Music legend Stevie Wonder will hold a concert in Korea next month, according to concert promoter Hyundai Card on Friday.
The music icon will perform at the "Hyundai Super Concert XI-Stevie Wonder" to be held August 10 at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. This will be his second time in Korea -- he held his first concert in the country in 1995.
For the show, he will perform his greatest hits including "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," "I Just Called to Say I Love You," "Isn't She Lovely."
"Stevie Wonder is the symbol of pop music in the United States," an associate from Hyundai Card stated. "We expect this to be a great performance since people can listen to the music firsthand that they have been enjoying for half a century."
Born Steveland Hardaway Morris, Stevie Wonder is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer, who has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and has had over 30 songs in the top 10 on the prestigious Billboard's single chart.
He has won 25 Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame in 1983 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. He was awarded the Gershwin Prize for his lifetime contribution to pop music from U.S. President Barack Obama in 2009.
