Music legend Bob Dylan will perform in Seoul next month.
Dylan, 77, will present his show at the Olympic Park Gymnasium at 8 p.m. on July 27.
The singer-songwriter's first gig in Korea was in March 2010.
Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016, the first musician to win it.
After his 1962 debut album "Bob Dylan," he gained popularity as a folk singer thanks to his hit song "Blowin' In The Wind."
Dylan shifted from folk songs to rock and roll in 1965, coming up with "Like a Rolling Stone," dubbed one of the world's greatest songs.
He has made clear his views on social issues such as nuclear war and racism while continuing his music career with hits such as "Knocking on Heaven's Door."
This living legend's achievements include Grammy, Golden Glove, Pulitzer and Academy awards.
Tickets for the concert go on sale June 27.
After Korea, Dylan will head to Japan for a rock festival. He also will tour Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.
