Can you believe that 2016 has less than a month left? Starting 2016 was like a couple of days ago. The more we grow old, the faster time goes on and on. Every beginning of semester we make up our mind that we will study much more than last semester and enjoy our leisure time, and exercise harder. But it is always the same. We are in a never ending rat race. If 2016 is the last year of your life, how are you going to live from now? Will you be tied up with daily drudgery of routine things? Or are you going to enjoy some new festivals? I hope you will enjoy the festivals. I suggest checking out the last December concert performances and festivals.

In Daegu, many stars are ready for a year-end performance. K-will come to us by way of a nationwide concert tour called, 'Ke-DaeBack'. The concert will be on December 30 and 31. The concert is open to anyone more than seven years old. The concert will run 2 hours and 30 minutes at the Kyungpook National University main auditorium. K-will's outstanding singing ability, his humor, and the high quality of the concert are already recognized by audiences. Expect people to be talking about the concert.

Lee-Juck's nationwide concert tour, Resonate, is also going to be held. The place is Daegu-Exco first floor and this concert is going to be held only on the 24th in December. So, don't miss out on his awesome 2 hour and 10 minutes performance.

Lee Moon-Sae is going to hold a concert called, 'The best'. Parents like him very much and he is very popular among elementary school students. He is so famous and has a ton of hit songs. This is a 2 hour performance on the 31st of December. Also, this is going to be held on the first floor at Daegu-Exco. Maybe he planned to greet 2017 with his fans counting down 5 seconds. The concert’s main promotion promises that "Lee Moon-Sae will give a present to everyone who did their best this year". So, it is a good idea to go together with your parents or giving your parents some tickets as part of your filial duty.

Exciting and bad guy DJ DOC also visits Daegu with an awesome performance. He will performing on the first floor at Daegu-Exco. DJ DOC always holds a tasty concert! This concert is going to be held on the 25th in December. Therefore, if you enjoy this concert on Christmas, I guarantee that you will get much more energy in 2017.

Now, we are going to turn our attention to 'upcoming plays and musicals. There is a play that has to be seen on a snowy day in December. The name of the play is 'Liar'. Liar is comic-thriller play.. Many people who saw this play say that Liar was really a special treat to enjoy. This is going to run at Bong-san culture center’s 'Gaon Hole' from the 9th to 18th in December. Go see it with someone special.

Next is tidings of world tour, 'Jekyll and Hyde'. This is going to run at the Kei-myung Art Center from the 1st to the 25th in December. This public performance in Korea is a splendid chance to see the 'real' Jekyll and Hyde that you read in childhood. There are a lot of grand things like handsome, beautiful, talented actors, and fantastic songs. I hope you finish this year with this good performance.

Finally, don’t miss the Starlight Festival and Christmas Tree Festival. The Chung-do province Starlight-dongwha Village Festival is taking place in Chung-do province Photo-land until March 31, 2017. You have probably seen the bright lights from the festival while passing Chung-do in the evening by train. If you have seen the lights only from a train, I suggest to visit the festival with your friends and take many pictures of the beautiful night view. This is a great idea.

Next is the Herb Island Starlight Dong-hwa Festival. This will also be held on the 31st in December. The Pocheon-si Herb Island Festival has an admission fee of 6000 won (common) and 4000 won (preferential treatment). But, the starlight might make your eyes and ears happy to see the spectacular views.

The last event is the Busan Christmas Tree Culture Festival. Until the 1st in January, Busan City holds a tree culture festival that has colorful and congenial trees and bulbs. That will fill Kwangbok-ro with many people. The place is the whole area of Busan Jung-gu Kwang-bok ro. So, I suggest you visit to see the colorful trees and listen to wonderful carols.

Everybody, are you ready for a new adventure to get away from dull life? Youth is only for a while. Don't ask for trouble, enjoy your youth!
