Choi Min-soo, best known as a tough-guy actor in productions such as “The Hourglass,” has announced that his rock band 36.5˚C will kick off a 10-city nationwide concert tour beginning in June.

The 50-year-old actor first entered the music scene in 2006 with the release of his band’s debut album “The Men’s Story” under the name Choi Min-soo Rocksan Band. After Choi’s music career went quiet for several years, he finally introduced his latest rock band 36.5˚C and performed on stage at the Ulsan Jazz Festival in 2011.

The band officially released its two-track debut titled “Smoky Mountain” in February of this year. Choi ― who wrote, composed and performed both songs ― reportedly received help on his latest album from Boohwal guitarist Kim Tae-won.

On Saturday night, Choi’s band took the stage during the monthly Seoul Live Music Festa showcases at the Rolling Hall in Hongdae.
