원본보기 아이콘K-pop idol bands SHINee, B.A.P and Rainbow have teamed up to celebrate test takers' completion of a long journey to this year's Sooneng, Korea's College Scholastic Ability Test.
The three groups will grace the concert, dubbed “2012 K-POP STAR SOONENG CONCERT,” which will open its curtain at Kyunghee University's Peace Palace on November 18 at 6:30 p.m. in local time, the gig’s organizer Sports Hankook said.
It is especially meaningful to the “Stop It” singers B.A.P, since the group's 19-year-old member Jong-up is also taking the exam this week.
Meanwhile, Korean hip-hop trio Clover--composed of leader Eun Ji-won, female vocal Gileme and rapper Tyfoon--is to share the stage during the two-hour long concert.
