Hong Da-bin (DPR LIVE) headlines HITC LA 2026 — only Korean solo act on the bill

Hong Da-bin headlined 88rising's Head In The Clouds LA 2026 on August 8 in Los Angeles, performing solo in front of tens of thousands of fans.

She ran through 14 songs. Jasmine and KISS ME from her DPR LIVE catalog sat alongside Giggles and senseS. Two unreleased tracks got their first live airing that night, though no release date has been announced.

The slot makes her the only Korean solo artist on the HITC LA 2026 headliner list. G-Dragon held it last year at the same festival. HITC is an 88rising-organized event built around introducing Asian artists to global audiences.

Hong Da-bin built her international profile under the stage name DPR LIVE before shifting to her legal name for performances. (The rebrand hasn't slowed the bookings, clearly.)

She plays Waterbomb Sokcho 2026 on August 22.
