K-pop girl group Billlie performed and met local fans at the Korea Spotlight 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. 

Korea Spotlight 2025 is an international music showcase event hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea and organized by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA). This year, the event took place in Germany, Japan, Mexico, Vietnam, and Spain. 

Besides Billlie, Korean artists like Chung Ha, NouerA, Big Ocean, and Shaun also participated in the event in Spain. 

Billlie opened their set with the group’s hit song, “Ring ma Bell (what a wonderful world),” which immediately raised the energy among the audience. They also performed “Flipp!ng a coin,” “Domino ~ butterfly effect,” and “Eunoia.” 

They also prepared a special performance for the local fans, with a cover of “Ojos Tristes (with The Marías)” by Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, a hit song that won the Best Collaboration at the Premios Juventud 2025. 

As the song is well-loved in the region, Billlie’s cover received an enthusiastic response from the local audience. They ended the set with “GingaMingaYo (the strange world).”

Billlie became very active in 2025 domestically and internationally. They participated in major international events such as Kansai Collection 2025 A/W, Japan’s largest fashion event, Otakon 2025 in Washington, D.C., one of the biggest Asian pop-culture conventions in the US, and K-Expo UAE, the Middle East’s largest expo about Korean content. 

They also appeared on Apple TV+’s “Kpopped” and performed with Patti LaBelle and Megan Thee Stallion in September. 

Earlier in November, Billlie’s first unit group, Moon Sua X Siyoon, collaborated with ARrC on “WoW (Way of Winning) (with Moon Sua X Siyoon)” in ARrC’s second single album, “CTRL+ALT+SKIID.” 

Billlie’s member Siyoon will also join global cast members like Arden Cho (“KPop Demon Hunters”) and Adeline Rudolph (“Mortal Kombat II”) in an upcoming Hollywood film, “Perfect Girl,” for her acting debut.
