aespa to perform at African music festival "Mawazine"! First K-POP female group to do so

It has been announced that "aespa" will be performing at the African music festival "Mawazine".

"Mawazine" has been held in Morocco every year since 2001 (excluding the pandemic period).


"aespa" is scheduled to appear on the "OLM SOUISSI" stage on June 24.

When did I start thinking that K-POP popularity was slow to enter India and the Arab world (Middle East), perhaps because of the weak economic foundation?


As the era changed from "Heisei" to "Movie", I soon forgot about that.


If you think about it, K-POP is already popular in both India and the Arab world.


The movie 'Casablanca' starring Hemphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman is a love story set in the Moroccan city of Casablanca.


After watching this movie, I thought Casablanca was the capital of Morocco for a long time.


In terms of population, the capital city of Rabat has 600,000 people, while Casablanca has 3.9 million people.


Casablanca is much larger in terms of city size.
If we compare it to the United States, Casablanca might be like New York.


So when I thought that the African music festival 'Mawazine' would be held in Casablanca, I found out that Fez is held in the capital city of Rabat.


Since it is said that there are more than 2.5 million visitors every year (2013), if it was held in the mammoth city of Casablanca, it might be said that it would have a negative impact on the country's economic activity.


Since it is like a music festival representing Africa, it is said that the appearance of a K-pop group is the second after ATEEZ and the first appearance of a K-pop girl group.


It seems that 'aespa' will appear on the stage of 'OLM SOUISSI' on June 24th.


Since "Mawazine" is like an outdoor music festival like Coachella, just appearing is only half the honor.


There is no need to worry about the rank of the stage that has been prepared.
The question is, what was the stage itself like?


On the spot,


① How much reputation did it have?
② How many fans did it gather?
③ How much media (reporters) did it attract?


Above, I want to wait for the results of the three points.


I don't want to hear any negative comments or excuses behind the stage.
