Cyndi Lauper, a popular American pop star of the 1980s, will hold two concerts in South Korea to mark the 30th anniversary of her debut solo album "She's So Unusual," a local concert agency said Tuesday.
The concerts, her first in South Korea since 1989, will take place at Seoul's Olympic Park on Jan. 23-24, YESCOM Ent. said.
They will be held as part of the "She's So Unusual: 30th Anniversary Tour" that began in June 2013 last year to mark the anniversary. The tour has since visited 56 cities in North America, Asia and Australia.
Lauper rocketed to stardom in 1983 with her debut album that sold 30 million copies worldwide. She has established herself as a pop icon, winning awards at the Grammys, Emmys, Tony Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and American Music Awards.
In 2014, Lauper was awarded the Grammy for best theater musical album for the Broadway musical "Kinky Boots," which she composed and wrote the music for.
Tickets for the Seoul concerts will become available on Interpark, a leading local online shopping mall, from 2 p.m. Thursday. (Yonhap)
