(August 24, 2011, Hong Kong) – K-POP Boys in Power LIVE in Hong Kong 2011 was successfully held at AsiaWorld-Arena at 8 PM on August 24, 2011 (Wednesday). The 4 boy bands including 2AM, FTISLAND, CNBLUE and ZE:A dominated the stage at AsiaWorld-Arena! They performed their powerful songs with their energetic vocals and presented an unforgettable concert for every audience.
2AM, FTISLAND, CNBLUE and ZE:A, except Kwanghee and Dongjun, who arrived earlier for being the emcees for K-POP Girls in Love LIVE in HK 2011, landed Hong Kong on August 24 (Wednesday). All the members of the boy bands headed to the hotel and AsiaWorld-Arena to prepare for the unforgettable concert for the fans!
CNBLUE, one of the most promising bands in Korea, kicked off “K-POP Boys in Power LIVE in Hong Kong 2011” with “Intuition”, the title song of their first album. Their amazing performance rocked the stage and captivated the heart of every fan. The fans screamed for every move the handsome band members made! CNBLUE, who debuted as an indie band with extensive live show experiences, then sang their breath taking songs with tremendous verve, including “Love”, “Love Girl” and “Lie”. The perfect mix of guitar, bass, drum and vocal in the music of CNBLUE flamed the atmosphere! They finally managed to perform their signature song “One Time” to wrap up their marvelous performance!
ZE:A showed up after the fascinating performance from CNBLUE. They first dedicated their debut song “Mazeltov” to their fans to share their treasure memory. They performed “Hip Hop Medley” accompanied by their energetic dance to further heat up the stage. They then performed their heart-melting songs “Watch Out” and “My Only Wish”. They have adopted a more muscular image as compared to the cute and sweet image in their last concert in Hong Kong. After they finished singing “Here I am”, they showed their special gift to audiences in Hong Kong by singing our beloved Hong Kong idol Leslie Cheung’s sensational song “Heartless Sleep” (無心睡眠) in Cantonese and showed their drama talent by acting a well-known scene of “A Better Tomorrow” (英雄本色) to pay their tribute to Hong Kong’s culture! Every audience was stunned by it! Their relentless effort in introducing new elements in their performance is definitely the reason why they are loved by so many fans. They then performed “Heart for 2” as their last song. The fans and atmosphere were immediately heated up with ZE:A’s enthusiastic performance.
2AM was the next to show up on stage. They reveal their awesome perfect singing voices with their signature song “Can’t Let You Go Even I Die”. Although 2AM are brilliant at singing romantic songs, they want to show their other side to Hong Kong fans by preparing a special stage to perform – they prepared a powerful and energetic dance with the song “I’m Wrong” & “With or Without You! They continued to touch every soul of the fans with their affecting vocals in popular songs “You Wouldn’t Answer my Call” and “This Song”. The band was well known for its touching vocal but rarely made dance performance on stage before. Audiences in “K-POP Boys in Power LIVE in Hong Kong 2011” were lucky enough to have witnessed it!

FTISLAND was the last band to show up. They have just finished their concert few days ago in Korea. They continued to show their powerful and influential performance as in their concert! They turned the concert hall into a large rock stage as soon as they performed their first song “Wish”. The fans didn’t show any sign of tiring and continue to dance and chant with FTISLAND! FTISLAND then perform their greatest hit including “Bing Bing Bing”, “Hello Hello”, and “Love Love Love”. Lee Hong Ki, the vocal of FTISLAND, kept us his wild performance style. He ran along the whole walkway while he sang to have close contacts with the passionate fans. Their tireless performance leaded the atmosphere to its climax!
Following the great performance of yesterday, Kwanghee and Dongjun from ZE:A were again the emcees for the concert. They have done a perfect job in creating a perfect atmosphere for Hong Kong fans to enjoy a top-notched K-POP concert!
