Kwon Eun Bi impressed a crowd of about 50,000 people at Türkiye’s Istanbul Festival on August 14, showing once again why she has become a strong name on the global festival stage.
The singer performed at Festival Park Yenikapı in Istanbul as part of the fifth edition of the Istanbul Festival, one of Türkiye’s major music events. Her appearance also placed her among the first K-pop artists to perform at the festival, alongside MONSTA X, Sunmi, and ATEEZ, AllKPop reported.
Fans gave Kwon Eun Bi a loud welcome when she walked onto the large outdoor stage. She opened her set with “Door” before moving through a mix of songs that showed different sides of her music.
Her setlist included “Hi,” “Hello Stranger,” “Unnatural,” and the fan favorite “Underwater.” She also added something special for the international crowd with her own performance of Dua Lipa’s “Levitating.”
Kwon Eun Bi kept the energy high throughout the show with steady live vocals and sharp choreography. She moved between upbeat and softer moments with ease, giving the large crowd plenty to enjoy.
Kwon Eun Bi Shines at Istanbul Festival
The Istanbul performance also highlighted how much Kwon Eun Bi has grown as a festival performer.
In South Korea, she has appeared at many university festivals and other major events, where she has built a reputation for strong live performances. Now, she is taking that experience to audiences outside Korea.
According to KPopHit, her Istanbul appearance came after her performance at K-PULSE HANOI 2026 in Vietnam.
The two overseas events have given her more chances to meet fans around the world and show what she can bring to a live stage.
Kwon Eun Bi’s growing international festival schedule comes as she continues to build her presence outside South Korea. Rather than relying only on traditional music stages, she has been appearing in large outdoor events where artists must connect with thousands of fans at once.
At the Istanbul Festival, she did just that. From the opening notes of “Door” to her special “Levitating” performance, she kept the crowd focused on the stage.
