Korean singers from major talenthouse YG Entertainment will hold a series of joint concerts in Korea and Japan starting this December, according to a press release from the agency on Wednesday.

YG announced that they will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the company with their joint concert titled “15h Anniversary YG Family Concert,” featuring Big Bang, 2NE1, Se7en, Gummy, PSY and Tablo, which will take place once at the Olympic Park Stadium in Seoul on December 3 and twice the following day.

The artists will then visit Japan for the concert to be held for two days at the Kyocera Dome Osaka in Osaka starting January 7 and then wrap up at the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo on January 21 and 22.

The upcoming concert will also mark the comeback of Big Bang member Daesung who has halted his singing career starting May of this year when he got involved in a car accident where a motorcyclist died.

He was found not guilty of the death though because of lack of evidence that he was the sole cause of it and he reached a settlement with the family of the bereaved as well.

YG Entertainment was founded in 1996 by Yang Hyun-suk, a former member of popular Korean group Seo Tai-ji & Boys.

The company has managed the successful careers of K-pop artists including 1TYM, Jinusean and Wheesung as well as actors Kang Hye-jung, Ku Hye-sun and Yoo In-na.

YG also signed with major Japanese record label AVEX to create YGEX, which was established to manage the activities of YG artists in Japan.

Tickets for the "15th Anniversary YG Family Concert" will become available on various online websites starting October 27.
