Buzz started to build around Hallyu star Kim Hyun-joong, as the artist is a little over a week away from kicking off his fan meeting tour in Asia next week.
The Korean belter is one step closer to meeting his fans in the region, which marks the first official meet-and-greet for Kim, an official from Kim's agency KEYEAST told 10Asia in a phone interview on Wednesday.
According to the artist's official website, he will have the Singapore leg of his meet-and-greet held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on May 4, Hong Kong leg at the Asia world Expo Arena on May 12 and two sets of Taiwan leg at the NTU Sport Center on May 18 and 19.
Kim will then fly to China to hold his fan meetings in four cities: in Chengdu at the Sichuan Gymnasium on June 1, in Guangzhou at the Guangzhou Tiahe Stadium on June 2, in Shanghai at the Shanghai Gymnasium on June 9 and his final destination in Beijing at the Beijing MasterCard Center on June 10.
"Though it's a fan meeting, there will be many performances to his songs and events that would make his fans feel like they're at a concert," she explained.
Making his debut as a member of K-pop group SS501 in 2005, he has concurrently pursued his career as an actor by starring in KBS' teenage series "Boys Over Flowers" with actor Lee Min-hoo in 2005.
After the series made a big hit, not just in Korea but in Asian countries, the star became a household name in the Hallyu phenomenon.
Further details about Kim's tour and its ticketing information are available at his official website.
