Taipei, May 4 (CNA) K-Pop group XLOV will hold a concert at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC) on May 20. Taiwanese member RUI (Chen Guan-juei) expressed his joy at returning to his hometown and his anticipation to take his fellow members to try various Taiwanese snacks. Meanwhile, veteran British crooner Engelbert Humperdinck is also set to perform at the same venue before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
XLOV debuted in January last year, composed of WUMUTI, HARU, HYUN, and RUI (Chen Guan-juei). They have risen to fame with their powerful stage presence and dance skills, having already performed in multiple European countries. RUI stated today through the organizers that he is very happy to perform in his hometown. “Being able to return to my hometown and meet everyone this time is a very precious and happy thing for me. I am truly looking forward to that day when I can personally convey these feelings to everyone.”
RUI revealed that, in addition to looking forward to reuniting with fans, he is even more excited to let his members experience Taiwanese cuisine. He wants to drink bubble tea as soon as he lands and try snacks like salty crispy chicken and xiaolongbao, planning a food tour during their free time. Tickets for this concert are currently on sale.
Separately, 90-year-old British singer Engelbert Humperdinck, known for classic love songs such as “Release Me,” “Quando Quando Quando,” “A Man Without Love,” and “The Last Waltz,” has been nominated for four Grammy Awards and won one Golden Globe Award.
Engelbert Humperdinck revealed that the secret to his “ageless” career, still active in the music scene, is maintaining his passion for the stage. “My mindset now is no different from half a century ago. Whenever I step onto the stage, I feel full of vitality throughout my body, and I hope to keep singing.”
He also mentioned that he enjoys performing in Asia very much, especially praising the enthusiasm of Taiwanese fans. “The audience here is very enthusiastic and warm; I really love them.” The concert will be held on September 23 at the Taipei International Convention Center, with tickets going on sale on the 7th.
