K-pop night
On a buzzing summer Friday night in Midtown Manhattan, Quadrant International Art Association (QIAA) hosted its highly anticipated Summer K-pop Night at Nebula NYC, one of New York City’s premier nightlife venues. The event brought together K-pop fans, dancers, and creatives from across the region for a night of live performance, community celebration, and collective joy.
This showcase was more than just a dance event — it was a platform for emerging performers to express their passion and cultural pride through choreography, music, and movement. From precise technical execution to expressive storytelling and high-energy charisma, the five participating groups turned the stage into a living celebration of K-pop artistry.
