It is official. Singer-songwriter Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji Hoon, just announced that his upcoming Japan tour will kick off on April 27.
On Feb. 14, Tuesday, it was confirmed that the 34-year-old singer will be holding six fan meeting in three different cities in Japan, according to his agency R.A.I.N. Company, as cited by The Kpop Herald. The meet-and-greet event, dubbed "The Confession," is scheduled to kick off on April 27 at the Aichi Arts Center in Nagoya, Japan.
It will then be followed on April 29 at the Orix Theater in Osaka, Japan, before Rain makes its way to the Omiya Sonic City in Saitama, Japan on May 05. Prices for the upcoming fan meetings starts at 10,800 JYP ($95).
"Rain will hold six fan meetings in three different cities," a representative from R.A.I.N. Company said. "He's trying to make the upcoming events more meaningful for fans."
Aside from the upcoming Japan tour, Rain is also set to release a new album sometime in March. The coming not-yet-titled album is the follow-up to the singer's sixth studio album "Rain Effect" that was released in 2014.
This comes weeks after Rain made his comeback with the single "The Best Present." Produced by singer PSY, the said track was actually the singer's marriage proposal to actress Kim Tae Hee, now his wife.
Kim and Rain, who met on a television commercial set in 2011, tied the knot at the Gahoe-Dong Catholic Church on Jan. 19. Instead of an extravagant ceremony, the wedding was a quiet one that had a few members of the couple's immediate family, close friends, and heads of their management agencies.
In a recent sit-down interview with the local media, as cited by Soompi, the actress explained why they opted for a small and intimate wedding ceremony. She said they did not want to hold an extravagant wedding when the current economic status of South Korea is not in good condition.
"We were apologetic that everything was so secretive," Kim added. "That's why we made sure to at least appear in front of the public when we left and came back from our honeymoon."
