Japanese legend idol Masahiko Kondo () will hold his first concert in Korea 47 years after his debut, meeting domestic fans.

Concert organizer Takiel announced on the 11th that 'Masahiko Kondo ~Omachitashimasu 2026! Special in Seoul' will be held on June 27 at 5 p.m. at Seoul Yongsan-gu Blue Square Won Banking Hall.

Although Masahiko Kondo has recently met Korean fans through various stages, this is his first solo concert in Korea. As the first Korean concert of a star who dominated an era and is called a 'living legend,' domestic fans' attention is focused on him. Masahiko Kondo plans to present a diverse lineup including his hit songs and special stages.

Masahiko Kondo debuted as an actor in 1979 and topped the Oricon charts the following year with 'Sneaker Blues (スニーカーぶる〜す).' He then won the 'Golden Idol Award' at the 23rd Japan Record Awards in 1981 and secured the prestigious 'Grand Prize' at the 29th Japan Record Awards in 1987 with 'Orokamono (か),' establishing himself as a top star.

In particular, his representative song 'Gingira Gin ni Sarigenaku (ギンギラギンにさりげなく)' caused a phenomenon-level popularity when released in 1981, captivating not only Japan but also the youth in Korea. The song was re-examined through Sumida Aiko's performance on MBN's 'Korea-Japan King of Singers' in 2024, and the video has continued to gain enduring popularity, surpassing 13 million views to date.

Masahiko Kondo first appeared on Korean television through MBN's 'Korea-Japan Top Ten Show' in 2024. The following year, in 2025, he served as a judge on Fuji TV's 'Korea-Japan King of Singers Japan Round' and MBN's '2025 Korea-Japan King of Singers,' continuously connecting with Korean fans. In the same year, on Nippon TV's 'The Music Day 2025,' he shared a joint stage with the group TWS (Tours) for 'Gingira Gin ni Sarigenaku,' creating a major sensation with a meeting that transcended borders and generations.

Meanwhile, concert tickets will be available for reservation at NOL Ticket starting at 6 p.m. on May 11.
