Yoon Mi-rae confirms July release, solo concerts

Hip-hop legend Yoon Mi-rae on Tuesday confirmed the release of her studio album next month, along with concerts that will be her first as a solo artist in 12 years.

According to Feel Good Music, Yoon will perform at Jangchoong Stadium in Seoul from July 14-15. The concerts are titled “YOONMIRAE,” which carries the meaning that they will feature music that only she can make.

“The solo concerts will be filled with ‘Yoon Mi-rae’ as she is,” the agency said.

Yoon is currently preparing for the release of “Gemini2,” a follow-up to her solo album “Gemini” that was released in 2002. She prereleased “No Gravity” and “Kawi Bawi Bo” from the album earlier this year.

Yoon is one of the top rappers in Korea, along with her husband Tiger JK, who is set to release his last album under the name “Drunken Tiger” later in the year.

Tickets for her concert opened on the local music platform Melon at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
