현대(現代))카드 슈퍼콘서트 비욘세 첫 내한(來韓)공연(公演)

[spoiler]Today's card - super concert, Beyonce's first visit to Korea performance[/spoiler]

I think this is what it meant but I wasn't too sure what 현대카드 is, I initially thought it was the car 현대. Brilliant way to learn vocab. by the way.

You got the 한자 charcters right. Do you know all of them by heart or did you look up a dictionary? Either way, it's amazing that you know them!

현대 카드 means....

[spoiler]현대 카드 is the name of a credit card service, and it's from the same family company that makes 현대 automobile so your guess was half right! [/spoiler]

Ah I must admit i had to use the Naver dictionary to translate those words(Korean to Hanja), but I do know some Hanja - (I am a BBC, British born Chinese).
