U-Kiss to perform in three US cities

K-pop boy group U-Kiss will perform in New York on Jan. 9, San Francisco on the 11th and Los Angeles on the 14th, the group's agency said Tuesday. NH Media said that presales of VIP tickets sold out in just 30 seconds for the Los Angeles date, and eight minutes for the one in New York.

The group successfully completed a tour of three Peru, Colombia and Mexico in June this year. The group is down to five members ― Soohyun, Eli, Kiseop, Kevin, Hoon and AJ ― after Dongho recently left.

The group said it expects to go on a 15-nation world tour encompassing South America, Europe and Asia starting mid-2014.
