Bol Ppalggan Saechungi's An Ji-young kicks off 'Red Square' tour at KINTEX on 10th anniversary

10 years in, An Ji-young hits the road

An Ji-young brought Red Square to KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on November 7–8. The concert marks the start of a tour tied to Bol Ppalggan Saechungi's 10th debut anniversary. She posted "Red Square DAY 1" on Instagram the 8th. Short, but that's the whole vibe.

The tour follows October 22's October Archive, the group's 10th mini album. An Ji-young wrote, composed, and produced it entirely. Five tracks:

• "황금기" (main title)
• "풀카운트" (sub-title)
• "퀘벡"
• "새벽 공기"
• "고양이 별"

"황금기" is modern rock built around the idea that right now can be the most luminous period of your life, locating that shine in love. "풀카운트" draws on An Ji-young's love of baseball, using a full-count situation as a metaphor for holding onto hope until the very last moment.

9 songs past 100 million streams — and counting

Bol Ppalggan Saechungi now operates as a one-person band under An Ji-young. Her catalog spans RED ICKLE, RED PLANET, Saechungi-jip I Kkot-gi-un, Saechungi-jip II Kkot Bon Nabi, Seoul, 사랑.zip, and Merry Go Round. Hits include "우주를 줄게," "여행," "나만, 봄," "썸 탈꺼야," and "워커홀릭." On MBC's Radio Star, she confirmed nine of her songs have crossed 100 million streams. She also appeared as a story contributor on SBS's 꼬리에 꼬리를 무는 그날 이야기.

Where 'Red Square' goes next

After Goyang, the Red Square tour moves through seven countries across eight cities: Jakarta, Melbourne, Sydney, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Tokyo. (Melbourne and Sydney account for the eight-city count.) Domestic dates are also planned alongside the overseas leg.
