NIBIRU K-Pop Days brought a major K-pop lineup to Costinești, Romania, for two days filled with live performances, dance covers, DJ sets, and an energetic festival atmosphere. Featuring EVERGLOW, TAEMIN, WHIB, and JEON SOMI, the festival offered fans the opportunity to experience four distinct artists across two days, each bringing their own style and energy to the NIBIRU stage.
EVERGLOW
The first day began with a series of K-pop dance cover performances, setting the mood for an already excited crowd. As anticipation built throughout the venue, EVERGLOW took the stage and immediately delivered one of the most substantial performances of the festival.
The group performed one of the longest setlists during the Kpop Days, giving fans plenty of opportunities to sing, dance, and enjoy a wider selection of their discography. Their set featured a mix of fan-favorite tracks, including LA DI DA, Pirate, Bon Bon Chocolat, SLAY, Can't Be Broken, and more. Each song was met with an enthusiastic response from the crowd, with fans singing along and matching the energy coming from the stage.
EVERGLOW's performance also gave the audience the chance to experience different sides of the group, moving between powerful choreography, energetic songs, and some of their most recognizable hits. The festival stage suited their performance perfectly, with the members making full use of the space and keeping the crowd engaged throughout the set.
As the performance approached its finale, the energy in the venue continued to rise. The group closed their set with DUN DUN, one of their biggest and most iconic hits. The song immediately sent the crowd into another wave of excitement, with fans singing along and cheering until the final moments of the performance. It was a fitting ending to an already packed set and left the audience energized and ready for the next performances of the day.
TAEMIN
After EVERGLOW, the festival continued with more dance cover and DJ performances as the anticipation for TAEMIN's appearance continued to build. Then, finally, it was time for TAEMIN to take the stage.
Opening with Sexy In The Air, TAEMIN immediately transformed the atmosphere. From his first moments on stage, the audience was completely captivated, with the performance receiving an explosive reaction. The combination of his powerful choreography, dancers, and the large festival production made for a striking opening and immediately set the tone for the rest of his set.
Following Sexy In The Air, TAEMIN continued with WANT, one of his most recognizable performances. The song brought an especially strong reaction from the crowd, with fans singing along and matching the energy coming from the stage.
He then performed PERMISSION, giving the Romanian audience the chance to hear one of his newest songs live. The track added a different flavor to the set while still fitting naturally alongside his more established hits, and TAEMIN's choreography once again became one of the central highlights of the performance.
What made TAEMIN's festival appearance particularly memorable was how effortlessly he commanded the stage. Even in a festival environment, where audiences can be divided between different artists and genres, the crowd's attention remained firmly on him. His performance combined precise choreography, strong visuals, and his unmistakable stage presence, creating a show that felt much closer to a standalone TAEMIN concert than a typical festival set.
As the performance reached its scheduled conclusion, the audience clearly was not ready for it to end. Fans began calling him for one more song, and TAEMIN responded to their request by returning for an additional performance. He eventually closed his set with
I Think It's Love, giving the audience one final song to sing along to before he left the stage.
The reaction that followed made it clear just how much of an impact the performance had made. After an already packed day of K-pop performances, TAEMIN's set stood out as one of its defining moments.
But the first day was not over yet.
Following TAEMIN's performance, DJ XENITH took over and kept the atmosphere alive with a high-energy set. His performance provided the perfect transition into the end of the first festival day, with the crowd continuing to dance and enjoy the music.
WHIB
The second day began with another series of K-pop dance cover performances before WHIB took the stage for their European debut. Making their first appearance in Europe at NIBIRU K-Pop Days, the group brought a youthful and energetic presence to the festival with a set featuring Elevate, Kick It, First Love Never Die, Rock the Nation, Bang!, Ddang, Bang Out, and Who's the Next.
WHIB's European debut was met with an enthusiastic response from the festival crowd. Their choreography and upbeat tracks kept the audience engaged from beginning to end, while the performance marked an exciting milestone for the group as they introduced themselves to European fans for the first time.
After WHIB, the festival continued with DJ and dance cover performances, keeping the audience entertained while anticipation grew for JEON SOMI.
JEON SOMI
SOMI made a striking entrance and immediately brought a new wave of energy to the festival. Opening with Closer, she quickly established the playful and vibrant atmosphere that continued throughout her set.
Her performance included Fast Forward, Dumb Dumb, Birthday, What You Waiting For, The Way, and Extra, offering a selection of some of her most recognizable songs. The set moved between high-energy dance tracks and more relaxed moments, allowing SOMI to showcase both her performance skills and charismatic stage presence.
Throughout the performance, SOMI maintained an infectious energy, and the audience responded enthusiastically to each song. Her ability to command the large festival stage made her performance one of the standout moments of the second day.
DJ XENITH returned once again after SOMI, delivering another energetic set and keeping the festival atmosphere alive after the big performances.
With four major K-pop acts, multiple dance cover performances, and DJ sets spread across two days, NIBIRU K-Pop Days created a unique festival experience for K-pop fans in Romania. From EVERGLOW's energetic setlist and TAEMIN's powerful stage presence to WHIB's energetic performance and JEON SOMI's vibrant set, each artist brought something different to Costinești.
The combination of live K-pop performances, dance covers, and DJ sets made NIBIRU K-Pop Days a truly memorable weekend for fans, bringing together artists from different backgrounds and generations of K-pop in a festival atmosphere unlike a traditional standalone concert.
Beyond the performances themselves, NIBIRU offered an incredible atmosphere throughout the entire day, with plenty of places to eat, relax, hang out, and have fun with the fans before and after the shows. The festival felt like a complete experience rather than simply a series of performances.
From discovering new artists and enjoying dance covers to spending time with the K-pop community, there was always something happening around the venue. It created a vibrant and welcoming environment that made the entire weekend feel special.
A huge thank you to Nibiru Festival for giving us the opportunity to be part of Nibiru K-Pop Days, as we’re incredibly grateful for the support and hospitality we had throughout the event.
