Singer Shim Su-bong, who sparked controversy by publicly criticizing a junior singer, is set to take the stage in October.

Shim will hold her solo concert, 'The Shim Su-bong Show,' at Baekun Art Hall in Gangwon Province on October 31. Since August, she has been continuing her nationwide tour schedule, visiting various locations across the country including Paju, Busan, Seoul, and Daejeon.

This performance is drawing attention as it will be her first stage appearance since she publicly criticized junior singer Kim Da-hyun on the stage of the '10th Jinan Plateau Trot Festival' on the 20th.

At the time, Shim referred to Kim as a "young lady" and stated, "It seems like a lady who doesn't know what singing is or what life is. It was very exhausting listening to her sing." She added, "Please do not send that player out in front of me from now on," and said, "Singing is not something to be done so casually. One must experience life and go through hardships."

However, as the remarks sparked controversy, Shim ultimately acknowledged them as a "misstatement" and apologized, saying, "I made inappropriate words that went beyond common sense at an inappropriate moment at a festival where everyone should be laughing and enjoying themselves. Even if I had ten mouths, I have nothing to say."

Subsequently, Shim spoke directly with Kim by phone to convey her apology. Kim also stated that she would compose herself after the call with Shim, and took the stage during the Chuseok holiday as well.
