In a historic celebration marking 140 years of diplomatic relations between Korea and Britain, K-pop takes center stage at the renowned Wembley Arena in London on November 8 for the highly anticipated "Korea on Stage" concert. This event, the fourth in its series, represents the first international edition of "Korea on Stage," previously held within the cultural tapestry of Korea.

Initiated in 2020 at the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, "Korea on Stage" made its debut as a unique event spotlighting Korea's rich cultural heritage. Subsequent concerts were hosted at the Gwanghalluwon Garden in Namwon, North Jeolla, and Gyeongbok Palace in central Seoul, captivating audiences with a celebration of the nation's artistic prowess.

For this international debut, an impressive lineup of K-pop artists is set to grace the stage, featuring boy bands such as Ateez, P1Harmony, Xdinary Heroes, xikers, and BoyNextDoor. The ensemble is further enriched with the presence of girl group STACY, rock band Jannabi, rapper Lee Young-ji, and the mesmerizing gayageum (Korean 12-string zither) player, Yageum Yageum. British singer-songwriter Henry Moodie will add a special touch to the event as a guest performer.

Renowned actor Gong Seung-yeon is slated to host the concert, lending her charisma and energy to an evening that promises to be a memorable fusion of cultures and music.

The excitement and essence of "Korea on Stage" will reach a global audience, as the concert will be broadcast on KBS 2TV at the end of November and will also be made available on the streaming service Wavve. It's a testament to the ever-growing influence and appeal of K-pop on the international stage, underscoring the enduring cultural exchange between Korea and the world.
