WAY BETTER WORLD TOUR brings K-pop to 12 Brazil stops

From Porto Alegre to Rio, the WAY BETTER WORLD TOUR brings HELLO GLOOM, from20 and two more Korean acts to Brazil in March and April.

Brazil’s K-pop boom is set for another major moment with the 2026 WAY BETTER WORLD TOUR: GLOBAL WARMING. The run covers 12 cities, opening on March 25 and wrapping on April 22. Production is handled by K-Beat Entertainment.

WAY BETTER WORLD TOUR: 12-city Brazil route

Rather than focusing only on a few capitals, the tour spreads out to reach fans in multiple regions. Porto Alegre kicks things off, then Florianópolis and São Paulo. Next come Goiânia and Brasília, followed by Northeast and North dates, ending in Rio de Janeiro.

The bill features HELLO GLOOM, from20, KANG YUCHAN (A.C.E) and LIM SEJUN (VICTON). All four are part of WAY BETTER, a South Korean company built around solo careers and artist-driven pop projects.

The quote comes from Junwon Park, director at K-Beat, which is producing the Brazil dates. The concept highlights closer venues, a varied setlist, and room for each artist’s individual identity on stage.

What is WAY BETTER

WAY BETTER is an independent Korean artist collective founded by from20 and HELLO GLOOM. The project emphasizes creative freedom and artistic authenticity, positioning itself outside the usual K-pop playbook.

The company also works across audiovisual and fashion, guided by the motto “Better Dreams, Better Things and Better Ways.” The artists recently released the joint single “119.”

Meet the lineup

from20 first entered the industry as a member of BIGSTAR, which ended activities in 2019. His solo career began in March 2021 with the digital release 1st Single [20; Still Greedy For Juicy, I’m Kissing This 20], marking a more self-directed phase. One of his best-known tracks is “Eye Candy.”

HELLO GLOOM, also known as Ungjae, is a singer, songwriter and rapper, credited as the author of “Mamacita.” He was part of IMFACT until the group ended in 2022, the same year he launched his solo era with the EP Because I Was Young Boy.

KANG YUCHAN (A.C.E), formerly known as Chan, works as a singer, actor and musical theatre actor. He is A.C.E’s youngest member and also joined the project group UNB. In March 2025, A.C.E’s contract with Beat Interactive was announced to be ending; in April, Yuchan signed with WAY BETTER. His solo debut arrived in July 2025 with the digital single “Champagne Poppin.” He also appeared in the web drama Twenty-Twenty.

LIM SEJUN (VICTON) is a singer and songwriter known for VICTON, which debuted in 2016. After leaving IST Entertainment in late 2024, he signed with WAY BETTER in February 2025. His solo debut came in May 2025 with “You’re My Summer,” released ahead of his first Asia fan meeting tour.
