PSY’s Summer Swag 2025 just raised the bar for K-pop summer concerts. On opening night at the Incheon Asiad Stadium, fans witnessed an electrifying spectacle as G-Dragon, Rosé, and PSY delivered surprise sets that turned the night into a K-pop fever dream.

The show kicked off with PSY’s high-octane hits like 'Champion' and 'I Luv It', setting the tone with his trademark water cannons and humour. But the night truly ignited when BLACKPINK’s Rosé appeared unannounced to perform her viral track 'APT.' with PSY.

"I've always dreamed of being part of Summer Swag," she said, before treating the crowd to the first-ever live performance of 'Dance All Night' and a powerful rendition of 'Toxic Till the End.' PSY revealed Rosé reached out herself to join the show. "Even though she's my junior, I learned a lot from her."

Moments later, the roar of the crowd surged again as G-Dragon took the stage. Dressed in laidback denim and shades, the BIGBANG icon launched into 'POWER' and 'Home Sweet Home,' marking his return to the stage after 88 months.

"When a superstar like PSY calls, I have to come," he told fans. "Twelve years ago, I first stood on this stage. I never imagined I'd be back."

He capped off his set with a fiery 'Crayon' and a surprise duet of 'Crooked' with PSY — a performance fans won’t forget anytime soon.

Meanwhile, just 20 kilometers away at Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province, BTS' Jin launched his first solo fan concert, RunSeokjin_EP. Tour, on the same day. The intimate, interactive show marked another milestone in BTS' return to the stage.

The concert came just two weeks after J-Hope's Hope on the Stage encore gig at the same venue, offering ARMY a rare back-to-back treat following the group's full return from military service earlier this month.
