Teen Top realized their popularity even in Canada. Last 21 March many North American fans gathered from different areas just to see Teen Top perform at ‘2012 Canadian Music Festival’ that was held in Toronto, Canada.
At this year’s 30th Anniversary of Canadian Music Festival, ‘2K12 Korea Night’ performances started from 8pm consisting of Teen Top and the 7 other teams from Korea. On that day, performances from Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan and many more continued to stretch till the following day’s 1am at Toronto’s biggest night club ‘Kool Haus’.
Besides Teen Top, there were Brian, GNA, APink, along with K-Pop artist were Crying Nut, Line 3 Butterfly, Yellow Monster and many other indie bands who participated in such a huge performance.
For this performance a total of more than 10,000 tickets were sold and 3 hours before the K-Pop stars’ performances, already there were more than 70 fans forming a queue to wait. 1 hour left before the performance, over 1500 people formed a line surrounding the venue building.
The organizing committee of Canadian Music Week (CMW) was shocked by the turn out and said “ Among the festivals ‘Korea Night’ received the hottest response. A lot of work aroused at the concert venue but it consisted of the most successful performances”
A large portion of 7 participating teams including Teen Top was their first time performing at such a festival. Even GNA who was originally from Canada, to attend at such a huge scale festival for earnings was her first.
The main performances during the festival was APink followed by Teen Top. Canadian fans of Teen Top who knew of them through Youtube, went all the way to the airport to pick up the boys as soon as they heard news of them coming to Canada, and even queued really early to secure a front standing view of the stage.
Korea Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE) the management of the Korean artistes who participated in the “Canadian Music Festival” brought tentatively 200 Teen Top CDs and within a few minutes at the venue there weren’t many CDs left. Fans who couldn’t get the CDs were left with a grudge.
After the event, the 500 posters pasted outside the concert venue were all torn off and taken away by KPop fans.
