20-year-old rocker Avril Lavigne will perform in Korea once again. She held a concert in Korea in January 2003 during the peak of her popularity and excited Korean pop fans in their teens and early 20s. Lavigne will perform at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul, at 8:00 p.m. August 11.
Lavigne hit the billboard chart with songs like ¡°Complicated¡± and ¡°Sk8er Boi¡± from her debut album released in 2002. She has rejected teen pop, which is represented by Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Instead, Lavigne shoulders a guitar and bounces on the stage like a tomboy playing her self-composed songs to gain the support from her peer-age fans that are tired of sweet and light songs.
Lavigne was born in Ontario, Canada, and began to compose songs in her teens. When she was 16-years-old, she was picked up by a producer while singing in a choir and neighborhood festivals. Afterwards, Lavigne became a new icon of the pop world with her neuter image and unrestrained stage manner. She released her second album ¡°Under My Skin¡± in May.
Korean fans were banned from jumping in the hall during Lavigne¡¯s first Korean performance at the Millennium Hall in Central City because the building might have shaken. Expectedly, Korean fans may freely jump and bounce at the Olympic Hall because it is located on the first floor. For more information, call 1588-1555.
