It has been announced on September 9, Wednesday, that Wonho will be performing his first global pay-per-view performance. The event is produced by LiveXLive Media, a global platform for the live stream and on-demand audio, video, and podcast content in music, comedy, and pop culture.
This is Wonho's first-ever live solo event and debut performance for his first solo album, "Love Synonym #1 : Right For Me". The concert is scheduled for September 26, Saturday at 8 PM PT or 11 PM EST, or on Sunday, September 27th, at 1 PM KST.
The pay-per-view live stream marks Wonho's much-anticipated return to live performing. On August 14th, Wonho pre-released his single "Losing You", which garnered much love and attention from fans. On September 4th, Wonho dropped his first solo mini-album "Love Synonym #1 : Right for Me", with the lead track "Open Mind". The album topped the Worldwide iTunes Album chart and landed the top spot on the iTunes K-pop Album in twenty different countries, including the United States.
The full concert on LiveXLive will not only feature Wonho's new songs from his solo album but will also contain a unique PPV experience with behind the scene footage in a docu-reality-style coverage. The idol will also share some cover songs. Premium-tier tickets include VIP experiences, exclusive merchands, meet-and-greets, and more event-exclusive perks. Ticket prices start at $19.99USD and tickets go on-sale on September 11, Friday.

Our platform is built for moments like these and we are excited to power this one-of-a-kind concert experience together.
