Exo's Suho and rock band Jannabi to recreate songs by Songgolmae
Two hit songs by Korean veteran rock band Songgolmae will be recreated by Exo's Suho and indie rock band Jannabi.
Concert organizer Dream Maker Entertainment announced Wednesday that “Love All” (1984), a song from Songgolmae’s second album, will be recreated by Suho while Jannabi will remake “Everything in the World” (1981), the lead track of the band's first album. Songgolmae recently surprised its longtime fans by announcing that its former founding members — Bae Cheol-soo and Gu Chang-mo — will reunite for a concert tour for the first time in 40 years. They will kick off in Seoul and stop in several other Korean cities.
The two song remakes will first be played during a press conference for Songgolmae’s upcoming concert at 1:30 p.m. on July 6, which will also be streamed live via Dream Maker Entertainment’s YouTube channel ( youtube.com/dreammakerlive1). The songs will be available on various streaming platforms soon after.
The first stop in Songgolmae’s tour will be for two days from Sept. 11 at the SKPO Dome in Olympic Park, southern Seoul.
Songgolmae was a popular rock band in the 1980s. The band has multiple hit songs including “Accidental Encounter” (1982) and “Let’s Gather!” (1990).
