We had people in charge of the live broadcasting via twitter (Nathy from SHINee Peru and Pamis from TVXQ Peru), recording (Sonia from Kasoo Store), and a professional photographer in charge of taking the best pictures (Pedro Ricardo).

Our staff was ready to do their best.

3:20pm: The show begins. The MC’s were Rosa y Rossana from SHINee Peru.

We began with the CULTURAL HOUR, in which we had members of the Agency of International Cooperation of Korea (KOICA) display traditional Korean clothing, the Hanbok, and also talk about Korean traditions.

After that, there was a presentation by the Peruvian Federation of Taekwondo, who taught us about this art.

Finally, members of International Youth Foundation (IYF) had a special number followed by some words by Mr. Victor Vela, a representative of IYF. They finished with a traditional Korean dance.

The Schedule continued, always expressing our gratitude to the people and institutions that supported us.

4:00pm: SM TOWN IN PERU HOUR began. We started off with the introduction of the leaders of the SM fans clubs in Peru, who thanked the audience for their support..

We prepared special presentations of dance groups who performed the following songs:

  • Super Junior’s Bonamana
  • SNSD’s Oh!
  • TVXQ’s Keep Your Head Down
  • F(x)’s Danger
  • SHINee’s Lucifer

All the people sang along as well as the fanchants.

Then, our main project was to dance to SM’s Let’s Go on a Trip, so all the members of the dance groups simulated the real artists and made the audience dance along.

After this, we took our time to show a special demonstration of our gratitude to the two Korean institutions who gave us all their support, KBS World Radio and Seoul International Drama Awards.

Finally, SM TOWN HOUR closed with the presentation of the song Star Star Star by SNSD.

5:00pm: K-POP HOUR started with the presentation of dance groups who performed 2PM and Teen Top songs.

Before the event ended, we had the free drawings for OST’s, DVD’s and books donated by KBS World Radio and Seoul International Drama Awards, as well as some products donated by the Korean Embassy in Peru.

The event finished with the participation of almost FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE (4000), a number that was confirmed by the members of the City Hall and the members of our staff who were at the entrance at all times.

All the people were more than happy, the proof being the hundreds of positive comments left on our Facebook, Blog and twitter accounts.
