015B CONCERT: HOMECOMING

KBS Arena

Oct. 21: Korea’s first music group composed entirely of producers is returning for a 27th-anniversary concert appropriately titled “Homecoming.” The group is coming together for a performance after seven years apart.

They were the first in Korea to invite guest singers to perform songs that they composed and famously regarded a singer’s voice as one of their “instruments.” In this regard, they were able to write songs without considering the characteristic of a particular singer’s voice, instead finding suitable performers for their music. The third album they released, “The Third Wave,” sold a million copies, a testament to their popularity.

The concert’s lineup includes popular vocalists Yoon Jong-shin, Kim Tae-woo, Jo Seong-min and Lee Jang-woo.

The show starts at 6 p.m.

Ticket prices range from 77,000 to 110,000 won.
