Japanese singer Kenshi Yonezu is staging his first concert in Taiwan tomorrow, performing at the National Taiwan University Sports Center in Taipei. To celebrate his first overseas tour, he released the digital version of his new single Flamingo two weeks ago. The CD version of this No. 1 song hits the market today.
Yonezu took the charts by storm last year with his massive hit Lemon, which was Billboard Japan’s 2018 Song of the Year. The 28-year-old singer can sometimes be a little mysterious, and had not performed on TV until his live TV debut late last year.
Suho and Kai of South Korean boyband EXO are also visiting Taiwan tomorrow. They will throw a party in Taipei just as the group’s variety show has become the most-watched program on Line TV. In response to the rumor that EXO’s D.O. may not renew his contract when it expires, their agency SM Entertainment says that there is still a long time left on his contract.
