Fans all over the world trend cities in hopes of SMTOWN tour stops

SM Entertainment’s expansion into Europe with the first K-pop concert “SM Town Live in Paris” has triggered an enormous reaction from fans all over the world wanting their own “SM Town Live” concert in their own country and city. In mid-April, SM Entertainment announced ”SM Town Live in Paris” at Le Zenith in Paris, France, which holds approximately 6,000 seats in comparison to SM Town LA’s venue which held 20,000. Tickets for the Paris concert were sold out in 15 minutes and left many European fans ticketless for this historic concert.
European fans began to protest in attempt to get a chance and a second date to attend the concert. Over a thousand fans responded to Korean Connection’s call for the Louvre (Paris) protest on Sunday May 1st, and hundreds of K-pop fans attended to show their love for K-pop music. The Louvre protest attracted local French media, as well as Korean media including Yonhap News, SBS, MBC, and KBS reporters.
According to Korean Connection, additional protests have been planned by fans all across Europe including Bordeaux, Lyon, Toulouse, Nantes, Lille, Marseille, Tour, Strasbourg, Metz, Poitiers, Nimes, Genève, Madrid, Barcelona, and Munich.
As a result of the successful Paris protest, SM Entertainment replied that they will be considering a second additional “SM Town Live in Paris” concert, but must check with their artists’ schedules first before confirming the second date.


Earlier this week, SM Entertainment announced plans to enter the Latin America market with an SM Town concert in July. Fans located in South America gave fiery reactions with SM Entertainment revealing their plans and possibilities to visit South American countries such as Brazil and Chile.
The Mexican media has also opened itself up to the K-pop wave. TV Azteca has received lots of love ever since givingtheir first K-pop coverage on “Venga la Alegria” at the end of April. Because of the positive reaction from K-pop fans in Mexico, “Venga la Alegria” will be showing 90 seconds of K-pop every Wednesday.
A very well known K-pop mixer, DJ Masa (Carlos Brandão) is from Brazil himself. He has gained international fame for his top-notch remixes, including his famous “yearly mashups,” in which he takes the hottest songs of the year and mashes them together into one unique sounding song. Masa is known to be a very big fan of Korean K-pop Queen BoA Kwon, and it has been reported that many fans hope that he will someday become the opening act for an SM Town concert, preferably “SM Town Live in Brazil.”
K-pop fans all over the world have gotten into a frenzy to get SM Entertainment’s attention to get SM Town to perform in their country and city. Over 11,000 fans have “liked” the Facebook page for “SM Town Live in Mexico.”

Rain announces new album + world tour for 2011!

On this week’s episode of KBS2’s ‘Entertainment Relay’, Rain was featured on the ‘Guerilla Date‘corner and he expressed his desire to serve actively in the military.

“I will be enlisting in the latter half of next year,” announced the singer. With half a year left before he leaves for the army, many are wondering how Rain plans to spend his time.

To start off, Rain is scheduled to release a brand new solo album. “We will release an album and have plans for a world tour,” said his agency. Since 2010 marked a year of films and dramas for the star, Rain wants to focus on his music career for 2011.

Regarding his enlistment, Rain expressed, “I think of it as a vacation. I’m not worried about enlisting. In fact, I think it will make me a better person.”

Meanwhile, on the same show, Rain surprised viewers by mentioning that his current body condition is that of a 40-year-old’s.

“I recently had a health screening, and the results showed that my body age was 40 years old. I’ve been exercising well, but apparently my excessive diet and the overworking of my body has caused it to be worn down,” said the singer.

He continued, “I need to find my six pack again, but I still need two more. I think it will come back by the time I have my concert.”
