K-pop sensation MINNIE of the chart-topping group (G)I-DLE captivated fans in Hong Kong yesterday, attending a major brand engagement that drew over a hundred enthusiastic supporters and offered an early taste of the group’s highly anticipated global tour. The Thai-born vocalist’s appearance served as a promotional stop just weeks before the launch of their international trek, which will include a performance in the city this summer.
The high-profile event saw MINNIE greet the fervent crowd with warm appreciation. Dressed distinctively in a vest top and sporting long twin braids, the singer elicited immediate cheers as she waved to the assembled fans. Demonstrating a charming connection with the local audience, MINNIE delivered greetings in Cantonese, stating, “Hello everyone, I am MINNIE,” and shared her personal affection for Hong Kong’s renowned culinary offerings, specifically mentioning her fondness for dim sum and milk tea.
Collaboration Hailed and Global Tour Details Shared
The idol took the opportunity to discuss (G)I-DLE’s recent musical project, the new single “Mono (Feat. skaiwater),” which was released late last month. She highlighted the successful collaboration with British rapper Skaiwater, marking the first time the group has worked with the UK artist. MINNIE praised Skaiwater’s unique creative approach and expressed deep admiration for the energy he brings to his stage presence, noting that his style complemented the dynamics of their new track effectively.
Crucially for international fans, MINNIE confirmed the imminent start of the group’s world tour. The concert series is scheduled to kick off this month in Seoul, with dates extending across the globe. Adding fuel to the excitement of local fans, she officially confirmed that a Hong Kong stop is planned for June. This announcement cemented the promotional event’s utility as a strategic launchpad, driving anticipation for ticket sales and regional engagement weeks in advance. MINNIE encouraged fans to “stay tuned” for further details regarding the venue and dates.
Fan Interaction and Local Connection
Throughout her appearance, MINNIE prioritized fan interaction. Following the brief interview segment, she reiterated her gratitude to the supporters. She graciously signed off by repeatedly saying “thank you” in Cantonese and forming a popular heart gesture with her hands, leading to a fresh wave of cheers and applause from the onlookers.
The intense fan response underscores the substantial and growing influence of K-pop acts in the regional entertainment landscape. Such promotional events not only boost brand visibility but also serve as vital pre-tour marketing tools, solidifying the local connection before the full-scale concert production arrives. For fans in Hong Kong and across Asia, MINNIE’s visit signals that the region remains a priority for top-tier international music acts as global touring schedules resume full speed. Further announcements regarding the specific venue and ticket sales for the June concert are expected shortly.
