Series of three concerts of Kim Jang-hoon accompanied by Czech National Symphony Orchestra (www.cnso.cz) with conductor Ivan Zelenka took place in Busan and Seoul between March 11-13, 2011. Kim Jang-hoon´s latest album and the concert series was a tribute to his fellow Korean musician and friend, late Kim Hyun-shik, who debuted onto the music scene two decades ago. Kim Jang-hoon teamed up with the best producers, mixers and engineers, both Koreans and Czechs, to create the compilation of Kim Hyun-shik´s songs. Not only Czech musicians accompanied him,  but also a series of guests supported this tribute, among them were Yoo Hee-yeol, Sung Si-Kyung or Psy.
