K-pop idol bands SHINee, B.A.P and Rainbow have teamed up to celebrate test takers' completion of a long journey to this year's Sooneng, Korea's College Scholastic Ability Test. The three groups will grace the concert, dubbed “2012 K-POP STAR SOONENG CONCERT,” which will open its curtain at Kyunghee University's Peace Palace on November 18 at 6:30 p.m. in local time, the gig’s organizer Sports Hankook said.Hosted by B.A.P member Him Chan and Rainbow’s Ji-sook, the K-pop idols will relieve stress of examinees who went through their huge challenge in their lives on November 8, the day of Sooneng.It is especially meaningful to the “Stop It” singers B.A.P, since the group's 19-year-old member Jong-up is also taking the exam this week.Meanwhile, Korean hip-hop trio Clover--composed of leader Eun Ji-won, female vocal Gileme and rapper Tyfoon--is to share the stage during the two-hour long concert.※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
