CIRCLE JANUARY 18 with a red pen if you are tired of idol-driven, repetitive Canto-pop. On this day, you have the opportunity to go wild over some 'real' and quality music.
Korean pop queen Park Ji-yoon and Taiwan's rock 'n' roll big brother Wu Bai will be headlining an outdoor one-day music festival titled Wild Day Out at the old Kai Tak Airport. They will be joined by Chang Chen-yue, Cheer Chen Chi-jen and Sticky Rice from across the strait and local live acts Seasons Lee, Wildchild and Anthony Wong Chau-sang.
Park, famous for her wild appearance and dancing, will stage her first live concert in Hong Kong. The 21-year-old has been singing for four years, and she is the best-known Korean singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
'We can't wait any longer for her performance in Hong Kong,' says Flora Kwong Man-wai, the record label's general manager of event organisers Rock Hong Kong Company. 'Although she is not a rock singer, it's still enjoyable to see her and her dancers in an outdoor venue.'
Wild Day Out is a rare outdoor music event in Hong Kong. Some 12,000 people are expected to catch the performances from eight live acts.
The music extravaganza is scheduled to kick off at 4pm.
