Korea’s acclaimed female jazz musician WoongSan (real name: Kim Eun-young) has launched a concert tour in Japan to celebrate her fifth regular album, “Close Your Eyes.” Her tour starts in Osaka on February 4th, followed by stops in Nagoya, Shizuoka, Yokohama, Hokkaido, Sapporo, and Tokyo. The tour is due last until March 2nd.
WoongSan was the first Korean to perform on the stages of Blue Note and Billboard Live, where she was invited to sing again during the tour. Music experts are saying that she is pioneering a new Hallyu genre with jazz. WoongSan’s fifth album was first released in Japan last December and selected a gold disk by 60-year Japanese jazz magazine Swing Journal. She will introduce her fifth album in Korea in March and hold concerts titled “Windy Spring” at the Sejong Performing Arts Center in Seoul on March 27th and 28th. Her latest work is included in the original soundtrack album of KBS drama “The Slave Hunters.”
