Cheers from fans filled the venue at K-Life & K-Live Indonesia: HUG K-Pop Concert, held on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at NICE PIK2. One of the most anticipated moments of the night came when Minho of SHINee took the stage and successfully electrified the audience with his powerful performance.
The concert was organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea, in collaboration with the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia. Thousands of attendees packed the venue and immersed themselves in the excitement from the beginning to the end of the event.
Minho opened his set with “Call Back,” immediately met with thunderous cheers from SHINee World (Shawol). “How are you? I’m very happy to be back performing in Jakarta, Indonesia after such a long time,” Minho said, expressing his surprise at the large number of fans in attendance.
“So many Shawol are here today. I’ll give my best performance until the very end. How do you like the first song from my album, Call Back?” he continued, prompting an enthusiastic response from the crowd. He then went on to perform several of his popular tracks, including “Affection,” “Runaway,” “Round Kick,” and “Something About U.”
The excitement grew as Minho addressed the audience once again. “Is everyone having fun? Let me hear you! Earlier we had two songs, Runaway and Affection. Thanks to all your cheers, I feel even more energized. Thank you,” he said. Before closing his set with his latest song, “Tempo,” Minho sent fans into a frenzy by taking off his jacket on stage. “It’s hot, so I’ll take off my jacket,” he joked with a smile.
Adding to the night’s highlights, Lullaboy delivered a warm and interactive performance. While singing “3 New Words,” he invited a lucky fan to join him on stage and sing together, creating a memorable and heartfelt moment.
Meanwhile, Tiara Andini captivated the audience with her emotional performance, delivering her hit songs “Gemintang Hatiku” and “Kupu-Kupu,” which had the crowd singing along.
The concert concluded with an energetic performance by Highlight, who performed both new tracks and their well-loved hits, turning the finale into a nostalgic moment for longtime fans.
Beyond the main performances, visitors also enjoyed various B2C (Business-to-Consumer) experience zones and interactive activities throughout the NICE PIK2 area. Participating K-Brand exhibitors showcased their featured products in the Content, Living, Beauty, and Food categories, previously introduced at the 2025 KOREA 360 Brand Show.
The night ended with a farewell session on stage featuring all performers—Tiara Andini, Lullaboy, Minho of SHINee, and Highlight—leaving a lasting impression on the audience. Through the HUG K-Pop Concert, KOCCA Indonesia hopes to continue encouraging positive cultural exchange and strengthening creative collaboration between Korea and Indonesia.
