Day 1 of K-Pop Revolution ended on a high note with an afterparty soundtracked by classic hits from BTS, BIGBANG, and many more. The energy hardly had a chance to settle. Fans were left buzzing, voices hoarse from singing along, already carrying that lingering adrenaline into the next morning. Energized and louder, the crowd returned ready to pick up exactly where they had left off.
SUPERTHAI
SUPERTHAI, a Thai boy group consisting of former Chuang Asia 2 trainees, represented the growing influence of T-pop within the broader Asian music scene and brought an international dimension to the lineup. Members Plengthai, Tadalee, Peanut, and Ninja officially debuted in August 2025 as an independent project and quickly gained recognition for their high-energy pop tracks and performance-driven style.
During their press conference, SUPERTHAI discussed not only choreography and stage charisma, but also gratitude, identity, and their cultural mission. They spoke passionately about wanting to share a piece of Thailand with international audiences. Beyond music, they see themselves as cultural ambassadors, eager to introduce not only T-Pop but also Thai culture, traditions, and even food to new audiences. The experience of connecting with European fans, they explained, has been profoundly shaping them as artists.
SUPERTHAI’s panel also emphasized cross-cultural exchange and bridging Thai and Korean pop influences. When asked how they determine which elements of Thai culture feel modern and contemporary enough to incorporate, Tadalee offered a thoughtful perspective, explaining that while Thai culture is often perceived as traditional or old-fashioned, creativity allows it to be reinterpreted in fresh ways. As he put it, “Culture lives in one’s roots, no matter the country, and incorporating what you grow up with into your art is not necessarily difficult, but it can be challenging.”
For SUPERTHAI, the key is authenticity: “If it feels natural, it belongs in our music.”
Throughout the weekend, the SUPERTHAI members moved freely around the festival grounds, greeting fans with warmth and openness. They made themselves approachable, stopping for spontaneous conversations, posing for photos, and simply taking in the atmosphere. At one point, they even joined the Random Play Dance, cheering on participants and jumping in themselves, laughing and dancing alongside fans.
SUPERTHAI set was full of vibrant charisma and rhythmic dynamism. Their performance style felt celebratory and interactive, encouraging crowd participation. They commanded the stage with sharp precision and high energy from the moment the opening beats of “Heartbreaker” hit. The choreography was clean, emphasizing tight formations and powerful transitions that highlighted each member without losing the group’s cohesion. “Run the Show” followed with even greater intensity, complete with bold eye contact, confident stage struts, and an almost playful dominance that lived up to the track’s title. By the time SUPERTHAI launched into “Generate,” their pre-debut track blending classic Thai sounds with hip-hop and dance-focused pop, the crowd was fully locked in, matching the members’ energy beat for beat as chants grew louder and more synchronized.
The group’s cover stages added another dimension to the performance. “Like Jennie” by JENNIE transformed the venue into a full-fledged party. SUPERTHAI interacted with the audience throughout the song, hyping the crowd and feeding off every cheer. Their cover of “Hit Me Up” by Timethai and BamBam showcased a smoother, more rhythm-driven side. The members added subtle improvisations combined with relaxed charisma that contrasted well against their harder-hitting tracks. They maintained this atmosphere with a cover of “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars, injecting the venue with irresistible groovy energy and turning the stage into a full-blown dance party as the crowd clapped and bounced along.
SUPERTHAI’s set ended on an emotional note with their cover of “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. The atmosphere shifted instantly. Phone lights filled the venue, and what began as a performance turned into a shared sing-along. The crowd carried entire choruses, their voices blending with the members. As the final notes rang out, emotion was visibly written across the members’ faces, a few of them tearing up as they took in the sight and sound of the audience singing back every word.
Many attendees admitted they had not been deeply familiar with SUPERTHAI before the festival, yet by the end of the set, new fans were made. They may have entered the weekend as an under-the-radar act, but they left Mainz as a memorable highlight.
NouerA
NouerA is a multicultural seven-member boy group, Gihyeon, Junpyo, Hyunjun, Yuseop, Lin, Fan, and Miraku, formed through the reality competition MAKE MATE 1 and managed by Nouer Entertainment. They debuted in February 2025 with Chapter: New Is Now. Their music blends energetic pop with harmonized vocals and spirited choreography, appealing to audiences seeking both performance skill and emotional resonance.
Each member chose a single word to capture their essence as they introduced themselves to the German audience.
Hyunjun described them as “passionate,” while Gihyeon chose “variety.” Lin highlighted their “strong impression,” and Fan added, “colourful.” Miraku summed up their vibe as “happiness,” and Yuseop called the group “chill and young.” Junpyo, with a smile, chose “onion,” explaining that as you peel back the layers, there is always more to discover.
At their press conference, NouerA spoke excitedly about experiencing Germany for the first time. Junpyo, who spoke on behalf of his members for most of the conference, shared how happy they were to finally meet their European fans and laughed while mentioning how much they had been thoroughly enjoying the local food. But according to NoeurA, it was “the energy they experienced on stage in Germany” that was “unmatched.”
