K-Pop star Jung Kook has made history as the first Korean artist to perform at the World Cup.
The BTS star debuted his new solo single and the official World cup anthem ‘Dreamers’ on Sunday 20th November 2022 at the opening ceremony for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Jung Kook performed the RedOne-produced ‘Dreamers’ alongside featured guest and Qatari singer Fahad Al Kubaisi.
Clad in a sparkly black jacket, the South Korean ‘Michael Jackson’ showed off his energetic dancing moves along with a bunch of backup dancers.
“Look who we are, we are the dreamers/ We make it happen, ’cause we believe it,” he sings in the motivational single.
‘Dreamers’ marks Jung Kook’s latest solo single following ‘Stay Alive’ and the Charlie Puth-featuring ‘Left & Right.’
On Friday, Nicki Minaj, Maluma and Myriam Fares shared their World Cup anthem ‘Tukoh Taka,’ which joined a slew of singles promoting the tournament released earlier this year.
The World Cup started with a reggae-afrobeats fusion track ‘Hayya Hayya’ (Better Together) featuring Trinidad Cardona, Davido and Aisha. Ozuna and Gims released ‘Arhbo,’ Sebastián Yatra and Moroccan star Mouamane Baliaacchi released ‘Ulayeh,’ and Los Bukis dropped ‘Vamos a Qatar.’
The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicked off with an opening ceremony and host nation Qatar’s match against Ecuador. It’s the first time in the event’s 92-year history a host team has lost their opening game after Ecuador’s 2-0 win.
A total of 32 teams will participate in the World Cup before one is crowned champion on Dec. 18
