Singer Kim Gun Mo is confirmed to be returning to the public stage after six years. Starting this September, Kim Gun Mo will officially make his comeback through a nationwide tour concert titled "KIM GUN MO." The production company iStar Media Company announced that ticket sales will open exclusively on August 29.

Kim Gun Mo established himself as a "blue chip" in broadcasting, advertising, and performances by recording the highest weekly ratings on SBS variety show "My Ugly Duckling." However, he completely halted his activities in 2019 following allegations of sexual assault. At that time, a hostess identified as A claimed she was sexually assaulted by Kim Gun Mo in 2016 and filed a complaint, but the prosecution decided not to indict him in November 2021. Subsequent appeals and requests for reconsideration were all dismissed, and the case was closed in 2022.

Even during the suspension of his performances and broadcasts, Kim Gun Mo's music continued to be consumed. Remakes by junior singers, mentions on broadcasts, and plays and reevaluations on online platforms kept fans interested. An insider said, "Although he was away from the stage, he never let go of his music for a single moment."

There is growing interest in whether Kim Gun Mo will reveal his feelings during the hiatus on this tour. During the break, in 2020, Kim Gun Mo married pianist Jang Ji Yeon but announced their divorce after about two years and eight months, which saddened fans.

As news of the concert spread, netizens expressed their excitement. Comments on online communities and social media included, "Finally, Gun Mo hyung is back on stage!", "After a long wait, I'm looking forward to hearing him live," "I definitely have to go to this tour," and "It's been tough, but the music is still the best."

Starting with the exclusive ticket opening on Yes24 on August 29, Kim Gun Mo will meet fans nationwide beginning with the Busan concert in September. The tour will start in Busan on September 27, then proceed to Daegu on October 18, Daejeon on December 20, and expand to major cities nationwide including Seoul in January next year. Music fans are eagerly anticipating the emotional impact of Kim Gun Mo's comeback stage.
