K-Pop Boy Band Lucente Say ‘Marhaba Dubai’

Last year was a game-changing one for K-Pop in the UAE. Following a domestic growing interest in the Korean global phenomenon, Dubai rang in the new year with a new K-Pop act.

Rookie boy band Lucente is in town as the opening act for the all-girl group Momoland, making them the first K-Pop boy band to touch down and perform in the Emirates in 2019.

Ahead of the concert on January 4, the seven young men – U.Seong (leader, rapper), Z.Hoo (rapper), Kogun (vocal), Bao (rapper), Parkha (vocal), Hero (vocal), Taejun (rapper) – sat for a press conference at the Roxy Cinema City Walk, dressed in color-coordinated stylish attire.

They greeted media and young fans with a ‘marhaba’ (hello in Arabic) and shared their thoughts on their upcoming performance in Dubai and their Middle East debut.
