Mnet's 'Show Me the Money 12' has opened the curtain on a "hip-hop festival," boasting attention that hasn't cooled even after the series ended. With the concert just 10 days away, news came that an additional performance was scheduled after tickets sold out at lightning speed.
The 'Show Me the Money 12 concert' will be held on May 30 and 31 at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin District, Seoul. The event, originally planned as two shows on Sunday only, sold out immediately when tickets opened. As global fans showed overwhelming support and additional transfer requests flooded in, organizers urgently added a Saturday performance.
The concert will feature the stars who brightly lit up season 12, completing a dazzling lineup. Champions and standout performers, including winner Kim Ha-on, Kwon O-seon, Na U-im Young, No Seon, Double Down, DK, Rapsandu, Royal 44, Mav, Mason Home, Millie, Youngshrew, Oxinova, Genederzilla, Jung Jun-hyuk, Jeffrey White, Trevi, Flicky Bang, Flowsik, and Forgi@theBottom, will take the stage over both days to connect with the audience (in Korean alphabetical order).
In particular, live performances of mega-hit competition songs such as "TICK TOCK (Feat. ZICO)" and "KISS KISS KISS (Feat. Sunwoo (THE BOYZ))," which remain at the top of major music charts and have enjoyed long-running success, are expected to raise fans' anticipation to a peak. In addition, tightly scheduled solo stages featuring the cast's individuality will provide an even richer setlist.
After a dazzling return four years after season 11 in 2022, 'Show Me the Money 12' set a record even before airing when about 36,000 applicants—the largest number in the show's history—applied during the open call for rappers. It produced winner Kim Ha-on and opened a new chapter in hip-hop entertainment with the bold move of presenting the streaming original 'Yaksha: Ruthless Operations.' As proof, the combined cumulative views on official YouTube, TikTok and Instagram surpassed 1.28 billion views, demonstrating its viral appeal.
An event official said, "We decided to add a performance thanks to fans' passionate support, and we are preparing a perfect stage that everyone can feel and enjoy together."
