K-pop fans in Portugal, take note, there is a group making waves, and they are about to touch down in Lisbon for the first time. Meet TRENDZ, a seven-member boy group steadily gaining recognition for their sharp performances and powerful messages. As part of their “GLOW” European tour, TRENDZ will be performing across seven countries - and yes, Portugal made the list.
But before the show, let’s get to know who they are and also why you might want to pay attention!
Who is TRENDZ?
TRENDZ debuted in January 2022 under Interpark Music Plus, and they have been carving out a space for themselves ever since. The group is made up of Havit, Leon, Yoonwoo, Hankook (leader), ra.L, Eunil, and Yechan. They may not come from one of the “Big 4” K-pop companies, but that has not stopped them from building a solid reputation for intense choreography, bold concepts, and a clear artistic vision.
Their name - TRENDZ - is more than just branding. They aim to reflect and shape the trends of their generation through music that speaks to youth, identity, and change. Whether it is the darker, dramatic energy of their title tracks or the more emotional, reflective side of their B-sides, they have shown surprising range for such a young group.
What makes them stand out?
From the start, TRENDZ’s concept has leaned into a mix of futuristic storytelling and emotional depth. Their music videos often feature symbolic visuals, layered storylines, and a strong sense of purpose. Tracks like “VAGABOND”, “NEW DAYZ,” and “MY WAY” showcase their ability to shift between aggression and vulnerability, often within the same song.
TRENDZ in Lisbon: Why this show matters
It is not every day a rising K-pop group includes Portugal in their first European tour. TRENDZ choosing to perform in Lisbon is not just exciting for fans but also meaningful. It shows that the group and their team recognise the growing K-pop audience in Portugal and want to connect directly.
For fans attending the show, it is a rare chance to see a fast-rising group in a more personal, up-close setting. And for those unfamiliar with them? This might be the perfect opportunity to experience something fresh, energetic, and full of potential.
Where to start?
If you are new to TRENDZ, here are a few tracks to dive into:
“NEW DAYZ”: A blend of catchy hooks and emotional themes about youth and change.
“WHO [吼]”: Darker, intense, and theatrical - perfect if you enjoy cinematic vibes.
“MY WAY”: A more reflective track that shows their emotional side and vocal ability.
TRENDZ might not (yet) be a household name in the global K-pop scene, but that is what makes this moment so exciting. Lisbon will be one of the first cities to witness their live performance energy up close which is a chance to discover a group on the rise, right before the world catches up.
Whether you are a long-time K-pop fan or someone curious about what the genre has to offer, TRENDZ’s upcoming Lisbon show is definitely worth checking out.
