We’ve just received some amazing news — the Free NYC K-Pop Concert has been confirmed once again!
A concert organizer revealed exclusively to allkpop today that they had finally secured Overpeck Park in New Jersey for their venue. The free concert was on the verge of cancellation due to capacity issues, but it seems that’s blown over for now.
Organized by KBS, the Free NYC K-Pop Concert will be part of ‘The 29th Korean Festival’, ‘The 15th Agro Exhibition’, and ‘The 20th Anniversary UN Admission New York Korea Festival’. This two-day event will focus on Korean culture on the first day, and be entirely dedicated to K-Pop on the second day.
Not only will the concert see performances from the hottest K-Pop stars, but there’ll also be a special mystery guest who’s only going by ‘Mister K-Pop Idol’ for now!
allkpop would like to emphasize that fans refrain from contacting Overpeck Park for additional information. Again, please do not contact the park for additional information. The park will not have enough resources to handle the huge surge of interest from K-Pop fans, and it could aggravate another venue cancellation. Also, there will be no overnight camping at the park for this two-day event. If you have a burning question that you absolutely must ask, please hit up @eunduklee on Twitter.
allkpop will be there for both October 8th and 9th, so stay tuned for another surprise announcement!
Exact details and information about admissions and everything else you have questions about will be revealed soon through allkpop, who will be the first to update on this exciting event. Be sure to check back for exclusive updates, only on allkpop.
Tohoshinki, who are releasing their new album “TONE” on 28 September, have revealed a spot MV for the song 「B.U.T(BE-AU-TY)」which will be recorded in their new album.
The theme for the music video of 「B.U.T(BE-AU-TY)」is a battle in an underground street fight club, a manly Tohoshinki. Therefore, when shooting the scene in the fight club, many scary looking men were gathered, and even the staff were pressured by their presence.
Dealing with these intimidating men, were the two members of Tohoshinki. Yunho was previously a Aikido practitioner, and for the action scenes he could “draw from the past” and perform well. Without any special instructions from the director, the kicking scene was done in one take. This music video includes Tohoshinki’s powerful choreography, and as scene after scene was shot, the members checked the shots repeatedly, showing their full commitment as the video was completed.
Also, the first TV performance for 「B.U.T(BE-AU-TY)」 will be on 16 September on Asahi TV’s “Music Station 25th Anniversary Special.” As “Music Station” is going to be the first live broadcast (featuring Tohoshinki, of course), fans cannot miss this program.
Also, we have another piece of good news for the fans. Before the release of the albums, starting from 14 September, the new songs from “TONE” will be released via Recochoku, distributed as ChakuUta® for 7 days in a row. The distribution schedule is as follows:
14 September : 「Back to Tomorrow」 15 September : 「Duet」 16 September : 「B.U.T(BE-AU-TY)」 17 September : 「Weep」 18 September : 「Shiawase-Iro No Hana」 19 September : 「Telephone」 20 September : 「Easy Mind」

TVXQ have signed a friendship contract with the French fashion brand ‘Lacoste’ and will act as the brand’s honorary goodwill ambassadors.
This is the first time ‘Lacoste’ has signed a friendship contract domestically and TVXQ have once more proved their influence in not only the K-Pop market, but also the fashion industry.
A representative of Lacoste stated, “Korea has been providing a steady stream of surprisingly high sales recently so in order to expand this boom further, we have chosen Asia’s representative popular stars TVXQ to become friendship models for our brand. Through this friendship contract, we plan to expand the global brand Lacoste to younger buyers.”
TVXQ have been specially invited to the first collection of Lacoste’s creative director Felipe Oliveira Baptista that will be held in New York in September. There, they will be the center of attention for global fans and fashion industries. TVXQ will also take part in a dynamic photoshoot with New York as its background.
Meanwhile, TVXQ will begin activities as Lacoste’s honorary goodwill ambassadors in the second half of this year.
