‘2026 Busan Wonasia Festival (BOF)’ Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary With an All-Time Best Lineup… AKMU, Haechan, and Evan Join

“2026 Busan Wonasia Festival (BOF) with NOL,” the largest Hallyu festival in Asia hosted by Busan Metropolitan City, is drawing global K-pop fans’ attention as it marks its 10th anniversary by unveiling a powerful lineup of additional acts.

■ AKMU, Haechan, and Evan join in… a dazzling feast spanning multiple genres

According to Busan City on the 6th, the 이번 ‘Big- Concert (BIG-CONCERT)’ will feature AKMU (AKMU), Haechan (NCT), and Evan (EVAN) newly joining the lineup. This added roster is interpreted as a strategy to break away from an idol-centered configuration, secure genre diversity such as hip-hop, R&B, and folk, and increase the weight and impact of the 10th-anniversary performance.

• Day 1 (June 27): The sibling duo AKMU, known for unparalleled musicality, and Haechan, a key member of NCT, will take the stage back-to-back, delivering explosive vocals and performances.

• Day 2 (June 28): Sensational vocalist Evan will appear, previewing an emotional stage that adds to the mood of a midsummer night.

■ “Audience-centered” premium stage… plenty of things to enjoy, including pop-up zones

This year, BOF is attempting a quality-driven innovation to celebrate its 10th anniversary. To raise audience density and on-site immediacy, standing seats have been expanded significantly, and the plan is to introduce three-dimensional stage production using advanced technology to create an immersive performance where artists and fans become one.

The festival’s operations will also be improved. For audience convenience, entry times will be moved up to 1:00 PM, and various brand pop-up zones (Pop-up Zone) will be installed around Busan Asiad Main Stadium and the skyway area—offering more than just watching a show, with a venue for a multifaceted cultural experience.

■ Discussing the future of K-content… event add-ons and ticketing information

A talk concert will also be held to add academic depth to the festival. On the 9th of next month at 2:00 PM, at the Busan Port International Exhibition & Convention Center, a session will be prepared where experts and fans communicate under the theme “Ten Million K-pop Fandom, Let’s Talk About Busan K-content,” highlighting Busan’s competitiveness in content.

Meanwhile, official ticket sales for “2026 BOF” begin exclusively at 8:00 PM on the 12th through the NOL and NOL ticket platforms. With this 10th-anniversary concert featuring top-tier artist lineups alongside infrastructure improvements, a fierce ticketing battle among fans worldwide is expected.
