A Revamped Musical Experience with an All-Star Cast
The highly anticipated Musical Peste is making its grand return, beginning with a special concert version titled ‘This is PESTE’. The event runs from October 31, 2025, to November 2, 2025, at the Yonsei University Grand Auditorium. This concert serves as a musical preview for a full-scale production, “New Peste,” set to launch later in 2025. The production, helmed by Spotlight, features a star-studded cast led by NCT’s Jung Woo, actor Won TaeMin, musical actor Park YoungSoo, and powerhouse vocalist HYNN. For fans of K-Pop and theater, this event offers a unique opportunity to see beloved artists take on challenging roles in a new musical format.
Bridging Generations: The Music of the Seo Taiji Musical
The concert’s main draw is its reinterpretation of the legendary music of Seo Taiji. Unlike the original musical, which focused primarily on his solo work, ‘This is PESTE’ expands its repertoire to include iconic hits from his revolutionary group, Seo Taiji and Boys. This marks a significant evolution for the Seo Taiji musical, aiming to captivate both long-time fans and a new generation of listeners.
From Solo Hits to Seo Taiji and Boys Classics
The setlist for this K-pop concert spectacular features approximately 20 of Seo Taiji’s most beloved songs, all performed with a live band and orchestra for a powerful, immersive experience. Audiences can expect to hear timeless classics such as “Nan Arayo,” “Come Back Home,” and “Kyosil Idea” performed live. The inclusion of these hits from Seo Taiji and Boys promises a dynamic and nostalgic journey through the history of modern Korean music.
A Rare Live Band Performance
‘This is PESTE’ is a momentous occasion for music enthusiasts, as it represents the first major opportunity to hear Seo Taiji’s music arranged for a live band and orchestra since his 25th-anniversary concert in 2017. This unique arrangement breathes new life into the classic tracks, offering a fresh perspective on the groundbreaking compositions that defined an era.
The Road to ‘New Peste’ and Seo Taiji’s Blessing
This concert is more than just a performance; it is a declaration of the musical’s ambitious return. It acts as a gateway to the full production of “New Peste,” building excitement for its official premiere. The legendary artist himself, Seo Taiji, has expressed his support for the project. He noted his anticipation for the musical’s return after nearly a decade, giving his blessing to this new chapter for “Peste.” This endorsement adds a layer of authenticity and excitement, promising a show that honors its legendary roots while forging a new path forward.
