November 4, 2016

SEOUL, Nov. 4 (Yonhap) — First generation K-pop boy group “god” will set off on a nationwide tour through the first two months of next year, the event’s organizer said Friday.

The band’s upcoming tour, entitled “2017 god to MEN Concert,” will kick off its series of exclusive concerts at Jamsil Stadium in southeastern Seoul from Jan. 6-8, followed by five other major cities including Incheon, Daegu, Goyang, Gwangju and Busan, SJ Entertainment said.

The five-member act returned to the music scene as a group in 2014, the first in nine years after it released its seventh album in 2005, which stirred up an immediate sense of nostalgia among fans, sweeping the No. 1 spot in various local music charts.

“In the upcoming concerts, the band will perform its famous hits ‘The Lone Duckling,’ ‘Road’ and ‘Lie,’ to name a few, enriched with orchestral accompaniment,” the event’s organizers added. “Stay tuned for the K-pop pioneers’ series of concerts as they return classy in tuxedos.”

Tickets can be purchased on Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. through the Interpark website at ticket.interpark.com.
