On the 28th, the 'Asia Top Artist Festival 2025' (ATA Festival) took place at the Youth Square in Hangang Nanji Park, Mapo-gu, Seoul. The headliner for the event was singer Kim Jaejoong, with The Boyz and Tours as sub-headliners. Other performers included Ha Sungwoon, Cravity, QWEAR, Fifty Fifty, 82Major, Eunice, and Bad Villain.
New Beat kicked off the stage with 'Flip the Coin.' After their opening performance, Minseok expressed, "New Beat is here at the Asia Top Festival," with a smile. He added, "It's our second performance at Nanji Hangang Park, and I'm both excited and nervous. I hope you find us endearing."
Minseok humorously noted, "It was raining heavily before we went on stage, but as soon as we stepped up, the rain stopped as if by magic. New Beat is the weather fairy." Following this, New Beat took on a special mission by performing the 'Famous' challenge by the group All Day Project.
For their final song, 'We are Young,' New Beat encouraged audience participation. Yeoyeong urged, "Shout 'We are Young!' along with the song. Let's create the stage together with New Beat."
The 'ATA Festival' is an event that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, featuring a diverse lineup of artists. On the first day of the festival, artists such as Kim Junsu, Jannabi, Peppertones, Lee Mujin, 10cm, Hwang Garam, Park Hyewon, Kyungseo, High-key, and Say My Name took the stage.
The festival venue, Nanji Hangang Park, offers convenient access with a free shuttle bus service running between DMC (Digital Media City Station) and the venue. The buses operate from 9 AM to 10 PM, providing easy transportation between the DMC exits 2 and 8, Saenuri Children's Park, and the ticket zone near the venue.
