Source-derived summary

The Odd of Love (stylized as TAEYEON CONCERT - The ODD Of LOVE) was the fifth concert tour and the first arena tour headlined by South Korean singer Taeyeon, in support of her third studio album INVU (2022). The tour started in June 2023 in Seoul and finished in August 2023 in Singapore, visiting eight countries across Asia. It was her first solo concert in three years since The Unseen in 2020, which was cut short after three shows due to COVID-19.

Background

On November 8, 2022, in her acceptance speech for Best Female Solo Artist Award at the 2022 Genie Music Awards ceremony, Taeyeon announced that she would hold a concert soon. SM Entertainment announced on May 5, 2023, that Taeyeon would hold her first solo concert in three years titled "The Odd of Love" at the KSPO Dome in South Korea, making Taeyeon the first South Korean female artist to headline a concert at the arena both as a solo artist and as a member of a group and the fifth South Korean female soloist to hold a concert at the venue after Patti Kim, BMK, Insooni and IU.

On May 9, 2023, SM announced Taeyeon would officially start the tour with shows in Hong Kong and Japan. In June 2023, SM announced that the tour would continue in other Asian countries, including Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. With her shows in Thailand, Taeyeon became the first South Korean female solo artist to headline a concert at the Impact Arena, the largest indoor-arena in the country. She also became the first South Korean female solo artist to headline concerts in Taiwan's Taipei Arena, Singapore's Indoor Stadium and the second South Korean female solo artist to hold a concert at an arena in Japan, following her label mate BoA.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “The Odd of Love”, the useful work is to connect “tour by South Korean singer Taeyeon” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q119170515. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 2023 and 2020.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
