According to their agency, Beat Interactive, NEWBEAT will perform at “K-WAVE INFINITY,” taking place on the 8th at the Kaohsiung Arena in Taiwan. The event will feature K-pop artists representing various generations—including Highlight, Apink, CRAVITY, and FlareU—who will meet with local fans.
New Beat will deliver a full live performance during their approximately 30-minute set. They plan to connect with the local audience through a variety of performances, including the title track “Flip the Coin” from their first full-length album, a band-style arrangement of “We Are Young,” and a Chinese-language version of “Cappuccino.”
They have also prepared a special stage for local fans. By performing a dance cover medley spanning various genres and reinterpreting hit songs by famous Taiwanese bands, they plan to deepen their connection with the local audience.
Since launching promotions for their first mini-album, “Louder Than Ever,” last year, Newbeat has steadily expanded their overseas fan base through achievements on the U.S. Amazon Music charts, domestic tours, and activities in China. Most recently, they demonstrated their presence as a next-generation group by winning the “KM Next Potential” award at the “KMA 2026.”
In particular, ahead of this concert, they expanded their connection with fans through various local promotional activities in Taiwan, including TV and radio appearances, magazine interviews, and busking. Attention is now focused on whether Newbeat will be able to further expand its presence in the Asian market following this debut performance in Taiwan.
