Seo debuted in 1992 as the leader of the boy band Seo Taiji & Boys, which disbanded in 1996. Since going solo, he has released five full-length albums and two singles albums.

His latest release is an album of remakes of his hits re-recorded to celebrate the career milestone. He collaborated on the album with many young acts including rising boy band Bangtan Boys, Crush and Urban Zakapa. 

At the concert, he sang his hits of the past 25 years in chronological order, starting with his debut and most iconic song, "I Know", which catapulted him to superstardom. He was joined by Bangtan Boys, also known as BTS, with whom he reenacted dance moves from the Seo Taiji & Boys days.

Some 35,000 ardent fans packed the concert and sang along with him throughout the show.

Seo thanked his fans for their continuous support over those long years.
