[Edaily Starin KIM HYUNSIK Reporter] IZM, a webzine specializing in pop music criticism, is hosting a concert to commemorate its 25th anniversary.

According to IZM on the 17th, the concert will take place on the 23rd of next month at the Dongyang Life Hall in the NOL Theater in Hapjeong.
The lineup includes Kim Soo-cheol, Jaurim, guitarist Yoo Byung-yeol, Fifty Fifty, and Peach Truck Highjackers.
IZM explained, “We planned this concert to celebrate the more than 30,000 reviews accumulated over 25 years by our 100-plus contributors, and to expand our online critical culture onto the live stage to communicate directly with readers and artists.” Regarding the lineup, they added, “We aimed to create a stage that unites generations and transcends genres.”
Pop music critic Im Jin-mo, the founder of Izm, will host the event. Critic Im stated, “While Izm has traditionally been a space for rational reflection on music, this performance will be a festival where we share emotions in person,” adding, “I hope that, at least for this one day, we can set aside the written word and connect through our genuine passion for music and our cheers.”
