Late on May 14, a post titled “8 K-pop groups chosen by international media to perform at Coachella” was shared on the Korean forum “theqoo” . The post has garnered over 50,000 views and nearly 300 comments.
Specifically, this subject discusses a compilation by foreign magazine Elle titled “Coachella 2025: Top 8 K-Pop Rookies That Would Rock the Music Festival”, which features TWS, RIIZE, BABYMONSTER, KISS OF LIFE, BOYNEXTDOOR, ZB1, Loosemble, and 82MAJOR.
Despite this, many netizens still find the list to be comical, with some mocking the skills and popularity of the groups mentioned as being “too low”for Coachella.
Despite receiving criticisms, BABYMONSTER and KISS OF LIFE stood out as exceptions, while NMIXX was also mentioned.
The following are comments from internet users:
- What’s the standard? Loosemble has even worse skills than LE SSERAFIM so they are going to be in big trouble
- BABYMONSTER and KISS OF LIFE should do well, and I think NMIXX should also be included
- Can any of these groups sing live? Their overseas fandom don’t seem to be impressive
- I’ve never heard of them before.
- Some of them would do okay, but the rest may become the next LE SSERAFIM
- I am unsure of what the standard is. Has the Coachella barrier been somehow lowered?
