Singer Lena Park, commonly recognized as one of the Divas of Korean music, will release her 10th full-length album “The Bridge” on May 1 and hold concerts in Korea in celebration of her 25th year anniversary, her agency Bonboo Entertainment announced Friday.

“The Bridge” will be an album that completes the “4Season” project, for which Park released one digital track per season in 2022 that sang about each season.

“The name of the upcoming album, ‘The Bridge’ takes a look back on the feelings she had with her fans since her debut and acts as a bridge to the future,” according to the press release, adding that Park, combining her unique voices and song interpretation abilities, worked with the best producers in the industry to create the album.

Park will hold her 2023 concert of the same name on May 20 and 21 at Olympic Hall in Songpa District, southern Seoul, which will be followed by performances in other Korean cities.

Korean-American singer-songwriter Lena Park, commonly known by her Korean name Park Jung-hyun, debuted in 1998 with her first full-length album “Piece.” She garnered nationwide popularity following her appearances in MBC’s singer-survival program “I Am A Singer” from 2012, where she covered “I Hope It Would Be That Way now” (2011), “Eve’s Warning” (2011), “That’s My own World” (2011) and more.
