Pop music superstar Mariah Carey will visit Seoul in October to promote her latest album ``Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.''
A representative from Universal Music Korea said Carey will be coming to Seoul around the second week of October for a promotional tour.
While the plans are not yet finalized, Carey is expected to hold a press conference, a meeting with fans and television appearances.
``Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'' is Carey's long-awaited 12th album. The first single ``Obsessed'' had attracted attention because of the lyrics that supposedly attacked rapper Eminem. Carey subsequently denied the song was about him.
For her second single, Carey just released an R&B version of Foreigner's 1985 hit song ``I Want to Know What Love Is.''
Carey has won five Grammy Awards, including the much-coveted Best New Artist award in 1991 and Best Contemporary R&B album for the ``Emancipation of Mimi'' in 2006. She has also received 11 American Music Awards, including an honorary award in 2008.
Throughout her career, she racked up 18 number one singles on the American Billboard charts, which stayed on top for a total of 79 weeks.
