Jung Yong-hwa, a South Korean actor and member of boy band CNBlue, has revealed that he plans to become a solo artist in the future.

“I am currently preparing for my solo album and concerts. I wish to hold my own world tour and fan meeting soon,” the singer was quoted as saying during “Sweet Melody,” the first of his two solo fan meetings held in Tokyo on Sunday.

The meetings were held at 1:30 p.m and 6 p.m., and the 5,000 and 10,000 tickets alloted for the events sold out quickly, according to Jung’s agency FNC Entertainment.

The fan meeting started off with a performance of Jung’s self-composed song “Feeling.” During the show, Jung sang various songs requested by his fans prior to the event, including other songs written by Jung such as “Monday,” “Try Again, Smile Again,” “Because I Miss You” and “You’ve Fallen for Me” from the original soundtrack of his drama “Heartstrings.”

Jung also put on special events for his fans, imitating romantic scenes from “Heartstrings” and showing video clips of greetings from his celebrity friends, including singer IU, Lee Joon of MBLAQ and actress Yoon Eun-hye.

The 25-year-old heartthrob gained fast popularity worldwide by appearing in both dramas and music. His group CNBlue recently released its album “Wave” in Japan, which instantly topped the Oricon chart upon its release. Jung is also currently acting in tvN’s drama “The Three Musketeers,” playing Park Dal-hyang, one of the main characters.
