A local hotel is preparing a special event for Japanese fans of singer Shin Seung-hoon who have come from afar to see their favorite singer. The event will be held Dec. 30-31 for some 1,000 Japanese fans at the Great Western Hall of the Convention and Exhibition Center (COEX) in Samseong-dong, Seoul.

A large hanging banner featuring Shin`s photograph will be posted on the building of the hotel that is accommodating the Japanese guests. A hotel information desk providing Japanese-language interpretation services will be operated around the clock, and Shin`s hit songs will be played throughout the entire three-day period of the guests` stay. The Japanese fans will also be invited to try their luck at upgrading their rooms to the `suite room` level through drawing.

Shin`s concert is being organized at the request of his Korean and Japanese fans. The concert`s organizer, Good Concert, said it is the first time more than one thousand Japanese fans have visited Korea to attend a solo concert of a singer and not a hallyu actor, demonstrating enormous interest.
