You've got some updates on NCT member DOYOUNG and his solo concert. Please fill us in.
DOYOUNG is adding to his solo concerts after receiving an explosive response from the fans. The “2025 DOYOUNG CONCERT ,” scheduled to be held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul on June 14th and 15th, sold out both days just with fan club pre-sales. So the artist has decided to hold an additional show on June 13th. The tickets for it will be available on May 12th for fan club pre-sales and May 13th for general sales.
Since DOYOUNG’s first solo concert at Kyung Hee University Peace Hall in Seoul last year, he has been expanding the scale of his concerts every time.
Meanwhile, DOYOUNG is set to release his second solo album on June 9th.
One more chance for DOYOUNG’s fans to get their hands on the tickets.
For our next story, we stay on the note of music, but this time it’s a rock festival. Which festival are we talking about?
We are talking about the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival. It has revealed the first names on this year’s lineup that features a blend of legendary acts and rising stars from around the globe.
First, the iconic Britpop band, Pulp, is headlining the festival. It’s Pulp’s first-ever concert in Korea. The band, formed in 1978, rose to prominence in the 90s with their hit songs like “Babies” and “Common People.” They recently announced the release of their new album, titled “More,” in June -a first release in 24 years.
Some Korean artists featured in the line-up are singer-songwriter Chang Ki-ha, vocalist Song Sohee, and the band Hyukoh, who will team up with Taiwanese indie band Sunset Rollercoaster.
The 2025 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival will be held from August 1st to 3rd at Songdo Moonlight Festival Park in Incheon. This year, the festival celebrates its 20th anniversary and about 60 domestic and international artists are expected to perform.
It's interesting to see Song Sohee in the lineup, as she used to be a popular traditional folk singer and now has transformed into a contemporary music singer-songwriter.
Lastly, we are going to move onto Netflix. Korean Netflix series are doing amazing, so it’s exciting to hear about a new release, especially when it’s a first for Korea?
The first Korean original animated film on Netflix, “Lost in Starlight,” is set to be released on May 30th.
The film, taking place in Seoul in the year 2050, depicts a romance between astronaut Nan-young, who dreams of Mars exploration, and Jay, who has put aside his dream of becoming a musician.
It is the work of director Han Ji-won, who rose to prominence in the Korean animation scene as a pioneer after winning the Grand Award at the Seoul Indie-Ani Fest with her debut work “Kopi Luwak.”
Actors Kim Tae-ri and Hong Kyung lend their voices to Nan-young and Jay respectively.
If you want to catch Korea’s first-ever original animated film on Netflix, make sure to check it out on May 30th.
Excited to see how well a Korean animation will do on Netflix. Thank you Bella for today’s stories.
