`Hallyu` stars Lee Byung-heon and Choi Ji-woo will appear in the final `Beautiful Days` concert in Tokyo, Japan, next month. Japanese dailies including Sankei Sports and Sports Nippon reported April 13 that the two stars will visit Japan to participate in the final concert to be held May 6-7 at the Tokyo International Forum. The Japanese media wrote that while Lee and Choi`s visit has been confirmed, the organizers of the concert still have to decide in what manner the two will appear onstage. Apparently, they will greet their fans onstage, and the best scenes of the drama `Beautiful Days` will be shown onscreen. Japanese newspapers are placing high expectations on the concert as it will be the first time Lee and Choi will appear in Japan in public together. The `Beautiful Days` concerts were staged to celebrate the popularity of the same-titled miniseries starring Lee and Choi. `Beautiful Days` gained enormous popularity in Japan when it aired after `Winter Sonata.`The concerts have been held eight times between March 8 and April 11 in the Tokyo International Forum and the Festival Hall in Osaka. The final concert featuring Lee and Choi will become a kind of grand finale celebrating the drama`s success. "The popularity of drama-related concerts in Japan can be ascribed to the fact that they present audiences with an opportunity to see `hallyu` stars in person. We are doing our utmost to ensure the success of this concert,` said Yedang Entertainment, Choi`s agency and the concert`s organizer. |
