Marketa Irglova [SOUTHERN STAR Entertainment]

Singer-songwriter Marketa Irglova is opening an exclusive concert in Korea this summer,

Hosted by SOUTHERN STAR Entertainment, the “Falling Slowly” and “If You Want Me” songstress will open her solo concert at the AX-KOREA Hall in Seoul, Korea, on August 15, the organizers said in a press release Friday.

With Glen Hensard, who used to be her lover, the two formed the band Swell Season in 2006 and gained fame internationally by shooting the Irish indie film "Once" together the next year.

With Hensard, Irglova visted the country as a group twice already, in 2009 and 2010, and during her upcoming third visit, she is expected to perform some of her songs from the first solo album "Anar" dropped in October 2011.

Irglova and Hensard split up as a couple since their notable run a few years ago and the songstress got married to Tim Iseler recently. Despite the break up, Hansard and Irglova continue to work together musically.
