Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026: Who should represent 🇰🇷 South Korea?

On 31 March 2026, the European Broadcasting Union, Voxovation, and S2O Productions officially announced that the inaugural edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Asia will take place on 14 November 2026 at IdeaLive in Bangkok, Thailand. As a Thai Eurofan who has followed the Eurovision Song Contest for over a decade, despite the time zone differences, I am thrilled to see the competition finally debut in Asia, particularly in my hometown of Bangkok, a city rich in culture and diversity. Below are some artists who I thought should potentially represent one of, if not, the biggest nation in terms of music industries in this inaugural edition: ▸ Aespa - Supernova ▸ Ailee (에일리) - Ra Ta Ta (with Lil Cherry) ▸ AleXa - Tongue Tied ▸ ALi (알리) - Akgwi (악귀) ▸ Anh Ye Eun (안예은) - Hongryeon (홍련) ▸ BeWhy - Gottasadae (가라사대) ▸ Bibi - BIBI Vengeance (나쁜년) ▸ BoyNextDoor - Fadeaway ▸ CL - HWA ▸ Day6 - Shoot Me ▸ Dreamcatcher - Scream ▸ Ejae - Golden (with Audrey Nuna & Rei Ami, as HUNTR/X) ▸ Felix (Stray Kids) - Reawaker (with LiSA) ▸ Hong Jinyoung (홍진영) - Love Is Like A Petal (사랑은 꽃잎처럼) ▸ Hwasa - Good Goodbye ▸ Jennie - Like Jennie ▸ Jessi - What Type of X (어떤X) ▸ Kwon Eunbi - Underwater ▸ RM - Wild Flower (들꽃놀이) (With Youjeen) ▸ Song Sohee (송소희) - Hamba Kahle ▸ Sunmi - Heroine (주인공) ▸ Sunwoojunga (선우정아) - Classic ▸ Taeyeon (태연) - Make Me Love You ▸ Yoon Mirae (윤미래) - Fly Like An Eagle (이글거려) ▸ Younha - Winter Flower (雪中梅) (with RM) While the global dominance of K-pop is well recognized, South Korea offers a far broader and more diverse musical landscape. Beyond K-pop, there are many genres to explore, including alternative music, jazz, trot, rap, traditional folk, and drama ballads. With this in mind, I chose to highlight that diversity by featuring a wide range of styles from the South Korean music scene in this video, as the Eurovision Song Contest (Asia) should be a platform where all forms of music can shine. #eurovision #eurovisionasia #eurovisionasiasongcontest #eurovisionsongcontestasia #esca #easc #eurovisionasia2026 #southkorea #kpop #korea #thailand #bangladesh #bhutan #cambodia #laos #malaysia #nepal #philippines #southkorea #vietnam
