Celebrity Travel: Go away with Keeho
After spending most of 2023 and this past January on a world tour that took them across five continents, P1Harmony leader Keeho said he is already looking forward to hitting the road again. “When we first started touring, I was a little scared that I would get tired of it,” the bilingual Korean- Canadian singer said in a Zoom interview from Seoul. “But to my surprise, that never happened. I feel like just being able to really experience different cultures and see different people and trying new foods made the touring experience so much more fun.” After six EPs, the group recently released their first full-length album “때깔 (Killin‘ It).” ( https://open.spotify.com/album/7FbyxnCCfB4t8N8qwHrHi6?si=4QdZrsYTTF2rpyTjM7Fg3Q&go=1&nd=1&dlsi=85130a579b414072 ) The band will announce their North American tour, which will include dates in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, on Feb. 20.

Q: Can you tell me about a city from your last tour and what you remember about it?
A: My fans know that I love Chicago. It’s such a beautiful city, except it gets really, really cold. But other than that, we love Chicago, so we're dying to go back.
Q: But you’re from Canada. Aren’t you used to the cold?
A: [Laughs] I don't know why, but I feel like when I’m in Chicago, it feels so much colder than home. I remember when we went in the middle of winter and it was so completely cold that we weren’t able to go out.
Q: Most of your family lives in Canada. When’s the last time you saw them?
A: My mom currently lives in Korea, so I get to see her pretty often. The last time I went to Toronto was for a tour in July 2023. It was so much fun to see my whole family and my friends. We did a show [and I invited about] 50 people. I cried on stage because it was overwhelming for me. But just being able to go back home and experience it – it felt very surreal.
Q: Where did touring take you that you hadn’t been to before?
A: I had never been to South America before, so being in Brazil, [Ecuador] and Colombia and all these places was just so fun. The energy that these fans gave us was so crazy to feel in real time.
Q: Did you travel a lot as a child?
