'Korea on Stage in London', a special event celebrating the 140th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and the UK, will be held at Ovo Arena Wembley in London at 7 PM (local time) on November 8. 

While the entire cast was revealed earlier, raising global fans' expectations, various teaser videos were recently sequentially posted on the KBS K-pop YouTube channel, attracting attention.

First, a teaser video of actress Gong Seung-yeon, who's serving as MC, was released. In the video, Gong Seung-yeon shows the beauty of Korea's cultural assets against the backdrop of Jongmyo Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The cultural connection between Korea and the UK was also expressed with the phrase ‘Joseon actor who went to Yeonggili.’ 

Additionally, Jannabi's teaser video was also released. Choi Jeong-hoon said, “I feel like my dream has been half-fulfilled by being able to perform at Wembley, which I have longed for,” and Kim Do-hyung expressed his excitement, saying, “I am excited to share the music of children who grew up listening to British music in Korea.”

Lastly, a video starring Xdinary Heroes was released. The passionate performance of bassist Jooyeon, who becomes a different person whenever he performs, is already arousing the excitement of global fans. 

In particular, Jannabi and Xdinary Heroes are expected to show their pride as a ‘Chosun Band’ through 100% live performances on this day. 

'Korea on Stage' is Korea's first performance featuring cultural assets, and this year, it will be held in London to commemorate the 140th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and the UK. 

Hosted by Gong Seung-yeon, ATEEZ, P1Harmony, STAYC, Jannabi, Lee Young Ji, Xdinary Heroes, xikers, BOYNEXTDOOR, Yageum Yageum, and singer-songwriter Henry Moodie have confirmed their appearances. It is expected that you will be able to feel the touching musical exchange between the two countries through performances of famous songs representing Korea and the UK. 

 

In addition, there is a vlog video with actress Choi Ji-hye that allows you to enjoy Seoul, including Korean cultural assets, food, and experiences, and various events such as Polaroid photos taken with the performers, signed CDs, and free distribution of official goods from the Korea Cultural Heritage Foundation.

I'm a fan of StayC but I'm not getting on a train for 4 hours and sitting through that sausagefest just to see a quick performance.
