On 23rd April, 7PM, popular Korean singers including 2AM, 4Minute, BEAST, F.Cuz, MBLAQ and Rumble Fish will bring forth a Korean wave concert in Shanghai, China. A concert tour of such scale by Korean pop groups is extremely rare, hence it is only possible to bring the concert tour to 1 or 2 cities in China. In the end, it came to a conclusion that the concert will be held in Shanghai and Nanjing.
Ticket sale has already commenced via the official Shanghai website for the Shanghai stop. Despite the highest priced tickets being sold at 1680RMB each, it is not a cause for concern as Shanghai has always been an area of heavy Hallyu fanatic concentration. Also, there are other various kinds of tickets with largely differing prices, which can cater to the fans' different needs.
Since this is the first time for Korean artists to hold ticket-signing events, all those who purchased the 1680RMB tickets are entitled to enter the ticket-signing event on 10th April and After Party on 23th April.
Groups like 2AM, 4Minute, BEAST, F.Cuz, MBLAQ and Rumble Fish are currently the hottest groups in Korea, but as they are based in different agencies, it is difficult to have them perform on the same stage of a huge concert, especially in foreign land. Their tour in Asia this time is a rare chance for all K-pop fans.
2AM, 4Minute and BEAST have performed in China. Shanghai is familiar to them too. The environment in Shanghai as well as the Chinese fans' enthusiasm are reasons for their fancy in performing in China. They also hope that they can bring their best performance to those fans who have been supporting them.
For MBLAQ, F.Cuz, and Rumble Fish, it will be their first time performing in China, and they are even more excited than their fans. Unfortunately, MBLAQ's Mir has injured himself when he was practising his dance for this concert. He is fine currently after medicial treatment. 2AM's Jo Kwon has fallen off the stage during a previous concert but his injury will not affect his performance.
There are also 2 groups of mysterious guests, who will only reveal their identities during the concert itself. The entire concert will last more than 3 hours.
