Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law attended the first of four BIGBANG concerts at Kai Tak Sports Park on Friday evening, posting photos on social media to describe the atmosphere as electric.
Law wrote that BIGBANG had told her they had never held four concerts in the same city before, adding that Hong Kong had set a new record this time. She said she was not a VIP — the group's official fandom name — but was still very excited to be there.
Law also revealed she had hosted senior partners from overseas who were full of praise for the venue's facilities and the atmosphere. 'This kind of positive word of mouth is the energy that keeps us going,' she said.
BIGBANG's four-night concert run at the newly opened Kai Tak Sports Park is one of the first major international performances at the venue, which is expected to boost Hong Kong's status as a regional entertainment hub.
The appearance by the culture minister underscores the government's efforts to promote large-scale cultural and sporting events, in line with its strategy to attract international visitors and stimulate the local economy.
