Four nights, four unreleased songs: Sim Kyu-sun opens SANCTUARY

Normally the song comes out and then fans hear it at a concert. This time the first encounter with four songs is planned for the concert hall itself.

The venue's official schedule and September concert announcement give four dates: Oct. 24, 25 and 31, plus Nov. 1, at Woori Financial Art Hall in Olympic Park. Saturday shows begin at 6 p.m. and Sunday shows at 5 p.m. The program announcement promises the song ‘SANCTUARY’ and three other unreleased tracks. Published seat prices are KRW 143,000 for R and KRW 132,000 for S.

The notable choice is the release sequence: the live encounter comes before streaming. The title suggests an intimate refuge, though how the songs actually sound remains for listeners to discover.

The checked materials do not include firsthand reviews of the new songs or verified reports from the opening performance. No invented standing ovation or emotional fan quotes are presented.

Following earlier themed concerts including Fortune Teller and Monster, Sim now frames the live experience as SANCTUARY. The word evokes shelter, not any guaranteed psychological effect.

The official Olympic Park schedule verifies all four show dates and times; Electronic Times reported the promoter's four-unreleased-song announcement on Sept. 10. A planned live premiere is not proof that studio recordings have been released or that a concert's full setlist has already been independently confirmed.

The remaining scheduled dates are Oct. 25 and 31 and Nov. 1. An event listing warns that filming may occur at the Nov. 1 performance; attendees should review the official notice. Unreleased lyrics and titles are not guessed here.
