P-Pop girl group KAIA brought its energy to the international stage after joining South Korean girl group EVERGLOW for a special performance at the 2026 ASEAN-Korea ROUND Music Festival in Incheon, South Korea.
Held on November 7–8 at Namdong Gymnasium, the festival gathered artists from South Korea and ASEAN member countries to celebrate music, cultural diversity, and regional collaboration.
One of the highlights of the event was KAIA's collaboration with EVERGLOW, where the Filipino group joined the K-Pop act in performing its hit song "DUN DUN."
Composed of Angela, Charice, Sophia, Alexa, and Charlotte, KAIA showcased its dynamic stage presence and performance skills before an international audience, highlighting the growing opportunities for P-Pop acts to share the spotlight with established artists in the Asian music industry.
The collaboration marked another milestone in KAIA's international journey, following its recent participation in Music Matters Live 2026 in Singapore and other regional music engagements.
Organized by Korean public broadcaster KBS, the ROUND Festival serves as a platform for artists across ASEAN and South Korea to connect through music and explore opportunities for cross-cultural collaboration.
KAIA's participation also follows the successful hosting of ROUND Festival Philippines 2026, held April 18–19 at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
The performances from the South Korean festival are scheduled for a global broadcast on KBS in December 2026, giving KAIA another opportunity to introduce its music to audiences beyond the Philippines.
With P-Pop continuing to expand its reach, KAIA's appearance in Incheon adds to the growing presence of Filipino artists in the regional music scene.
