K-pop girl group ITZY recently garnered praise on social media for their incredible performances at a series of university festivals in South Korea.

Several K-pop groups are part of the artist line-up at these major student festivals in Seoul. However, ITZY stood out for its incredible stage presence and live vocals at the shows.

The K-pop group from JYP Entertainment toured KyungHee University, DongGuk University, and Chung-Ang University in Seoul, where they performed on three consecutive days, i.e., September 29, 30, and October 1.

The group impressed the audience by delivering their powerful dance breaks even while singing live.

Fans couldn't stop gushing about how clear the vocalists Yeji Lia and Chaeryeong sounded even while delivering such a strenuous dance routine. Even the rappers were praised for their formidable stage delivery.

Students who witnessed the performances also shared several screenshots of the conversations post the festival that couldn't stop hailing the K-pop girls for their charisma and energy.

JYP's hitmaker ITZY is known for its incredible stage presence and exhausting routines. The girls powered through heavy hip-hop choreographies with an ease that is seldom seen among female idols in the K-pop industry. Fans also loved the enthusiastic interactions all five members had with the audience during and after the performance.

So it doesn't come as a surprise that fans have loved witnessing the group's globally praised stage abilities in person for the first time since the pandemic.

University festivals in Korea are a free-of-cost way of watching your favorite K-pop acts

South Korea's famous Daedongjae culture has taken campus festivals to a whole new level. The universities are famous for hosting giant K-pop concerts at the end of every academic year for their students to have a gala time.

It is also a unique way for international students to witness their favorite K-pop artists perform their chartbusters free of cost while they study in K-dramaland and pick up the Korean language along with their graduate degrees and diplomas.

Daedongjae refers to the student democratization movement in 1980s, an uprising that was centered in the city of Gwangju against the then-authoritarian government.

Although the festival isn't a commemoration, it does foster a sense of camaraderie across South Korean university campuses.

This year, the festivals witnessed concerts by the biggest names in K-pop, like PSY, ITZY, Winner, and STAYC. Korean rappers like Jessie, pH-1, and Zico also set the stage on fire.
