[Reporter : ] Musicians are in the news today, with concerts throughout this month and next.

Reality show winner the Gateflowers will have their first tour on Saturday,.. and the 80s rock band Deulgukhwa has reunited for a tour of Korea.

I have this and many more concerts that will be coming to you this month and in August so follow me through this.

Summer seems to be the season for rock concerts. And these bands all seem very different in style and sound.

[Reporter : ] Yes. They sort of run the gamut of the rock genre. Gate Flowers is known for ballads that have a soft rock feel.
Jung Cha-shik, on the other hand, offers a much harder rock sound, and it will be interesting to see how that plays at Cafe Veloso, which is a very small venue in the heart of Hongdae, the city's indie music district.

What's his sound like[Reporter : ] Well, his voice is very high-pitched and almost eerie in a sense, which isn't necessarily easy to listen to, but he seems to be popular among fans.
And I have to say that it will be really interesting to see how Baik Hyun-jhin of the Uhuhboo Project sounds alongside Cho Woong from Goonamguayeoridingstella . Baik blends traditional Korean music with rock anjd roll while Cho's music includes many genres from dance to reggae to the blues.

Well, I'm sure many viewers will check these concerts out. And now, to wrap things up, you have the events bulletin for us, right[Reporter : ] Yes. I have three concerts for you today and to start the bulletin off, I have the Ugly Junction Live Concert on the 29th that will feature many different artists. And Yim Jae-beum tours around Korea all through August, September and October. Lastly, the Korea Live Music Festival will be taking place on September 1st and 2nd. Here are the details.

[Reporter : ed: jenny] The bulletin features 3 events

Rolling Hall in Hongdae plays host to the Ugly Junction Live Concert on July 29th. The concert features a host of indie musicians, including FANA , DJ Wegun, Palo Alto, Crucial Star and many more.

With hits like, "For You" and "Love",.. singer Yim Jae-beum will touch the hearts of many fans on a tour that starts in Busan on August 18th. His concert in Seoul will be held on the 7th and 8th of September at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium. The tour ends in Wonju in October.

The Korea Live Music Festival offers music in the great outdoors. The line-up features Gate Flowers, Kim Jisoo, Urban Zakapa, Pia and more. The festival is September 1st and 2nd at Nanji Han River Park.
