Singer Yang Soo-kyung expressed gratitude for younger artists such as BTS and NewJeans performing her songs.

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.

That day, Yang said, "I wondered how free one could be if they lived without singing for a while, and who I really was. Even so, I still wanted to sing. Although I briefly wanted to avoid it, I am still young and have dreams. Circumstances tried to stop me, but time would have been wasted doing so, and I had spent four years preparing. All my pains have healed."

She continued, "The period from the late 1980s to the 2000s was the golden age of Korean pop music, and fortunately, I was loved as well. It wasn't because I was outstanding; it seems I was just lucky."

In particular, regarding the recent buzz around her song "Meaning of You" at the Gucci After Party, Yang said, "A person named Peggy Goo selected my song for his DJ set, and later his son told me he was grateful. Later, when BTS and NewJeans members sang my songs, I was surprised and felt very happy."

Yang will kick off a nationwide tour starting with a performance on October 18 at the CCC Stage of Seoul Cube Convention Center. 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 chapter in her musical career with deeper vocals and emotion.

The concert will feature representative hit songs that have shone in Korean pop history, including "Love Is Like Rainwater Outside the Window," "Where Are You," and "Love Is a Cold Temptation," along with new tracks showcasing Yang's signature emotive vocal tone.

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

Yang established herself as an original Hallyu star by winning five consecutive first-place awards on "Gayo Top Ten," receiving the Japan NHK Asia Five-Star Award, and the ABU (Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union) Popular Singer Award. In 1994, she participated in the White Night Festival in Eastern Europe and won the grand prize.
