BINI joins Japan’s HANA, Thailand’s 4EVE girl groups for 3-country concert series

Nation’s Girl Group BINI joins J-pop and T-pop powerhouses for the multi-country Asia Pop Girl Fest 2027.

BINI is taking P-pop further into the Asian girl-group conversation as the Filipino act joins Japan’s HANA and Thailand’s 4EVE for “Asia Pop Girl Fest 2027,” a three-country concert series spanning Japan, Thailand, and the Philippines.

The series opens at LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY in Chiba on January 22 and 23, 2027, before heading to BITEC Live in Bangkok on Feb. 13 and SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila on February 19.

The three groups will perform individual sets while also sharing exclusive collaborative stages, bringing P-Pop, J-Pop, and T-Pop together in one touring production.

For BINI and 4EVE, the collaboration comes after the two groups previously exchanged dance covers of each other’s songs, an interaction that fans now see as an early hint of their eventual crossover.

Beyond the concerts, fans are already viewing the lineup as a possible test of how far non-K-pop Asian girl groups can travel internationally.

“Sana maging successful ’to dahil kapag pumatok, it will open more opportunities sa mga non-K-pop groups na makapag-perform sa bigger stage lalo na for P-pop, J-pop, T-pop, etc.,” one netizen wrote.

Another called it “the movement na hinihintay natin,” saying BINI’s inclusion could signal a wider shift in the Asian pop market.

Asia Pop Girl Fest 2027 puts three regional pop scenes on the same stage, and leaves K-pop out of the equation.
