Top Korean stars such as Ji Jin-hee, Cho In-sung and Cha Tae-hyun will gather for the ``Hallyu Romantic Festival” at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan on June 23.
Yonhap News reported other Korean actors who will attend the event include Gong Yoo, Jang Hyuk, Cha Tae-hyun and Yoon Gye-sang. K-pop artists Kim Jung-hoon, SS501 and Shinhwa members Lee Min-woo, Shin Hye-sung, and Jun Jin will also perform during the event.
Korean actors and singers are already popular in Japan, since many Korean dramas and movies have already been shown there. Shinhwa and SS501 have already staged successful concerts in Japan last year.
Organizers said the event is expected to attract around 30,000 fans. Korean broadcasting company SBS and Japanese broadcasting company Fuji TV will broadcast the ``Hallyu, Romantic Festival 2007” in both countries.
