BIGBANG Daesung's Coachella K-Trot Stage

Singer Daesung captivated fans worldwide by showcasing a K-trot stage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the world's largest music festival. Daesung performed as part of the full BIGBANG lineup at Coachella, held in Indio, California, on April 20th (Korean time), closing out the Outdoor Theatre stage.

In addition to BIGBANG's performance, Daesung also presented his solo songs "Hello" and "Look at Me, Gwisun." On the Coachella stage, where hip-hop and pop dominate, he heightened the atmosphere with trot music infused with Korean sentiment, creating an unprecedented performance. Notably, the Korean lyrics, presented clearly without English translation, served to solidify Daesung's presence.

With his powerful vocals and playful stage presence, Daesung turned the venue into a "K-Party" atmosphere. When international fans sang along to his solo song "Hello," Daesung expressed surprise, eliciting laughter. During the "Look at Me, Gwisun" performance, he shouted lyrics like "So sexy and cute, I want to bite you" in a mix of English and Korean, communicating joyfully with the audience.

Daesung's performance at Coachella, which garnered attention for its K-trot elements, is not an impromptu attempt but an extension of his performance style built over a long period. Since his solo activities in Japan, he has been praised for his unique performances combining trot and humor, establishing himself as an artist who creates "concerts to enjoy together." These strengths have continued through his domestic activities and last year's Asia tour, and at this Coachella stage, he shone with Daesung's unique performance style, breaking down barriers with the global audience.

Having successfully completed his first Coachella performance, which spanned two weeks, Daesung shared his thoughts through his agency, RND Company (D-Label). He stated, "There were many enjoyable moments, but above all, the fact that I could announce BIGBANG's new beginning resonated most deeply, and it was a time where I could feel many emotions personally." He also described this activity as a "​restart" and expressed his ambition to greet fans with even better performances in the future.
