Pop sensation Lady Gaga is making good on her promise to come back to Seoul for a solo concert. She will be back for a concert Aug. 9 at Olympic Hall, Olympic Park, as part of ``The Fame Ball Tour.''

Since her debut last year, Lady Gaga has topped the charts around the world with dance songs like ``Just Dance,'' ``Poker Face,'' ``Paparazzi,'' and ``Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say).'' Her flamboyant stage performances and taste for avant-garde and haute couture fashion also attracted much attention, leading some to call her the ``new Madonna.''

The 23-year-old New York native visited Seoul three weeks ago to promote her album ``The Fame.'' During her press conference, Lady Gaga said she was overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reception from Korean fans.

Lady Gaga, who is currently planning a fall tour with hip-hop star Kanye West in the U.S., had hinted then at a possible concert in Seoul, although she gave no details.

Korean fans were given a taste of what to expect from Lady Gaga during a show at Club Answer, Cheongdam-dong, June 17. She had the crowd of 600 fans on their feet and dancing as she performed songs like ``Beautiful Dirty Rich'' and ``Love Game.''

Lady Gaga proved she also had the vocal chops when she sang an acoustic version of ``Poker Face,'' while playing the piano.

Lady Gaga obviously takes her music, fashion, and performances quite seriously. The show also featured a quirky, short film ``I Shot Candy Warhol'' starring Lady Gaga herself.

``You can say the philosophy of Gaga is fashion-music-technology-performance art. It's an interactive experience for the audience. I design everything together and New York is the nexus of my inspiration. I was born and raised in New York City. I am inspired by street fashion and the attitude. Andy Warhol is a huge inspiration of mine and I have a lot of Pop Art elements in the show. I am so passionate about my music,'' she said.
