Actress Suzy is gearing up for a return to music with an exciting new project.

On September 10, KBS announced that Suzy, along with Hwasa, ATEEZ, and more, will embark on a musical journey across Europe in the upcoming variety show "Nation's Singer." The show will take audiences through Germany and Spain, featuring spontaneous encounters and 100% live performances sure to grab global attention.

Unlike previous music programs that focused on showcase-style busking, "Nation's Singer" will offer an 'open mic' format. This means anyone, from K-pop fans to famous international artists, can join in and sing.

In the episode "Nation's Singer - Munich, Germany," Suzy will step back into the spotlight as a vocalist, showcasing her powerful singing skills. ATEEZ will represent K-pop with members Jongho and Hongjoong, while unique singer-songwriter Sunwoo Jung-A, talented singer Sohyang, and musical genius Henry will bring their emotional performances. The Vienna Boys' Choir and Munich Opera Chamber Choir will also make special appearances.

For the "Nation's Singer - Mallorca, Spain" episode, Hwasa, Sohyang, Henry, and charismatic vocalist An Shin-Ae will perform together. Guests include world-renowned tenor Plácido Domingo and Spanish national singer Álvaro Soler, promising a spectacular show that bridges cultures.

"Nation's Singer" will debut on November 2nd at 10:35 PM.
