Baek Z Young, Queen Of The K-Drama OST, Will Perform This August In LA & NYC

Singer Baek Ji Young, also known as Baek Z Young, will be heating up stages in the U.S. this summer.

Baek has scheduled two U.S. stops as part of her upcoming world tour, according to Powerhouse.

The "Don't Forget" hitmaker will perform at Club Nokia in L.A. on Thursday, August 28 and at Lincoln Center's Avery Fischer Hall on Saturday, August 30 for her first U.S. tour, titled "Sentimental Memories."

Baek Ji Young has been dubbed as the "Queen of the OST," due to her constant contributions to the original soundtracks of major Korean dramas, including "Iris" and "Rooftop Prince." The newly married singer even won the Outstanding Korean Drama OST award at the 2011 Seoul International Drama Awards for "That Woman" from the drama "Secret Garden."

An album titled "Flash Back" was released with a collection of her soundtrack contributions as well.

Baek Ji Young has also collaborated with other prominent artists in the K-pop world, including 2PM's Taecyeon, BEAST's Young Jun Hyung and Gary of Leesang.

Tickets for her L.A. concert will go on sale through Powerhouse and AXS on Tuesday, July 20 with prices ranging from $53.30 to $133.50. Ticket information for her Avery Fischer Hall concert will be announced shortly.

In the midst of her upcoming world tour, the "After A Long Time" singer was involved in a lawsuit with a plastic surgeon who reportedly used her photos for commercial purposes without permission.

The Seoul Central District Court for civil appeals ruled in favor of Baek Ji Young in the case against plastic surgeon Mr. Song, who runs a cosmetic surgery clinic in Songpagu, Seoul, according to News1.

The court reportedly ruled for 3 million KRW in compensation.

"We noticed that Mr. Song used Ms. Baek's photos and name on his plastic surgery clinic's blog with the goal of attracting visitors to it for promotional purposes. . . Since Mr. Song used Baek Ji Young's name and photos without permission for profit, it was a violation of her personal rights," the court stated, according to the publication Allkpop.
