[TRANS] 110502 Set Off On A Cruise With Girls’ Generation And TVXQ

The nation’s biggest cruise liner will set sail in January, 2012 where passengers will be able to enjoy performances from top Hallyu stars such as Girls’ Generation.

AllThatCruise held a ‘Korean Cruise Establishment press conference’ on the 2nd and announced its plans to create the nation’s biggest cruise liner of 74,000 tons dubbed the ‘Hallyu Star’.

The ‘Hallyu Star’ will stop at major ports in China, Japan and Korea and will present passengers with a variety of Hallyu-related cultural products as well as performances from Hallyu stars loved by Asia.

To accomplish this, AllThatCruise has signed a memorandum of understanding(MOU) with SM Entertainment-affiliated company SM Art Company for the provision of Hallyu performances as well as a letter of intent(LOI) with CJ CGV regarding tentative plans for an on-board cinema.

Therefore, passengers of the ‘Hallyu Star’ can expect to enjoy performances from Hallyu stars such as Girls’ Generation, BoA and TVXQ as well as Hallyu movies and dramas airing in Korea.

CEO Lee Kang Ok of AllThatCruise stated, “We will be arriving at each nation’s ports in one to two day intervals, so passengers will be able to enjoy performances from Hallyu stars as they wait to leave the cruise liner at the next stop and explore a new destination,” and “Through the 6 day package we will be providing, passengers will be able to enjoy various aspects of the Hallyu culture such as Korea’s food and traditional performances.”

It will cost approximately 190 USD per person for a day with the total 6 day package costing 1.2 million Won (approximately 1,115 USD).

CEO Lee emphasized that the package was not expensive considering what was being offered as he added, “If one takes into consideration the fact that those who purchase the 6 day package will have unlimited access to the cruise liner’s additional facilities, such as the restaurants, swimming pools and performances, one will see that it costs less to experience what the cruise liner has to offer than to pursue these activities independently in Korea.”

AllThatCruise has finally claimed ownership of ‘Hallyu Star’ after spending seven years paying back all funds, from companies such as KSF Ship Finance, Asia Trust, that was used to construct the new enterprise. It is one that AllThatCruise confidently affirms will succeed as the cruise liner industry has been growing at an average rate of 12.2% per year.

With January, 2012 set as the month to launch the enterprise, AllThatCruise intends to expand the business to the Mediterranean with the addition of a 100,000 ton cruise liner in 2014.

AllThatCruise also expects to become a leading cruise liner company of the world by launching a total of four 150,000 ton cruise liners between 2016 and 2020 in order to expand routes to Europe, North American and the Middle East.

TVXQ (Yunho and Changmin) made their big Korean comeback in January with their 5th studio album "Why (Keep Your Head Down)" after their last album release in 2008. Fans showed their continued support to the group despite only 2 members taking part of the album. TVXQ were the first group to achieve the 100,000 units of album sold for 2011 and were followed by Big Bang and CNBLUE.

Now, it seems that the duo will move on to Japan for promotional activities. They had also released the Japanese single, "Why (Keep Your Head Down)," but promotions were kept to a minimum.

According to their official Japanese site (toho-jp.net), Yunho and Changmin will release a new song titled "I Don't Know" on May 11th. The song will be released on both mu-mo and the Japanese mobile music site, Rekochoku.

"This time, it's South America!"

TVXQ, BoA, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, f(x) and other SM Entertainment artists are preparing for a tour in South America. According to SM Entertainment representatives, the company is currently planning to hold a series of "SM Town Live" concerts in South American countries such as Brazil and Chile in July.

The South American tour has been in the planning stage since last year, when SM Entertainment artists embarked on the "SM Town World Tour" and held an unforgettable concert in Los Angeles, USA.

Due to the popularity of Kpop and SM Entertainment artists in South America, the company plans to tap into this untouched market with a series of concerts in the continent. In February, a Brazilian program asked viewers "Which Korean singer do you want to come to Brazil?" and SM Entertainment artists dominated the results, with Super Junior, BoA, SNSD and SHINee taking the #1 to #4 spots.

SM Entertainment is already taking major steps in making their mark in foreign countries, as it was recently announced that on June 10th, SM artists will hold "SM Town in Paris" and mark Europe's first Kpop concert everhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif. Tickets for the show sold out within 15 minutes and large-scale protests are happening all over Europe for SM Entertainment to add another concert date.

Last year, SM Town held concerts in Los Angeles, Shanghai, Seoul and Tokyo. This year, SM Entertainment will expand into two continents that Kpop artists have never stepped into, Europe and South America.

SM Entertainment representatives stated, "SM's ripple effect is really amazing. They have already taken over USA, China and Japan and are now accomplishing the unheard precedent of going to Europe and South America. Isn't this the path of a true 'World Star'?"
