he fifth annual Asia Song Festival is going to take place on October 4 in Seoul’s Sangam World Cup Stadium. This year’s performers come from 8 countries in Asia: Korea: TVXQ, Shinee, Girls’ Generation Japan: w-inds, Berryz Kobo China: Anson Hu Taiwan: Fahrenheit Hong Kong: Karen Mok Thailand: Ice Vietnam: Ho Quynh Huong Philippines: Rivermaya Indonesia: Agnes Monica Hopefully, this event celebrating so many of Asia’s biggest pop stars won’t just turn into a regular ol’ DBSK concert since Cassiopeia occupied much of the seating at last year’s Asia Song Festival. But ah, imagine the crazy fandom-crossing possibilities — DBSK interacting with w-inds! w-inds interacting with Fahrenheit! Karen Mok complimenting a boy band! Don’t faint, people. Some past Asia Song Festival stars include Ayumi Hamasaki and Koda Kumi from Japan, F4 and A-Mei from Taiwan, Leon Lai and Kelly Chen from Hong Kong, Golf & Mike from Thailand, Peter Pan from Indonesia, BoA and Super Junior from Korea. This will be DBSK’s fifth consecutive year performing; they are the only artists who have performed at every single Asia Song Festival since the event’s inception in 2004. Credit: Seoul Beat
