To celebrate the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and South Korea, K-EXPO 2026 will return to Paris with an exceptional new edition dedicated to the growing global influence of Korean culture, bringing together music, entertainment, beauty, gastronomy and immersive experiences.
A Star-Studded Line-Up for K-EXPO 2026
From June 16 to 18, 2026, Palais des Congrès de Paris will host K-EXPO INKIGAYO 2026, a three-day event organized by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) and Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA). Alongside exhibitions, cultural activities and immersive spaces dedicated to K-Culture, the event will feature a major K-Pop concert on June 17 with some of the biggest names in the Korean music industry.
Among the announced artists is TAEMIN, member of SHINee and acclaimed solo performer, who has already met French fans through previous concerts in France alongside his fandom, TAEMate. Singer-songwriter Stella Jang, known for her soft indie sound and her popular French-inspired song “L’amour, les baguettes, Paris”, will also join the line-up.
Fans will also be able to see MONSTA X. While Minhyuk previously attended K-EXPO 2024 on his own, several members of the group including Shownu, Kihyun, Hyungwon and Joohoney are expected to join this year’s edition in Paris to reconnect with their fandom, MONBEBE. Member I.M will not be present as he is currently fulfilling his mandatory military service in South Korea.
82MAJOR, who already performed in Paris earlier this year, will return to the French capital with members Seongil, Yechan, Seongmo, Seongbin, Seokjoon and Dogyun. The event will also welcome NCT WISH, the newest unit of NCT formed through the survival show “NCT Universe : LASTART”, as well as rookie girl group Hearts2Hearts, also known as H2H, composed of eight members under SM Entertainment.
Positioned as a true cultural bridge between Korea and Europe, K-EXPO 2026 is shaping up to be one of the major K-Culture events of the year in France. Tickets for both the exhibition and concert are still available.
