Organisers say band received overwhelming response from their fans at the KBS Arena in Seoul

Nepathya, one of the most popular musical groups in the country, performed at a sold-out venue in South Korea on Thursday.

The show organiser, Nepalaya, said the band received an overwhelming response from their fans at the KBS Arena in Seoul, so much so that many could not enter the venue.

Many who had travelled a long distance for the show could not enter due to the overspill of concert-goers, Nepalaya said in a statement.

The show was hosted by Tamang Sangh on the occasion of a three-day South Korean harvest festival known as Chuseok.

Uina Singh Tamang, of the Sangh, said for immigrant Nepalis, Chuseok is the time to organise get-together parties just like the Nepali festival of Dashain.
