Kim Bum prepares special events for his first Japanese album release

Actor Kim Bum is gearing up for the promotion of his first studio album in Japan!

Scheduled for release on June 20th, Kim Bum will be meeting with fans at the ‘Venus Port’ in Odaiba on the 24th to celebrate the release of his first album. He will also be participating in various interviews with different media outlets before making his way back to Korea on the 25th.

The event will be large scale in that it’ll accommodate about 1,500 fans in an open area. He’ll be singing and answering questions followed by a special handshake event to bid everyone farewell.

Kim Bum has always shown his musical talents through OST participations in his dramas like ‘Boys Over Flowers‘ and ‘The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry‘. Now that he’s releasing his very own Japanese album, he’ll be embarking on the road of becoming a well-rounded Hallyu star capable of both singing and acting.

His album will contain a total of seven songs filled with the sweet scent of summer like his title track ballad, “Home Town“. Produced under ‘Pony Canyon’, the album is the work of producer Park Geun Chul, who’s known for several Korean OST hits already. Park worked in hand with writer Shirai Yuki and SATOMI, who’s penned the lyrics for songs like SMAP‘s “It’s a Wonderful World“, Nakashima Mika‘s “Snow Flower“, and KAT-TUN‘s “Precious One” and “I’ll Be With You“.
