Group SG Wannabe to Perform in Japan in May

The male trio SG Wannabe will begin full-fledged activities in Japan in May.

An official from the music group's agency, GM Planning, said on Mar. 22, "SG Wannabe will give its first solo concert in Japan. The concert will be held at the Stellar Hall of Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo, Japan on May 13".

At the upcoming performances to be held two times that day at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., SG Wannabe will sing its hit songs such as "Timeless", "Crime and Punishment" and "Gwang" (maniac) as well as OST songs from Korean TV dramas that were smash hits in Japan. SG Wannabe began drawing Japanese fans when its song "While I'm Living", the theme song of the TV drama "Sad Love Story", became famous in Japan.

The official from the music group's agency expressed optimism, saying, "Although we have never carried out any PR activities for SG Wannabe in Japan, many Japanese fans have either sent fan letters to the group or visited our agency simply based on the group's music that they've listened to. The group's first solo concert in Japan will likely turn out to be a success".

The agency official also said, "With its great experience onstage, SG Wannabe plans to surprise its fans with a special performance at its upcoming first solo concert in Japan".

Actors Song Seung-heon and So Ji-sub will deliver congratulatory video messages at the upcoming concert in Japan. SG Wannabe will release its third album in the country on Apr. 5. Songs featured in the album will be introduced beforehand via MaxMP3 late this month.
