| Thai Sweetheart Nunew Joins Unipop Day 1 Alongside Solar, Paul Kim, Sam Kim & More |
K-pop meets Thai pop! Nunew Chawarin Perdpiriyawong, the beloved Thai actor-singer who’s been melting hearts across Asia, is officially set to perform at SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer 2025, July 27 – making him the only Thai artist invited this year. What a proud moment!
The annual music festival, hosted by South Korean broadcaster SBS, is a long-standing tradition since 1996. While it used to be the ultimate year-end bash in December, starting last year the show was split into seasonal editions – and this summer’s instalment is shaping up to be huge.

Fans across Southeast Asia are already buzzing with pride, with many calling it a “milestone moment” for Thai representation on major Korean stages.
