What Can Fans Expect at HYBE CINE FEST?

The festival features several different types of cinema experiences rather than a single program.

HYBE CHEERING PARTY

The HYBE CHEERING PARTY is the interactive portion of the festival.

Fans can watch music videos on the big screen while participating in fan chants, singing along, and using their official light sticks. The experience is designed to recreate some of the energy of attending a live K-pop event with other fans.

SEVENTEEN will be featured through a concert film from their NEW_ world tour.

The film brings the group’s concert performance and stage production to cinemas for CARATs around the world.

Why CORTIS, ILLIT, KATSEYE & LE SSERAFIM Fans Should Watch
