Singer turned actor Sin Seong-woo will hold his first solo concert in Japan October 21 at the Nakano Sun Plaza in Tokyo.
He first became known to the Japanese audience through his dramas 'First Love', 'Wild Funny Girl', and 'Man in Crisis', after which he released a photo album in Japan. He also held three fan meetings in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima and participated in a Korea-Japan arts exhibition.
But the upcoming concert is another step forward, as it is not only for his fans but for the general public.
His management agency Orange Note says that the concert was proposed by K-Wave, which has organized many K-POP singers' concerts such as the K-POP Super Live. K-Wave says it thought over the offer for over a year. Noting that dance songs and ballads comprised most Korean concerts held in Japan until now, it says Shin's concert will showcase Korean rock, as rock music rules the J-POP market.
In fact, it hasn't been long since Japanese fans first became aware of Sin's singing career prior to becoming an actor. The fact that he is also a singer came to the fore after he released the album 'Encounter' in September, after a 6-year hiatus.
