….. !! KABOOM !! …..

"KABOOM" A fusion of past in present 

 "KABOOM  케쎄라쎄라"  is a surprising performance along with creativity of "KOLLEEN PARK", who not only provide a single platform of entertainment but also bring the past with present. The show was designed for entertainment in four categories:

Va Va Voom - "Female trio that touches the soul, fusion Korean classical music"
Morning of Owl - "World's number 1 B-boy team"
Magic Trunk - "Storytelling magic show"
PID (Performance in the Darkness) - "You can't take your eyes off it, black light laser performance!"


It was Saturday, June 7 2014, when i had opportunity to watch the KABOOM along with my best buddy. Thanks for Korea Tourism organization for providing us a remarkable opportunity to enjoy the artistic performance with fusion of Korean traditional music.  

"Va Va Voom"

Va Va Voom accompanying with the recorded K-pop instrumentals giving a astonishing performance on traditional zithers and drums, switching instruments, playing to the crowd and performing well. The performance and great source of recreation for traditional music lovers with modern beat.




Kaboom was not only music but also about the dance. Morning of Owl offered some impressive b-boy skills comprises with their specific break dance that was occasionally combined with traditional tunes. They are a talented potential professional mixing the Korean traditional beats and music with the frenzied spins, kicks and body pops. 

"Magic Trunk"

Magic Trunk managed to combine a simple tragic story with some old tricks done well. Nothing new or original for magic fans, but they pulled off each trick with panache and it's always great to see quick changes and other flashy routines done with style.

PID were the showstoppers. An exciting team of night offering different dance sequences but no doubt they stolen the show with their fabulous performance, sparkling choreography and amazing creativity with use of technology. Their last but not least sequence of dancing was introducing the robotic movement into the house. I recommend PID was alone the worth of ticket price (Although I enjoyed it free).  

Performance in darkness














Kaboom located at Jongo-3-ga station of subway line 1,3 & 5 along with a nice set, nicely facilitated with comfortable sound and comfortable sitting facilities according to the demand of the enjoying the thrills of music.


The real story of the show was acting different by doing their own created things and its worth taking. As Kaboom pamphlet proclaims "Forget about stories. Enjoy pure pleasure beyond your imagination" and there were indeed moments of pure pleasure in my evening, though I do wish it had been a more cohesive sequence of acts and not just a series of unrelated incidents. Thanks to KTO for making a memorable movements.
