2026 Year-End Concerts in Korea: K-Pop, International, and Classic Artists

As 2026 approaches its end, South Korea is preparing for a vibrant season of year-end concerts, offering diverse entertainment options for couples and families. This period is seen as an ideal time for special dates or thoughtful gifts, with a wide array of performances from both domestic and international artists catering to various musical tastes.

Confirmed events include Rain's solo concert 'THE SMOKE' on December 5-6 at Olympic Park Olympic Hall, with tickets from 110,000 to 198,000 KRW. International acts like Khalid will perform 'It's Always Summer Somewhere Tour in Seoul' on December 5 at KINTEX, and FKJ is also scheduled. For older generations, Jo Yong-pil & The Great Birth will hold concerts in Seoul (November 27-29 at KSPO DOME) and Busan (December 12-13 at BEXCO), while Lee Seung-chul's 40th-anniversary concert 'THE VOICE' is set for December 4-6 at KSPO DOME. As of September 27, 2026, no official 2026 year-end concert schedule has been announced for Im Young-woong, though his 'IM HERO - THE STADIUM 2' was held in September 2026.

Local bloggers emphasize that concerts make excellent gifts, especially for parents who appreciate classic artists. They advise checking official booking pages for the most up-to-date information on schedules, ticket prices, and potential changes. For highly anticipated events, preparing one's booking environment in advance is recommended once official dates and details are released.
