My Chemical Romance to return to Korea for the first time in 18 years
American rock band to perform at Paradise City Culture Park in Incheon on April 18, 2026 Emo rock legends My Chemical Romance are finally making their long-awaited return to South Korea, nearly two decades after their first and only performance in the country. The band is set to hold a one-night-only concert on April 18, 2026, at Culture Park in Paradise City, Incheon. This marks the band's first concert in Korea since the show in 2008. The upcoming concert is part of the band's new world tour "Long Live The Black Parade," which kicks off in the US on Friday. The band will visit 27 cities in North and South America and Asia, and is likely to add more stops. Formed in 2001, My Chemical Romance — consisting of Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Ray Toro and Frank Iero — has released four studio albums so far. The band's second studio album in 2004, "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge," and 2006's "The Black Parade" shaped the emo genre and brought it into the mainstream. "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys," released in 2010, captured listeners with its bold, dystopian concept. The band earned both critical and popular acclaim through numerous hit songs like "Welcome to the Black Parade," "Helena," "Teenagers" and "Famous Last Words," solidifying its place as one of the defining acts of 2000s alternative rock. After disbanding in 2013, the group reunited in 2019 and has since experienced a powerful resurgence. Prior to the upcoming world tour, the band had successfully wrapped up its 2022 European tour, celebrating their full return. Tickets for the band's Korea concert will be available via the pop music platform Ualive and ticketing site Ticketlink. Pre-sale for Ualive users begins at noon on Friday, while general ticketing opens at noon on July 14.

The royal kitchen is divided into three sections, responsible for preparing daily meals, meals for special days and refreshments, respectively.

Gyeongbokgung nighttime tour tickets to go on sale
Online reservations for nighttime tours of Gyeongbokgung, the most recognized of the five Joseon-era (1392-1910) palaces in Seoul, will start Wednesday for tours running May 8-June 15. Registration will open on Ticketlink on a first-come, first-served basis, with each person allowed to buy up to four tickets. For international tourists, tickets can be purchased on the day of the tour at Gwanghwamun, the main palace gate, upon showing an ID, such as a passport. Tours will run from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. every day except Mondays and Tuesdays, covering gates, halls, a pavilion and a garden on the palace grounds. Heungnyemun, Gyeongbokgung's second gate, can be thought of 'as the face of Joseon,' said an official at the Korea Heritage Service, the agency organizing the tours. 'The Japanese tore it down and built the Government-General Building there to block the view of Gyeongbokgung. Heungnyemun is a symbol of Koreans' desire to rediscover their national pride,' the official said about the gate's restoration in 2001. From May 21-24, musicians from the National Gugak Center will perform traditional Korean music with a focus on royal court music.

Musical on Joseon queen to be staged at royal shrine
Reservations for a musical revisiting a ceremony from the Joseon era (1392-1910) to be staged at Jongmyo from April 26-30 are now open. 'The Queen's Story' focuses on Queen Inwon — the second wife of King Sukjong (1674-1720) — observing the ancestral rite at Jongmyo, the royal shrine where the tablets of Joseon kings and queens are enshrined, following her wedding ceremony. The visit to the shrine to pay respects to royal ancestors was the only state event in which women were allowed to participate. The Korea Heritage Service said it will provide glasses with real-time closed captions in both Korean and English at the site. Jongmyo is also hosting a separate program for those interested in trying their hands at making the incense central to ceremonies from the Joseon era from April 26-May 2. 'Incense was just as much a commodity as it was a luxury good,' a KHS official said. Participants may try on royal costumes for photo-taking. The musical will be staged twice, at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., while the incense-making program will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Reservations for the two free events should be made via Ticketlink. Walk-ins are accepted.
