JYJ to perform in Europe
By Kwon Mee-yoo
K-pop group JYJ will head to Europe for concerts in Spain in October and Germany in November.
The boy band, composed of Je-jung, Yu-chun and Jun-su, will hold their first European concert at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona on Oct. 29.
Then JYJ will then travel to Berlin to for their second concert in Europe on Nov. 6.
C-JeS Entertainment, the group’s agency, said it is in talks with Tempodrom about holding the concert in Berlin.
“After releasing the album ’The Beginning’ worldwide we were asked to hold concerts not only in Western Europe but in Eastern and Northern Europe. We chose Spain and Germany to attract fans from all over the continent,” the agency said. “We will not differentiate much from the Asia and the U.S. tour, but are excited to meet new fans in Europe.”
Meanwhile, the group will release their first album in Korean “In Heaven.” It will feature 10 songs, including the title track “In Heaven,” composed by Je-jung, “Get Out” and “You’re.”
The album is available for pre-order from Friday at 10 a.m. at major record shops and online stores.
