South Korean pop star Rain will soon share his music and dance
skills with music fans in Shanghai.
Rain - real name is Jung Ji-hoon - will present his
one-night-only Shanghai concert at the Shanghai Stadium on April
14, part of his world tour which kicked off in Seoul last month and
will take in 12 countries and regions including the United States
and Singapore.
About 60 percent of the tickets, priced between 120 yuan (US$15)
and 1,880 yuan, have already been booked, mainly by Rain's fans
clubs and several corporations, according to the local promoter
Shanghai Bellson.
"Shanghai is the first stop of Rain's world tour on the Chinese
mainland," said Jin Xiaojing from Shanghai Bellson. "After that
Rain will give another six shows at China's major cities through
mid-May."
The 25-year-old star is hailed for his good looks, spellbinding
dance moves and stage presence. In addition to his hits, a special
section will be included in Rain's Shanghai concert, during which
the star may perform martial arts and popular Chinese songs.
