The topic of discussion being the launch of a new global concert brand ‘M-Live‘. Ahn Suk Jun of CJ E&M remarked, “This is the first global concert brand that we’re currently working on with the top names in the industry.” “K-POP has well established in Korea as well as Asia, but now we want to effectively enlarge our territories in South America as well as the Middle East. We will continue to work on spreading the Hallyu wave world-wide. Our goals are that in the future, not only K-POP but Korean entertainment overall will be established globally.” Agencies housing today’s hottest Hallyu stars also expressed their anticipation for K-pop’s global advancement though ‘M-Live’. Representative Hong stated, “We have done a lot of shows like this before, but we never had enough information about the local community, and we ran into a lot of problems. It’s advantageous for us to partner with a large enterprise when we try to go overseas, it will be much more organized and effective.” Representative Shin remarked, “We definitely run into issues overseas. When artists travel to perform in other countries, we don’t have any accurate information and sometimes the local performance organizers are nowhere to be found, mid-performance. I think working with CJ E&M should alleviate these sorts of problems.” J Tune Media’s MBLAQ are planning their Japan & Asia Tour. [omitted other stuff] Source: allkpop re-up by absoluteMBLAQ.net
