This is a festival created by Vietnamese people, with a vibrant street culture spirit, rich in identity, yet modern and creative.

Currently, GENfest is the leading entertainment event in Ho Chi Minh City, attracting the attention of young people who eagerly anticipate new information and the official ticket sales launch. While 2023 saw GENfest successfully bring the "Queen of K-pop" Lee Hyori to Vietnam for the first time, along with the "Sexy Queen" HyunA and the "Digital Music Monsters" Zico and Zion.T, GENfest 2024 will feature Hwasa and LOCO.

Hwasa was honored by Forbes in its 2021 30 Under 30 Asia list and consistently ranks highly in the "Girl Group Member Brand Index" of the Korea Business Research Institute. She was also ranked by Gallup Korea as one of the most popular K-pop idols for two consecutive years, 2019 and 2020.

The quantity and quality of each set at GENfest far surpass the shorter performances (3 to 4 songs per artist) often seen at other music festivals.
