SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – Media OutReach – 18 March 2021 – For the first time, Twitter will livestream a performance by legendary K-pop artist ‘SEOTAIJI’ globally, enabling fans across the world to enjoy his “Quiet Night” concert. Fans can tune in via @SEO_TAIJI at 7 am PST, 10 am EST, 11 pm KST on Thursday, March 18, to enjoy SEOTAIJI’s music no matter where they are.

SEOTAIJI is widely regarded as the most prominent and influential artist and cultural icon in South Korea, since his rise to prominence as leader of the group ‘Seo Taiji and Boys’ in 1992. Throughout his career from group to subsequent solo, SEOTAIJI’s music and artistry, which included elements of hip-hop, dance, rock, metal and Korean Traditional music (Gukak) were instrumental in influencing the sound of Korean popular music, and helped lead to the formation of the K-pop genre as it is known today. Current K-pop favorites like BTS (@BTS_twt) recognize SEOTAIJI’s influence on K-pop; BTS has paid homage to SEOTAIJI by covering his song, “Come Back Home (1995),” and also performed at SEOTAIJI’s 25th Anniversary concert, where SEOTAIJI passed them the torch as a globally-renowned K-pop artist.
