A 20% discount for the buyer and one companion also applies to ticket holders for the tour's other programme, buyers of the "CHRISTMAS meets JAZZ" LP, and anyone who booked a Jinurock-promoted show between 2011 and 2026.
How do the Ghibli and Christmas shows differ?
"GHIBLI meets JAZZ" sets music from Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro for jazz trio. "CHRISTMAS meets JAZZ" covers Christmas standards such as "White Christmas", "The Christmas Song", "Let It Snow" and "Winter Wonderland", and plays only twice, in Seongnam and in Gangdong, Seoul.
How often has the trio played in Korea?
In the YES24 notices, promoter Jinurock Entertainment says the trio has toured Korea for 14 years since its first visit in 2011, playing more than 100 shows to a cumulative audience of over 100,000. Korea's performing-arts database KOPIS also records last winter's tour, which opened in Goyang on 22 November 2025 and went on to Suwon, Yongsan (Seoul), Seongnam, Cheonan, Incheon and Busan, among others.
