With the release of a special album, CONTINUUM, and plans for an international vocal competition, a national tour and global performances, she has signaled fresh artistic directions and expanded repertoire ahead.<\/p>\n<p> At a press conference on May 6 at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam, Jo reflected on her career and outlined ongoing creative ambitions.<\/p>\n<p> Jo made her international debut in 1986 at Italy\u2019s Verdi Theatre and was hailed as \u201ca voice from the gods.\u201d Over four decades she has established herself as a true prima donna on the world\u2019s stages. She has also pushed the boundaries of classical singing through crossovers into jazz, musical theater and even K-pop.<\/p>\n<p> The year 2026 holds special significance for Jo, and she plans to keep challenging herself. Her debut project will include the special album CONTINUUM, a tour of roughly 20 cities across Korea plus international concerts, and the Sumi Jo International Vocal Competition.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cWhen I showed the 40th-anniversary album to my staff and younger colleagues, many of them hadn\u2019t even been born yet,\u201d Jo said. \u201cIt made me realize how long I\u2019ve been onstage. I\u2019m grateful for these 40 years. I want to tell my younger self, \u2018You did well. You came a long way. I\u2019m proud of you.\u2019 It hasn\u2019t been easy, but I\u2019ve worked hard, and I\u2019m proud to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2025-0118\/image-c6ac0f54-7efc-49e8-b76d-7c654a63d59e.jpeg\" alt=\"\uc18c\ud504\ub77c\ub178\" \uc870\uc218\ubbf8\uac00 6\uc77c \uc11c\uc6b8 \uac15\ub0a8\uad6c \uadf8\ub79c\ub4dc \uc778\ud130\ucee8\ud2f0\ub128\ud0c0 \uc11c\uc6b8 \ud30c\ub974\ub098\ub974\uc5d0\uc11c \uc5f4\ub9b0 \uc138\uacc4 \ubb34\ub300 \ub370\ubdd4 40\uc8fc\ub144 \uae30\uc790\uac04\ub2f4\ud68c\uc5d0\uc11c \ucde8\uc7ac\uc9c4\uc758 \uc9c8\ubb38\uc5d0 \ub2f5\uc744 \ud558\uace0 \uc788\ub2e4. \uc0ac\uc9c4 | \ubc15\uc9c4\uc5c5 \uae30\uc790 upandup@sportsseoul.com class=\"img_LSize\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n \u25c7 &#8216;A Voice from the Gods&#8217; and Crossover Between K-pop and Classical\n<\/div>\n<p> The project\u2019s first move is the special album CONTINUUM. The title, from Latin meaning \u201ccontinuing,\u201d signals Jo\u2019s intention to carry on evolving.<\/p>\n<p> The 11-track album blends personal material, a technically demanding Russian coloratura aria she had not previously recorded, and new works by domestic and international composers. Rather than selecting pieces that fit a prescribed image, Jo chose music that follows the arc of her life and explores new genres.<\/p>\n<p> To produce the album she signed an exclusive agreement with SM Classics, SM Entertainment\u2019s classical and jazz label. To merge the depth of traditional classical music with contemporary textures, the album features a duet with EXO\u2019s Suho, a contribution from violinist Danny Gu, and performances with the Bucheon Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Choi Young-sun.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI put a coloratura aria\u2014one I\u2019ve always found difficult to sing\u2014on the first track,\u201d Jo said. She described collaborating with new composers who seemed to understand her inner life: the feelings she had leaving for study in Italy, her apprehension about French art song, longing for home, and reflections on the world beyond this life. \u201cI walked along the Seine worrying about the future; I gave up someone I loved. The album captures personal sorrow and excitement,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I sing \u2018Arirang Cantabile,\u2019 I picture my parents\u2014those who always worried and loved me. The record contains every moment that was deep, hard, and at the same time rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2025-0118\/image-60f4d431-576a-422d-b384-0e2932c60ddd.jpeg\" alt=\"\uc18c\ud504\ub77c\ub178\" \uc870\uc218\ubbf8\uac00 6\uc77c \uc11c\uc6b8 \uac15\ub0a8\uad6c \uadf8\ub79c\ub4dc \uc778\ud130\ucee8\ud2f0\ub128\ud0c0 \uc11c\uc6b8 \ud30c\ub974\ub098\ub974\uc5d0\uc11c \uc5f4\ub9b0 \uc138\uacc4 \ubb34\ub300 \ub370\ubdd4 40\uc8fc\ub144 \uae30\uc790\uac04\ub2f4\ud68c\uc5d0\uc11c \ucde8\uc7ac\uc9c4\uc744 \ud5a5\ud574 \ud3ec\uc988\ub97c \ucde8\ud558\uace0 \uc788\ub2e4. \uc0ac\uc9c4 | \ubc15\uc9c4\uc5c5 \uae30\uc790 upandup@sportsseoul.com class=\"img_LSize\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n \u25c7 A &#8216;Memory Trip&#8217; Begins in Changwon, Where Her Parents\u2019 Presence Lingers\n<\/div>\n<p> Jo will bring the program to audiences at home and abroad.
