K-pop girl group Crayon Pop, whose car engine cylinder-like choreography in their music video became viral last year, became the opening act for pop star Lady Gaga’s concert the US.
The five-member group performed their internet sensation single “Bar Bar Bar” in Lady Gaga’s “ArtRave: The Artpop Ball” concert tour in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on June 26 (June 27 in Manila).
It was a dream come true for Crayon Pop members, who rose to fame last year with their unique choreography and helmet costumes.
Lady Gaga herself announced on Twitter last March that the Korean act would be opening for her concert.
“I’m excited to announce June 26 through July 22 of Lady Gaga’s artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball will be opened by CRAYON POP!” she posted.
In the Milwaukee concert, Lady Gaga tweeted about Crayon Pop’s opening act.
“Our newest opener CRAYON POP is on RIGHT NOW AND SO CUTE! K-pop in Milwaukee #changinglives,” she wrote.
After their performance, Crayon Pop member Ellin tweeted that they were amazed by Lady Gaga’s stage presence.
“We have successfully finished our first stage with Lady Gaga. We were amazed by her stage presence and hope to be like that someday,” she wrote.
Crayon Pop debuted in 2012 and rose to internet fame when they released the music video for “Bar Bar Bar” in June last year.
The song eventually landed on the top spot on Billboard’s K-pop Hot 100 chart. They won the music chart award on KBS “Music Bank” over EXO’s “Growl” in August last year.
“Bar Bar Bar” has amassed 18 million views to date.
After Milwaukee, Crayon Pop will be performing in Lady Gaga’s concerts until July in Atlantic City, Boston, Montreal, Buffalo, Toronto, Chicago, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
