Korean singer Shin Hye-sung will hold his solo concert in Korea next month, his first performance in the country in a year and a half.

A press release from PR firm The J Story on Thursday announced that the singer will take the stage at AX-Korea in Seoul for his concert titled "Close To You" on December 4 and 5.

He will perform new arrangements of his songs with an acoustic and string band as well as introduce new tracks from his album, which will be released in mid-November.

"I get very nervous just thinking about performing in front of my fans in Korea and I am working hard to prepare a great concert for them," Shin was quoted as saying.

Shin, whose real name is Jung Pil-kyo, made his debut as the lead vocalist for the popular boy band Shinhwa in 1998. He embarked on a solo singing career in May 2005, releasing several albums in Korea as well as branching out into the Japanese music market.

Tickets for Shin's concert "Close To You" will be available starting online tonight.

Online fashion website Interpark has reportedly filed for a $500,000 lawsuit against singer Lee Hyori with the argument that her actions as a singer had enormous negative impacts on its business.

Back in June, singer Lee Hyori publicly admitted to plagiarizing for the majority of her songs in her fourth album, which was released in the beginning of the year. Soon thereafter, Lee Hyori abruptly discontinued her activities as a singer, as well as stopped modeling for the internet fashion website, Interpark, for whom she renewed a contract with last August.

Representatives of Interpark stated, "Due to the collapse of Lee Hyori's bright and respectable public image, the financial losses and damages to our company have been unbelievable. A mere calculation of the ramifications of Lee Hyori's early and illegal termination of her contract, as well as our inability to have her as our model already comes out to 492,880,000 Won (~$500,000). As soon as we have a more detailed and accurate calculation, we'll add to that amount."


It seems as though one of Korea's original female idols is going to have a hard time getting out of this one.

Wonder Girls watch out. A new Asian girl group is on the way.

FarWest Entertainment -- a production company helmed by former Walt Disney Company (Asia Pacific) president Jon Niermann -- and a group of Asian partners are behind a fledgling girl band enterprise called “Project Lotus.”

The concept behind “Project Lotus” is simple.

Get five talented girls from Korea, Japan, China, India and the Philippines. Pair them up with Grammy Award-winning producers Eliot Kennedy and Brian Grant. Give them songs composed by prominent song writers like Take That’s Gary Barlow. Get it all down on film and drop it on the world.


Grammy Award-winning producers Eliot Kennedy (left) and Brian Grant (center) are set to compose songs with Canto-pop singer Jonathan Wong for a new Pan-Asian girl group.

In the midst of pre-auditions, FarWest and team are busy culling talent from a variety of outlets, including the Internet, where hopefuls can upload their audition videos onto Project Lotus’ website (www.projectlotus.tv), Facebook page or their YouTube channel.

To date 850 girls have sent in their clips. The number could more than double by the Aug. 2 submission deadline.

Applicants need to be Asian women aged 18 to 25 who can speak English and sing and dance. Clips should feature hopefuls singing an English-language pop song.

According to production manager Laura Conway, video clips are just the beginning of an extensive auditioning process that includes country manager-hosted tryouts. Producers will also tour Asian cities to scout out candidates from performing arts schools, modeling agencies and local management companies.

“The candidates who are successful will be invited to attend a live audition in their capital city,” Conway explained via e-mail. “This audition will take place in front of a panel of celebrity judges.”

A group of 25 finalists, five from each country, will then fly to Hong Kong to take part in a six-week training process. One girl from each country will be eliminated every week until only five are left.

The resulting footage is slated to air in February and March. The album release is set for April.

“TV deals are currently in negotiation,” said Conway. “We intend that the television show will be broadcast throughout the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Asia.”

Of their desire to target an international audience of girls aged 6 to 14, Conway said: “We believe that the timing is right for singers from Asia to make it big in the West.”
