Today in Korean history
Nov. 16
Forestella, a Korean crossover vocal group, is poised to make history by becoming the first Korean musical act to headline the main stage at New York's iconic Carnegie Hall. Formed following their victory in JTBC's singing competition, Phantom Singer 2, in 2017, the group comprises members Cho Min-gyu, Ko Woo-rim, Bae Doo-hoon, and Kang Hyung-ho.
Known for their successful fusion of high art and popular culture within Korea, the agency Beat Interactive revealed that Forestella will embark on a second North American tour, named BEYOND: ACROSS THE HORIZON, which features the prestigious Carnegie Hall performance. The agency emphasized that Forestella will become the first domestic music group ever to grace and perform at the prestigious Carnegie Hall.
This North American tour will solidify the group's status as leading representatives of K-crossover music, joining the ranks of notable Korean solo artists like Cho Yong-pil in 1981, Patti Kim, Insooni, Lee Sun-hee, and Kim Bum-soo.
