“2025 Taiwan Beats Showcase” to Take Place on September 11 as Platform for Korean-Taiwanese Music Exchange

An international music showcase aimed at introducing Taiwanese popular music and fostering musical exchanges between Korea and Taiwan is set to be held. Organized by TAICCA (Taiwan Creative Content Agency), the “2025 Taiwan Beats Showcase in Seoul” will commence at 6 p.m. on September 11 at Cityback in Itaewon, Seoul. This event serves as a large-scale cultural exchange initiative that invites promising Taiwanese artists along with key figures from Taiwan’s entertainment industry, including Ten Entertainment, Odot Music Studio, Sound of Tomorrow, East Town Music, and Cromellion Entertainment, to Korea. The artists participating in the showcase are all rising stars within Taiwan’s music scene. Singer-songwriter Andrew was nominated for Best New Artist at every major Chinese-speaking music award less than a year after his Debut, appeared on Spotify Radar and Apple Music Up Next, and performed on the SXSW stage. The alternative band I’m Delicious was formed in 2018, gained attention in North America and Asia with their EP 25, and was included in Dazed Korea’s “Dazed 100 Asia” list in 2024. Singer-songwriter and producer Leonion is known for blending R&B with neo-soul, and his track “Can’t Find” has accumulated over 6.4 million streams solely on Spotify. Collaborations between music professionals from Korea and Taiwan are also thriving. Odot Music Studio, founded by producer Everydayz, collaborated with Korean singer Ozon on the song “Everytime.” WOO.K and Kim Ji-ho from Ten Entertainment manage ZENBLU, who made their debut in Korea, as well as SEVENTEEN, who emerged through Korea’s first joint production audition program with Taiwan, “SCOOL.” Both groups have gained significant attention in both countries. Sound of Tomorrow produced The Chairs, which won the Best Vocal Group award at the 30th Golden Melody Awards, and The Chairs further gained recognition among Korean fans by participating in the DMZ Peace Train Music Festival 2025. An event official stated, “This event provides a unique opportunity for music professionals from Korea and Taiwan to interact directly. We hope it will serve as a platform where artists and industry leaders can pursue new collaborations and expand their networks.” The “2025 Taiwan Beats Showcase in Seoul” is organized by TAICCA and operated in partnership with Creators Network, the organizer of MUCON 2024, and Hipear. Applications will also be accepted for 50 general public members to attend the performances.
