Singer Niel from boy band Teen Top will hold his concert-talk show "Niel's Shahan Night" on July 23.

Explained as Niel's "branding concert" project, the concert-talk will be a series of shows by Niel, according to his agency New Entry.

The first concert on July 23 will be held at the Ilchi Art Hall in southern Seoul's Gangnam District and feature singer Jung Yi-han from rock band The Nuts as the guest performer. Tickets for the concert have already been sold out.

"The first episode of the concert on July 23 will be an introduction to the concert project, where Niel will perform his songs, talk to the audience and introduce the show's guest, Jung Yi-han," the agency told the Korea JoongAng Daily on Wednesday.

"Future installments of the concert will see Niel weighing heavier as a talk show host, introducing and talking to the guests of each concert."

Teen Top will also return as a group of four with the album "Teen Top [4SHO]" on July 4. The upcoming album will be the boy band's first new release in three years, following the 2020 special album "To You 2020" and the first album after members Chunji and Ricky finished their mandatory military service.

The album will include a re-recorded version of Teen Top's 2013 hit track "Missing You," as chosen by the fans through the Teen Top Re-cording Project.

The boy band will also hold the "2023 Teen Top we gonna rock it drop it top it hey don't stop it pop it Live" concert — derived from the boy band's 2013 hit dance track "Rocking" — on July 15 and 16 at the Nodeul Island Livehouse in Yongsan District, central Seoul.
