Lim Jae Beom will hold his final concerts before retiring from the music industry. The veteran singer is set to host the 'I Am Lim Jae Beom' Seoul encore concerts on May 16 and 17 at Olympic Hall in Seoul's Olympic Park. The performances will mark the conclusion of his nationwide 40th anniversary tour, which began in Daegu last November and continued through several cities including Incheon, Busan, Suwon, Goyang, Gwangju, Ulsan, Changwon, Cheongju, Jeonju, and Daejeon.

According to his agency, Blue Seed Entertainment, the Seoul encore concerts were organized to thank fans for their support throughout the tour.

He previously announced in January that he would retire from the music industry following the end of the tour. The upcoming concerts are expected to serve as his final farewell to fans.

The tour also drew attention for several memorable fan interactions. During the Jeonju concert, a fan from Poland prepared gifts for both attendees and the singer, highlighting his international fanbase.

At the Cheongju concert, he also held a gift event involving salted shrimp, referencing a joke among fans who said they had "aged like salted shrimp" while waiting through his long hiatus. The singer personally presented the gifts during the event.

Blue Seed Entertainment stated, "The Seoul encore concerts, featuring performances that reflect Lim Jae Beom's 40-year career and heartfelt messages to fans, will become a special memory for audiences."

He debuted in 1986 as the vocalist of the rock band Sinawe and released hit songs including 'Flight', 'For You', and 'After This Night'.
