Taeyeon, lead singer of K-Pop girl band Girls’ Generation, will give solo concerts in Seoul in May.

Her “Persona” concerts will be at Olympic Park in eastern Seoul on May 12-14, her agency SM Entertainment said Friday.

It will be her second solo show, nine months after her first one last July and August.

She will perform tracks from her first official solo album “My Voice” released this month, and other popular K-pop hits.

Ticket sales will open at 8 p.m. Tuesday on booking website YES24. Discounted tickets for families and people with disabilities will be available from 10:00 a.m. the same day.

SM expects high demand for tickets. Her first mini-concert at COEX Artium in SM headquarters in Samseong-dong, Seoul, in 2015 sold out within 10 minutes.

SM said Taeyeon would then tour Hong Kong, Taipei, and Bangkok. Schedules and venues have yet been finalized.

“Make me love you,” the title track from “My Voice,” topped Korean charts soon after its release.
