World-renowned rapper Kanye West has confirmed a performance in Korea in August.

According to the music-specialized media brand 'CHANNEL CANDY' run by global media company NEXTIS, Kanye West will hold his first solo performance in Korea on August 23 at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province.

The performance is co-organized by Channel Candy operators Nexstis and LeGrand and sponsored by TV Chosun and Malpyo Industries.



Kanye West's visit to Korea has been about 14 years since the 2010 Summer Week & T Festival held at Naksan Beach in Yangyang, Gangwon Province. At that time, it was a performance of several singers, so it was the first time Kanye West performed alone in Korea.

Born in 1977, Kanye West began making his name as a producer in 2001 when he was in charge of producing the album for singer Jay-Z, and made his official debut in 2004 with his first album 'The Colage Dropout'. It earned the title 'Best Musician of the 21st Century' with hits such as 'Show Jams', 'Gold Digger', 'Stronger', 'ET', 'Kanibal'. He won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in the 2000s and boasts the most male solo awards in the 21st century.
