Special Performances by K-pop Stars
Adding to the excitement, SHINee MINHO will open both nights as the narrator, setting the tone for this remarkable event. On February 15, Red Velvet WENDY will grace the stage with a special performance alongside renowned conductor Yuwon Kim and the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, promising an awe-inspiring showcase of musical artistry.
The February 14 concert will also feature mesmerizing media art displays. It promises a visually immersive experience that perfectly complements the orchestral renditions.
