Singer Song Ga-in has completely captivated Vietnam with the power of K-Trot!
On May 16 at 7:30 PM (local time), Song Ga-in held her solo concert, “Gaindal The Chaoreuda,” at “The Grand Ho Tram” near Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Making a grand entrance with a flashy opening video, Song Ga-in kicked off the show with “Gain-ieora,” a song loved by many. She hyped up the crowd, saying, “The energy in Vietnam is truly amazing. I’m so grateful that not only Koreans but also many international fans have come all this way. I’ve prepared many stages for you, so I’ll give it my all!”
She then showcased the essence of authentic trot with hits like “Oneul Gachi Joeun Nal,” “Geomungo-ya,” and “Hanmaneun Daedonggang.” The highlight of the night was a collaboration with the traditional music group “BARAJI.” BARAJI brought the house down with their dynamic rhythms using traditional instruments like the jing, buk, janggu, and taepyeongso during their performance of “Muchwita.”
Through this special collaboration with BARAJI, Song Ga-in performed Namdo folk songs such as “Seongju-puri,” “Namwon Sanseong,” and “Jindo Arirang,” bringing the unique beauty and excitement of Korea to the stage and earning a standing ovation. This high-quality fusion of traditional music and trot perfectly demonstrated the expansion of K-content.
Toward the end of the concert, Song Ga-in sang “Bi Naerineun Gomoryeong” and “Omma Arirang,” offering deep comfort and nostalgia to Korean expats living abroad. The finale featured a “Trot Medley” (including “Gohyang-yeok” and “Cheongchun-eul Dollydao”), where the entire audience joined in a massive sing-along, proving the immense popularity of K-Trot in Vietnam.
Filling all 700 seats, Song Ga-in once again proved her strength as a “national representative singer.” The concert served as a special gift of home for Korean expats and left a lasting impression of the deep emotion and resonance of Korean trot on Vietnamese fans.
Adding to the excitement, members of her Korean fandom, AGAIN, traveled all the way to Vietnam to cheer her on. Song Ga-in also showed her incredible love for her fans by holding a surprise event, sharing gifts she had personally brought from Korea, creating unforgettable memories for everyone in attendance.
