September is heating up in the trot music scene with new singles, album releases, and major concerts.
Singer Jeon Yu-jin will release her digital single "To My Stars" at noon on September 1 across various music platforms. This song precedes her debut full-length album set to be released in October and is her first new track in about six months since "Gayo Gayo" in March.
"To My Stars" marks the first time Jeon Yu-jin has participated in writing lyrics since her debut. The song expresses her feelings and gratitude towards those who have supported her during her growth as an artist, having gained attention at a young age. She first performed the song at her solo fan concert "TWENTY-ONE" held at the Woori Financial Art Hall in Seoul on August 29-30, prior to its official release.
Following Jeon Yu-jin, Lim Young-woong will continue the momentum with a stadium concert and a new album in early September. He is set to hold "IM HERO - THE STADIUM 2" at the Goyang Sports Complex in Goyang City from September 4 to 6. This concert is his second stadium-sized solo performance, following the "IM HERO - THE STADIUM" held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in 2024.
During this concert, Lim Young-woong will also preview ten tracks from his upcoming special digital album "IM HERO 10," which will be released on September 8. The album features six new songs, including "Moise," "Baila," "Tto Tto," "Please Be Happy," "To Us Who Have Lived," and "New York," along with new versions of his debut song "I Hate You" and others, totaling ten tracks.
The album is a special release prepared to celebrate Lim Young-woong's 10th anniversary since his debut on August 8. The title track is "Tto Tto," which he co-wrote and composed. The music video for "Tto Tto" will be released a day earlier, on September 7 at 6:16 PM, while the full album will be available on music platforms on September 8 at 6 PM.
On September 14, Young-tak will take the baton with the release of his third studio album "GOGO" at 6 PM. This marks his first regular album in about three years since his second album "FORM" released in August 2023.
"GOGO" includes the title track "Kkeokkeo" and features 12 songs, such as "Penguin," "Psycho World," "Dosi Rasol Pamiredo," "Vintage Love," "Heo Heo (虛虛)," "Old Radio," "The Weather is Nice," "Temporary Save," "I Can't Sleep Tonight," "VIDA LOCA," and "PACEMAKER." Notably, Young-tak participated in writing, composing, and arranging 11 of the tracks, excluding "I Can't Sleep Tonight."
After the album activities, Young-tak will meet fans through concerts. He will hold his solo concert "TAK SHOW5" at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul from October 3 to 5, followed by a nationwide tour to Jeonju, Daegu, Incheon, and Busan.
At the end of September, Kim Yong-bin's first solo concert is on the horizon. He will hold his first solo concert titled "Serenade" at the Ticketlink Live Arena in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul, on September 19-20. This concert marks the first time he will perform under his own name since his debut in 2004. The performances will start at 5 PM on both days.
Interest in ticket sales has been high. Tickets went on sale on August 10 at 8 PM and sold out within about 60 seconds. Kim Yong-bin later shared on his social media that he attempted to buy tickets himself but was unsuccessful.
September, opening with Jeon Yu-jin's new single, is set to be a busy month for fans of these artists, with a flurry of new songs, albums, and concert schedules lined up.
