K-pop rookie group EMOTI is set to take the stage at B1 Mall in Al Barsha next month for Korean Culture Festival 2026, adding to the growing lineup of Korean entertainment and cultural events taking place across the city.
Meet EMOTI
Formed under DNA Entertainment, EMOTI:M is a five-member multinational boy group comprising South Korean members Ju Hyun, Chan Yul and Jin Won, Japanese member Rei and Hong Kong-born Yeong Ho.
The group made its debut on July 31, 2026, with its first single album, ‘CONNECT,’ featuring the lead track ‘SPARK’.
Their upcoming appearance in Dubai will offer UAE-based K-pop fans an opportunity to see the rookie group live, just months after its debut. The quintet’s exact appearance date and stage timings have yet to be announced.
Dubai’s K-culture scene
The three-day festival, taking place from November 6 to 8, will feature indoor and outdoor activities, including K-pop performances, Korean cuisine, calligraphy, beauty color analysis, and booths showcasing Korean fashion, entertainment, K-beauty, and traditional arts.
EMOTI:M’s appearance adds to Dubai’s expanding Korean entertainment calendar, as the city continues to attract cultural events connecting local audiences with South Korean music and traditions.
ONEUS and KWON EUNBI performed as part of Dubai K-Fest 2026 in September, while CHUNG HA and SHINee’s ONEW were announced for Dubai Shopping Festival’s January entertainment program.
