The 'Asia Top Artist Festival' (ATA Festival), a premier event for K-pop enthusiasts, is gearing up to open ticket sales, sparking excitement among fans. With 'Hallyu pioneers' Kim Junsu and Kim Jaejoong announced as headliners, a competitive ticketing frenzy is anticipated.
According to the ATA Festival 2025 organizers, general ticket sales will begin at 6 PM on NOL Interpark. Tickets are priced at 176,000 KRW for a two-day pass (September 27-28) and 121,000 KRW for a single-day pass.
International K-pop fans can also purchase global tickets and hotel packages, allowing them to enjoy the festival with added convenience.
Last month, limited early bird tickets sold out swiftly, even before the headliners were revealed. Notably, tickets for DAY 2 (September 28) sold out within two minutes, highlighting the immense interest from K-pop fans. The upcoming general ticket sales are expected to be equally competitive.
On August 2, the ATA Festival organizers announced Kim Junsu and Kim Jaejoong as the headliners. Both artists, who debuted in 2003, are recognized for leading the first generation of K-pop Hallyu, garnering large fanbases both domestically and internationally, especially in Japan.
Kim Junsu will headline DAY 1. He is actively involved in musicals, music, and content creation. Currently, he is performing as Genie in the musical 'Aladdin' and received acclaim for a gala concert with actors from his agency, Palm Tree Island. In August, he will connect with global fans through a fan concert in Japan, reinforcing his status as a versatile artist.
DAY 2 headliner Kim Jaejoong expanded his musical repertoire with the EP 'Beauty in Chaos' in May, featuring rock sounds. He is actively participating in global activities, including an Asia tour and invitations to Japanese diplomatic events. Through his agency, iNKODE Entertainment, he is nurturing new talent and will appear as a master on Mnet's 'Boys Planet 2'. He also engages with fans through various shows like KBS 2TV's 'Fun-Staurant' and the web variety show 'Jae's Friends'.
The ATA Festival 2025 will be held on September 27-28 at Hangang Nanji Park in Mapo-gu, Seoul. In addition to K-pop performances, the festival will offer experiences in K-food, K-beauty, and K-fashion, celebrating various aspects of Hallyu culture.
