Rain books a December solo concert, 'THE SMOKE', at Olympic Hall in Seoul

Key points

• Rain plays a year-end solo concert in Seoul, "2026 RAIN CONCERT [THE SMOKE]". It is his first headline concert in Korea in about two and a half years, since "STILL RAINING" in June 2024.
• Two shows at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park: 6pm on Saturday 5 December and 5pm on Sunday 6 December.
• Four seat grades, from the 198,000-won VVIP seat, which includes the pre-show sound check, down to the 110,000-won S seat. The fanclub pre-sale is on Tuesday 29 September and the general sale on Thursday 1 October, both at 8pm and both exclusive to YES24.

Rain is filling the last month of the year with a Seoul stage. According to the notice and product listing on YES24, his sole ticketing outlet, "THE SMOKE" plays over the first weekend of December at Olympic Hall. The statutory product disclosure on YES24 names Spring ENT as presenter and producer. The running time is 120 minutes and the show is for ages 8 and up.

The venue is familiar ground. KOPIS, Korea's performing-arts register, holds "RAIN CONCERT: STILL RAINING [Seoul]" at Olympic Park on 8–9 June 2024, and no headline concert in Korea by Rain is registered between then and September 2026. His label, Rain Company, described that show on its official site as his first Seoul headline concert in nine years, and the tour went on to Hong Kong that July, to Kaohsiung in Taiwan and to Malaysia in February 2025, and to Macau in April. This December show is the first domestic date set after those overseas legs. Neither the shape of "THE SMOKE" nor any guests have been announced.

There are four seat grades. The VVIP seat, at 198,000 won, admits the holder to a sound check before the show, followed by the VIP seat at 165,000 won, the R seat at 143,000 won and the S seat at 110,000 won. People with disabilities and national merit recipients can claim a 20% discount by booking through the call centre.

The fanclub books first. Members of the 11th intake of the official fanclub "Cloud" who complete verification by 11.59pm on 29 September may buy two tickets per performance from 8pm that day until midnight. The general sale opens at 8pm on Thursday 1 October, with a limit of four per performance including anything bought in the pre-sale. The general sale covers only what the pre-sale leaves, so a sell-out in the pre-sale can leave nothing on general release. A CAPTCHA applies, and bank transfers must clear by 11.29pm on the day of booking. Tickets are posted from 12 November.
