Indonesia was once again pampered by top Korean artists at the ‘Saranghaeyo Indonesia 2017′ on the 25th of November!
It’s the second concert of the annual event and this year, Mecima Pro (MCP) has brought even more artists than last year.
While in 2016 Saranghaeyo Indonesia (SHI) invited Taeyang, Akdong Musician, and Nell, this year they rocked the crowd with DAY6, Dean, Eric Nam, iKON, and Lee Hi. When MCP announced the concert’s first line up in June, fans were hyped up by the fact that they first released DEAN; then in July they also announced the three remaining artists. However, when DAY6 was confirmed to be the final artist to complete the lineup of SHI 2017, public was surprised because it was only two weeks after their own DAY6 Live & Meet in Jakarta!
Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon of DAY6 opened the concert with ‘I’m Serious’, continued with ‘Dance Dance’.
The popular boyband expressed their happiness coming back to Indonesia shortly after their fan-meeting in August. They followed with ‘You’re Beautiful’ and their debut song, ‘Congratulations’.
DAY6 even performed ‘Separuh Aku’ by the Indonesian band, NOAH where fans sang along throughout the song as quoted from KapanLagi.com.

Eric Nam then took the stage and interacted with the audience as he performed his hit songs ‘Who, You?’, and ‘Good for You’. He also performed ‘Cave Me In’, which was requested by the audience.
Singer and rapper DEAN wowed the audience next with ‘Put My Hands on You’ and ‘Half Moon’ as quoted from Kumparan.
The hyped atmosphere was then calmed by Lee Hi’s soothing voice with her song, ‘Breathe’. She expressed her amazement of Indonesian fans who greatly welcomed her first concert in the country.

Each of the performers performed at least five songs at the totally packed and worth-going joint concert. Thanks to MCP’s active role in bringing these hot South Korean artists together and closer to their Indonesian audience.
As 2017 is coming to an end, we are very excited to bring news of more KPop events next year. See you soon!
