South Korean singer and songwriter KINO made his American festival debut on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the iHeartRadio 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango Village in Huntington City Beach.

His performance featured a standout outfit that drew attention on both the stage and the red carpet. KINO made a notable entrance wearing a mask, which he later removed to reveal his true self to the audience. This act represented his wish for acceptance and liberation from judgment and validation.

KINO captivated the audience with his compelling stage presence and impressive versatility, seamlessly transitioning between genres such as energetic rock, soulful piano ballads, and catchy pop, all while actively engaging with his fans.

As a member of the K-Pop group PENTAGON, KINO has been establishing himself as a solo artist, merging influences from pop, R&B, and rock in his music. He delighted the crowd by singing popular tracks such as “Skyfall” and “Everglow,” along with other singles that resonated with both dedicated fans and newcomers. The audience sang along and cheered throughout the set, eagerly looking forward to the next steps in KINO's solo journey.

The pre-show took place on the vibrant festival grounds of iHeartRadio’s 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango, presented by Fiji Airways, featuring food trucks, brand activations, and live performances from global superstars, all creating a lively beachside festival atmosphere. The main event, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, showcased performances by chart-topping artists such as Doja Cat, Gwen Stefani, Meghan Trainor, and David Guetta.
