Rising K-Pop group A.C.E, visited Jakarta for the first time last Saturday, July 27th 2019 at Central Park Mall. A.C.E was invited to perform for the K-Food Fair 2019 event.

K-Food Fair held various activities related to Korean culture, especially activities that introduced Korean food.
A.C.E started their careers in 2017. Within two years, A.C.E have released a total of two albums, titled ‘Adventures in Wonderland‘ and ‘Under Cover‘. Jun, Donghun, Wow, Kim Byeongkwan and Chan just held their first concert in Seoul last June 2019 called ‘Under Cover – Area No.1 Korea’.
K-Pop Dance Cover from Choice to A.C.E
A.C.E began their career by doing many busking performance in Hongdae area. They usually did cover dances from top K-Pop groups like BTS, EXO, Seventeen and H.O.T then uploaded it on their YouTube Channel. One of their dance covers for BTS’s ‘I Need You’ and ‘Dope’ has reached almost 5 million views already. Aside dancing, they also covered songs from famous singers.
Before A.C.E performed at K-Food Fair’s main stage, a group of dancers and Choice, A.C.E’s fandom name, performed a series of dance covers together. They started with A.C.E’s latest hit ‘Under Cover‘. After that, they danced to various other K-Pop songs such as Bboom Bboom, Change, & Kill this Love.

A.C.E opened their performance by inviting Choice to ‘Take Me Higher‘. The song brought an energetic and cheerful performance that gathered a loud cheers at Tribeca Park that afternoon. After the opening song ended, A.C.E continued with ‘Mr Bass‘, taken from their latest album. ‘Mr Bass’ is known for its signature hip dance, that made Choice cheer loudly.
A.C.E calmed the atmosphere down by singing ‘If You Heard (들린다면)‘. This song was specially created by A.C.E to thank Choice who have supported them all this time. A.C.E closed the evening’s performance with their latest song, ‘Under Cover’. This song was very much anticipated by Indonesia Choices, as seen from the amount of screams that were heard.
Full of Love for Indonesia Choice
A.C.E’s performance that afternoon did not stop after ‘Under Cover’, they also prepared fan-signing events! 50 lucky Choices got the chance to meet face-to-face with them and get the signature of A.C.E’s members. Between sessions, A.C.E took time to greet fans in Bahasa Indonesia. The afternoon’s event ended with a group photo with the audience.
