U-Know Yunho of TVXQ, one of South Korea’s most enduring K-pop icons, is set to open his first solo concert tour this summer, marking a significant new chapter after more than two decades with the group.

His agency, SM Entertainment, announced on April 30 that the singer will launch the tour with three performances of “U-KNOW PROJECT 26 : SCENE#1” (유노윤호 프로젝트 26 : 신 챕터 원) at the Ticket Link Live Arena (Olympic Park Handball Arena) in Seoul from July 17 to 19. The shows will kick off a broader global tour that will reach fans across multiple regions.

Under the new “U-KNOW PROJECT” banner, Yunho plans to build a distinctive solo concert brand. The inaugural performances will take audiences on a narrative journey exploring his personal growth, self-discovery and evolving identity, promising a deeper level of immersion than a typical concert setlist.

As this marks Yunho’s first solo concert since his debut, the production is expected to transcend standard concert formats by weaving in elements of musical theater and dramatic storytelling, offering fans a richer experience of his musical universe.

Meanwhile, TVXQ recently made history in Japan. The duo performed “Tohoshinki 20th Anniversary LIVE IN NISSAN STADIUM ～RED OCEAN～” (東方神起 20th Anniversary LIVE IN NISSAN STADIUM ～RED OCEAN～) at Yokohama’s Nissan Stadium on April 25 and 26, setting a record as the first and most frequent foreign artist to headline the venue.
