Cho Yong-pil is to fly to Japan to perform in Tokyo International Forum Hall for his concert, “One Night Special” on Nov. 7.
Cho’s last performance in Japan was in 1998, making this concert his first there in 15 years.
The singer is set to release the Japanese version of his 19th album “Hello” on Oct. 16 with 2PM member Taecyeon featuring on the title track. The lyrics for three track ― “Hello,” “Bounce,” and “Walking Along” ― have been translated into Japanese.
The K-pop veteran is also planning to release a music video, directed by Lumpens, for the track “Seollem” on Wednesday. The video will be released at 10 a.m. on Naver Music and will depict children playing in a fantasy world.
Cho is currently on a nationwide tour with “2013 Cho Yong-pil and the Great Birth Tour Concert HELLO.” He recently finished a performance in Suncheon and is moving on to cities such as Ulsan, Suwon, Gwangju and Changwon.
