MTV Asia: Win meet 'n' greet passes and tickets to K-Pop Heal the World (only to Singaporean)

Korean Pop has become a mainstay in Singapore’s concert schedules. Fanatics line up for days to purchase category 1 tickets, aspiring dancers mimic every glittery step of their favourite bands, and Korean superstars arrive to tides of screams and camera flashes on the sunny shores of Singapore.

K-Pop Heal the World, the much anticipated star-studded concert on June 4, 2011 at the Max Pavilion, Expo, intends to bedazzle audiences with top quality acts.

The concert also allows for fans to connect with their idols as each band will perform 5-6 songs each set, hold fan meets, meet-and-greet sessions, and press conferences. The focus is for these Korean artists to speak to the youth about natural disasters that have occurred around the world, whether it be the recent Japanese earthquake and Tsunami, the Haiti disasters, or the Indonesian volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. The Korean artists who have come onboard for K-Pop Heal the World can truly promote a cause, at the same time give concert -goers unbelievable performances of hip-hop dancing, moving ballads, catchy pop tunes, and crazy on-stage antics!

B2ST displays dominance over Asian music fans through their first solo concert

Although they debuted only last year, B2ST was able to confirm their command of the Asian music market through their first-ever solo concert, held recently on December 12th.

B2ST opened their ‘Welcome to B2ST Airlines’ concert at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium, where fans from not only Korea, but also from Japan, China, Hong Kong and Thailand came together to form the 8,000-member audience for the event.

But that’s not all – according to a representative from their agency, Cube Entertainment, both Korean and overseas fans who were unable to grab a ticket stood outside the venue in the cold, listening to the music and waiting for the concert to end so that they may catch a glimpse of their idols’ faces as they walked out.

The representative stated, “The day before the concert (11th), 5-6 fans from Taiwan who were unable to buy a ticket came to the company building and asking if there was any way for them to purchase a ticket. These fans prepared themselves with blankets so that they could wait outside the venue in case somebody would come and say that they weren’t able to attend, and were consequently looking to sell their tickets.”

In the end, there were about 10 people who came to the venue trying to sell their ticket, and 5-6 of those tickets were bought by international fans. It wasn’t confirmed whether those fans were the same Taiwanese fans who came to the company building.

After the concert, B2ST headed off to a restaurant with their guest performers and fellow agency artists (G.na and 4minute) to celebrate the end of the concert. The fans somehow found out which restaurant they went to and waited outside once again just to see their faces. Around about 100 fans were still waiting, even past midnight.

Micky Yoochun, JYJ Tour will be Held Along with ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ Broadcast

“The shooting schedule is pushed back, therefore there will be no disruptions in the drama broadcasts.”

Micky Yoochun’s KBS 2TV drama ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ has finished its shooting schedule coordination.

‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ production company, Raemongraein’s Lee HyunWook PD said on the 1st, “Starting mid-October, Micky Yoochun will leave to have shows in Souteast Asia region, but on the days where he doesn’t have performance schedule, he will be back to Korea to continue filming for the drama.”

The contract agreement signed by Micky Yoochun side and the production company of ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ states that the shooting shall be completed in September, however the filming has been delayed bit by bit that makes the filming is inevitably still continuing even in October.

The problem is Micky Yoochun and his fellow TVXQ members Youngwoong Jaejoong and Xiah Junsu that are active under group JYJ must come up with Asian tour live performance starting from mid-October. On the next 15th this month, JYJ will have live performance starting in Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Taipei, and many other countries.

Yet finally ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ that is planned to have total 20 episodes until November 2nd broadcast has compromised the shooting and live performance schedule.

The PD said, “Until September 30th, ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ has already had 10 episodes broadcasts, and we’re now currently in progress of filming about 15-16 times for the corresponding scenes.” he added, “As long as we’re be able to film scenes where Micky Yoochun takes part in this drama, the TV broadcasts will not have any disruptions.”

‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ will continue with its plan to broadcast 20 episodes until November 2nd.
