Kim Hee-jae hits Music Bank ahead of July 24 encore concert at Olympic Hall
Trot singer and musical actor Kim Hee-jae appeared on KBS2 Music Bank ahead of his 2026 nationwide tour's final stop—an encore concert at Seoul's Olympic Hall on July 24.
Kim Hee-jae brought his 2026 nationwide tour Hee-yeol (희열, 熙熱) to KBS2 Music Bank on July 3, appearing on the 5 PM broadcast ahead of the tour's final stop.
The encore concert lands July 24 at Olympic Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul. His run already took the 30-year-old through Seoul, Daejeon, Ulsan, and additional cities. Tickets are on sale via Yes24 Tickets.
Kim was born June 9, 1995. He's signed to T&N Entertainment with the fan club name Hee-rang-byeol (희랑별). He placed 7th on TV Chosun's Mr. Trot and debuted on March 12, 2020 with a full-length album—five days after completing his mandatory service as a sergeant in the Republic of Korea Navy's Naval Operations Command Military Band (he served from May 28, 2018 to March 17, 2020).
Since then he has expanded into musical theatre, playing Mozart in Mozart! in 2023 and taking the lead in April Is Your Lie. His 2025 ballad mini-album Hee Story (희스토리) joined a discography that has earned him the Melon Music Award Hot Trend Award, the Korean Wave Culture Award Next Generation Korean Wave Star Award, the Korean Image Award Stepping Stone Award, the Hanteo Music Awards Best of Adult Contemporary Award, and the Trot Music Awards Top 10 Singer and Hot Performer awards in both 2024 and 2025.
