Major Stars Celebrate the Season during December Concerts

 

Major Stars Celebrate the Season during December Concerts

Though business events closed during the December holiday season, Coex remained open ?while exhibition halls and meeting rooms were converted into mega-concert venues. This year, Coex welcomed three hugely popular performers: comedic duo Cultwo, rock star Lee Seung-cheol, and R&B superstars Bobby Kim and Gummy.

Cultwo is a classic comedy duo made of comedians Kim Tae-gyun and Jeong Chan-woo. Always irreverent and hilarious, and sometimes controversial, the two veteran gagmen are well-loved by the Korean public and are regular fixtures on monolithic comedy show "Ut-chat-sa", or "People Looking for Laughs". 'Cultwo Christmal Show' was held from December 22nd to 31st in Coex Hall C, which has a capacity of 10,000.

Lee Seung-cheol is one of Korea's biggest rock icons. Formerly lead vocalist of legendary group Boohwal, the singer has branched out to a solo career, embracing a new pop-rock sound. He is currently a judge on hit music contest show Superstar K, a program which has received attention and contestants from around the world. The Lee Seung-Cheol Christmas Concert was held every day from December 22nd to 25th in Coex Hall D, which holds 6,000 guests.

R&B has been one of Korea's most popular music genres ever since Korean-American repatriates brought about a soul and rap movement in the 1990's. Bobby Kim was one of the leaders of Korea's early rap movement and later ventured into soul and R&B. In 2011, his career was re-kindled after being featured on television program I am a Singer, the country's most-watched show of the year. At 'The Vocalist' Christmas Concert on December 31st, Bobby Kim was joined by Gummy, a new-generation R&B diva with a flourishing career in both Korea and Japan.
