At Taeyang’s Seoul concert, fans can get taste of PyeongChang Olympics

SEJONG, Aug. 24 (Yonhap) — A promotional event for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics will be held on the sidelines of the upcoming solo concert by Taeyang, a member of K-pop group BIGBANG, a national content promotion agency said on Thursday.

The singer is set to throw a concert at Jamsil Arena in Seoul this weekend as part of his “White Night” world tour.

The Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) said the agency will operate a promotional booth and photo zone where visitors can learn about the Olympics scheduled for Feb. 9-25 in PyeongChang, Gangwon Province.

There will be a giveaway event for fans who share a photo they take at the booth on their social media sites.

In June, Taeyang was picked as one of the honorary ambassadors for the Olympics tasked with promoting the global sports event.
