In 2024, WOOSEOK of PENTAGON, who started full-fledged solo activities, successfully held solo concerts in Osaka and Tokyo in March and August. As the last Japanese performance of the year, he is taking on a new challenge. This time, instead of a solo concert, he will hold his first omnibus event 'FRIENDS Vol.1 Presented by WOOSEOK' on October 22, 2024. Japanese artists will be invited to create a unique special stage. This commemorative event will open at KT Zepp Yokohama, marking the last Japanese performance of 2024. As the first lineup announcement, Aile The Shota will join WOOSEOK on stage. WOOSEOK has been active as the main MC on EBS FM's 'Night Radio' for many years, regularly engaging with various music. Through this, he has developed an interest in the Japanese music scene, getting to know many artists through Japanese friends, and became captivated by Aile The Shota's unique talent, leading to the invitation. In the second lineup announcement, Issei Uno Fifth and FIVE NEW OLD have been confirmed to perform. Issei Uno Fifth attended WOOSEOK's concert in Japan through friends and fell in love with the song 'YOU', leading to the creation of 'YOU REMIX feat. Issei Uno Fifth'. This will be their first time sharing the same stage. FIVE NEW OLD was invited because WOOSEOK, who loves anime, was impressed by the band styling and the melody sung by vocalist HIROSHI, which also led to the invitation. Through this event, it is hoped that artists will deepen their bonds and become friends through music. Additionally, other luxurious performers will be announced sequentially. Exclusive content will also be prepared for attendees only. ■Performance Information 'FRIENDS Vol.1 Presented by WOOSEOK' Date: October 22, 2024 (Tuesday) Doors open: 17:30 / Start: 18:30 Venue: KT Zepp Yokohama <Performers> WOOSEOK, Aile The Shota, Issei Uno Fifth, FIVE NEW OLD <Ticket Information (e-plus / first-come-first-served)> General ticket: 8,000 yen (excluding tax) Special 1 VIP seat: WOOSEOK selfie + farewell high-five (limited to 250 people): 15,000 yen (excluding tax) Special 2 VIP seat: WOOSEOK farewell high-five (limited to 300 people): 10,000 yen (excluding tax) Application period General seats: September 6 (Friday) 12:00 - October 21 (Monday) 18:00 VIP seats: September 6 (Friday) 12:00 - September 16 (Monday, holiday) 23:59 Application (e-plus) here <Notes> *You can apply for up to 4 tickets per person. *One drink separate on the day *Selfie for VIP seat perks will be taken before the performance, and high-five will be after the performance. *Selfies will be taken with the customer's smartphone. *Entry not allowed for children under 3 years old.
