing about Dreams".

K-pop and dreams! What a great chemistry.

- Right. - Before we go on,

I would love to know what your dream is, top K-pop star Minho.

This year is SHINee's 10th anniversary.

I'm so grateful about for the love we've been getting from fans.

We would love to be around for a long time...

and be loved. That's my dream.

What about you, Bo Ah?

I want to try my best to become a good actress,

and get a lot of love from people.

I'm also really curious about other K-pop artists' dreams.

I guess we'll find that out through their performances.

You'll meet the best K-pop artists at Korean Music Wave today.

First of all, you'll meet SHINHWA, the legendary K-pop group,

who made their debut 20 years ago.

You'll also meet SUNMI, the one-of-a-kind female solo artist.

The new Korean wave influencers,

TWICE and iKON!

You'll also meet Lovelyz and NCT.

All of the K-pop dream makers are here.

I agree. We'll meet...

girl groups that captivated a lot of fans around the world.

We watched the performances of bubbly BerryGood,

charismatic (G)I-DLE, and beautiful Chungha.

We just watched performances by powerful female singers.

Bo Ah, please tell us which performance awaits us next.

It's time for the girls' hearts to flutter away.

Boy groups that are leading the future of the Korean New Wave...

are waiting to perform next.

After listening to the introduction, I'm getting more excited.

Can you give us a few hints on their identities?

I'll give you a hint since it's you, Min Ho.

Thank you.

- Here's the first hint. - Okay.

It's a group with unique performances.

- Here's the second hint. - All right.

These are attractive guys who won over girls all over the world.

Here's the last hint.

They are energizers who spread the vibe of positivity on stage.

Can you guess who they are now?

I totally figured out who they are.

PENTAGON's songs climbed up the charts.

It's a dream come true for the group.

Also, they are irresistible singers. It's THE BOYZ.

All right. It doesn't end here.

The seven lucky guys who are singing for their dream and passion,

NCT DREAM is preparing to perform as well.

The performances of new rookies that will lead the Korean Wave's future.

- Let's check them out now. - Let's check them out.

- Go, NCT Dream! - Go, NCT Dream!

I guess there is a reason why so many people love these boy bands.

Their cool music and powerful performance.

It was fascinating.

Bo Ah, you seem really happy.

- Was that obvious? - Yes, it was.

By the way, Min Ho. SHINee is also famous for amazing performances.

Thank you for saying that.

As their senior, how would you score their performance?

Well, I'll be objective then.

I'll give them 200 points out of 100.

- 200 points? - Yes.

Why?

Many people in the world love K-Pop because of...

the artists' perfect performance.

Watching their performance today, I could see how much effort...

they must've put into it.

Yes. That's not all.

A special performance will surprise you later,

so please stay with us until the end.

("Blood Sweat and Tears", "Ko Ko Bop", and "Energetic" by Norazo)

(Norazo arranged the hit songs of BTS, Wanna One, and EXO,)

(Korea's best boy bands, in their own rock music style.)

("Blood Sweat and Tears", "Ko Ko Bop", and "Energetic" by Norazo)

Cider!

Guitar!

Everyone, make some noise!

K-pop is reborn as operatic pop and rock.

I never imagined it'd be possible.

You can only see these special performances...

on Korean Music Wave.

Norazo and the operatic pop group, Duetto, impressed us...

with shocking performances. Please give them a big hand.

As you know, the subtitle of the show is "Sing Your Dreams".

Personally, I think the title of this song...

is perfect for today's show.

Oh, which song?

It's "Dreams Come True" by WJSN.

My, that is perfect for the show.

Then I'd like to recommend this group.

Their first fan meeting recently held in Japan was a success,

which further solidified their position.

It's the hottest global girl group, Lovelyz.

- Let's meet them now. - Let's meet them.
