Boy band Highlight [AROUND US ENTERTAINMENT]

Boy band Highlight will meet its fans face-to-face today for the first time in three years and six months.

According to its agency Around US Entertainment, the band's solo concert “Highlight Live 2022 ‘Intro’” will take place at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in southern Seoul from Friday to Sunday.

The band’s last offline concert titled "Outro" was in 2018. It is also the band’s first concert since it released its 3rd EP “The Blowing” in May 2021 and its first full-length album “Daydream” this March.

Tickets for all three performances are sold out.

The concert on Sunday will be livestreamed via the Idol Live app.

Originally active as boy band Beast, it changed its name to Highlight in 2016 after former members Jang Hyun-seung and Yong Jun-hyung dropped out of the band. The four current members are Yoon Du-jun, Yang Yo-seop, Lee Gi-kwang and Son Dong-woon.
