Singer Yang Soo-kyung shared her thoughts on announcing new songs and embarking on a nationwide tour.

On the afternoon of the 26th at 2 p.m., Yang held a press conference at YTN Hall in Sangam-dong, Seoul, where she spoke about her new project. Attendees included Yang, Good Concert Choi Min-seon (CEO), and Shine Entertainment Art Director Lee Si-chan.

Yang greeted the audience by saying, "I mustered the courage to start anew." She added, "I dreamed of and worked hard for the opportunity to hold a nationwide tour, and now that chance has come. I am happy that as a singer, I can prepare for performances." She also remarked, "I am 62 this year. I have many carelessnesses and flaws, but I want to live by filling them with singing."

She continued, "This is the first nationwide concert since 1992. I have consistently released singles up until recently and wanted to invest in my album. I prepared for my 10th album, but since there are many shortcomings, I plan to unveil it during the concerts."

Yang will kick off her nationwide journey with a performance at Cube Convention Center CCC Stage in Seoul on October 18, meeting fans across the country. This nationwide tour is expected to be a special stage expressing gratitude to fans who have given unwavering love and support over the years, while also marking the beginning of a new musical chapter with deeper vocals and emotion.

At this concert, Yang will perform representative hit songs that have shone in Korean music history, including "Love Is Like Rainwater Outside the Window," "Where Are You?", and "Love Is a Cold Temptation," alongside new song performances showcasing her unique, emotionally resonant vocal tone.

Yang began her singing career in 1984 as a second-year high school student, marking her 41st year since debut this year. After appearing on KBS's "New Talent Stage" in 1986, she officially debuted in 1988 with her first album "Leaving Heart," releasing numerous hit songs such as "Love Is Like Rainwater Outside the Window," "You Are," and "Where Does the End of Parting Lie?" to gain widespread popularity.

Yang secured her status as an original Hallyu star by winning five consecutive number-one spots on "Gayo Top Ten," receiving the Japan NHK Asia Five-Star Award, and earning the Popular Singer Award at the ABU (Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union) Song Festival. In 1994, she participated in the White Nights Festival in Eastern Europe and won the grand prize.