NoeurA (pronounced “noo-erah” is a portmanteau of the French word “nouer,” which means “to tie” in English, and the English word “era.” The group offered thoughtful insight into the meaning behind their name and their artistic direction. Their first two albums deliberately focused on the performance aspect of earlier K-pop generations, drawing inspiration from highly orchestrated formations and synchronized movement. However, with their upcoming third album, their focus has shifted toward the “hip” side of music – a stronger emphasis on sound design, groove, and contemporary musical elements. Their goal, they explained, is to transcend generational boundaries by not simply borrowing from the past, but blending different eras into one cohesive sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
Junpyo also talked about NouerA’s team dynamic, emphasizing the importance of constant communication and peaceful conversations. Creative differences, he admitted, are natural within a group of strong and distinct personalities. But instead of avoiding disagreements, they work through them with honesty and mutual respect. He explained that they are steadily moving forward to what they describe as a “state of tranquility” in their teamwork, a balance that strengthens both their bond and their artistry.
NouerA was also asked about their dream collaborations, and the answers were equally diverse. Yuseop named Jay Park as one of his most respected artists. The group also expressed admiration for groups like Treasure and NCT. Additionally, they highlighted Lay Zhang, the executive producer of their third album, sharing that they would love to feature him directly on a future track.
With so many potential new fans in the audience, NouerA recommended “POP IT LIKE,” the title track of their third album of the same name, which was released on March 9. They described it as a defining step in this new era. Another deeply meaningful recommendation was “MU,” their pre-debut song, which they felt encapsulated NouerA’s identity at its core and a foundation for their evolving sound.
These reflections carried seamlessly into their performance, where NouerA brought their artistic vision to life. Opening with their own discography, they immediately set the tone. Their track “Sparkle” shimmered with youthful vibrancy, its bright hook instantly connecting with the audience. “BnB” and “Bring the Crunk” had fans jumping along to the amped up bass and attitude. Meanwhile, “N.I.N (New Is Now),” “MU,” and “N (Number of Cases)” showcased their evolving musical identity, blending punchy rap sections, layered vocals, and synchronized formations.
NoeurA’s covers also highlighted both technical skill and interpretive depth. The set had a sentimental start with “Euphoria” by Jungkook, allowing their vocals to soar while soft lighting created a dreamlike ambience. In sharp contrast, their take on “Dirty Work” by aespa brought a darker and edgier energy to the stage. Their cover of “Sugarcoat” by Natty added a sleek, groove-driven moment to the set, emphasizing their charismatic control of the stage.
Throughout their set, the atmosphere oscillated between explosive hype and immersive focus. By the time they closed their stage. NouerA had firmly stamped their name onto the festival lineup as artists determined to leave a lasting impression.

Living up to their name as trendsetters of Generation Z, they place a strong emphasis on authenticity and actively contribute to lyrics and toplines.
For TRENDZ, K-Pop Revolution served as the official kickoff of their European Tour. During their panel, the members spoke candidly about their excitement for the tour and their appreciation for European fans who have supported them from afar. The members spoke warmly about the energy they had already felt from European Friendz, sharing that this tour felt especially meaningful as it allowed them to connect in person with an international audience they had long wanted to reach. Reflecting on their discography, ra.L. shared that if he could preserve just one song, he would choose “Chameleon,” as its blend of genres best represents the group’s versatility and artistic range. The group also expressed their enthusiasm for presenting their new single, “Kart Racer,” a high-energy track written specifically for their European run, which they described as a project they worked especially hard on, both musically and visually, to match the dynamic atmosphere of their live performances.
TRENDZ took to the stage at K-Pop Revolution, delivering a performance that showcased their versatility and growing confidence as live performers. The group immediately brought high-octane energy to the stage, dressed in moto jackets that perfectly matched their newest concept. Their set offered powerful choreography along with engaging fan interactions, which demonstrated why they continue to build a strong international following. A standout moment came with the performance of “Kart Racer.” The song’s explosive drive and chant-ready hook made it clear that TRENDZ intends to approach this tour at full speed.
The group highlighted their own discography. Fan favorites such as “My Way,” “TNT (Truth&Trust),” and “Chameleon” gave their fans, called Friendz, in the audience plenty of opportunities to sing along. Tracks like “Crime” and “NEW DAYZ” brought the energy to another level. The choreography reached its peak during “VAGABOND,” when the members lifted and momentarily tossed Eunil up in the air, drawing gasps and cheers from the audience.
Another highlight of TRENDZ’s set was a dynamic K-Pop mash-up cover stage where the members blended several well-known tracks into one seamless performance.

Throughout the performance, TRENDZ demonstrated precision and attention to detail, a topic they spoke about in their interview. Each song was delivered with carefully synchronized choreography and confident stage presence, showing a group that is steadily refining its identity while continuing to experiment and evolve.
TRENDZ closed K-Pop Revolution on a thrilling note. Overall, the event’s scale and accessibility made it a unique experience for fans. The multicultural lineup ranged from rookies to seasoned artists, idols to actors, reflecting the increasingly transnational identity of pop culture in Europe. The event thrived on closeness rather than spectacle. There was laughter shared between artists and attendees during panels, spontaneous fan interactions, and performances delivered only meters away from the audience.
In doing so, it reinforced the fact that K-Pop’s expansion and influence in Europe does not exist solely in arenas. It flourishes in community-driven spaces where artists and fans share the same floor.
