Global EDM Icon Returns to Korea
Global electronic music superstar Alan Walker is set to light up Seoul once again this fall. The Norwegian DJ and producer, best known for his record-breaking hit “Faded,” will headline a major concert on October 18 at the soccer field of Seoul Children’s Grand Park, organizers Seoul Auction X announced Monday.
Known for his signature masked look and cinematic sound, Walker’s return is one of the most anticipated live events of the year in South Korea’s growing electronic dance music (EDM) scene.
From Bedroom Producer to Global Phenomenon
Since debuting with “Faded” in 2015, Alan Walker has become one of the most recognizable names in modern electronic music. The track, an emotional blend of melodic EDM and atmospheric vocals, catapulted him into international stardom.

Walker’s trademark fusion of cinematic sound design, uplifting melodies, and visual storytelling has earned him an enormous global following. His YouTube channel, boasting over 47 million subscribers, stands as the most-followed account by a Norwegian artist.
Sold-Out Success in Korea
