Famous K-pop stars are now holding successful concerts in various Southeast Asian countries which show that the diplomatic tension between Beijing and Seoul won’t be a problem for the music industry.
Last Saturday, JYJ member Kim Jae-joong performed in Bangkok, Thailand. It was his second visit to the country and he was welcomed by thousands of fans.
K-pop fans from neighboring countries like Vietnam, Myanmar and Laos also traveled to Thailand to see the K-pop idol perform on stage as reported by the Korea Times.
When Kim Jae-joong arrived at the airport, he wore a black ribbon to pay his respects to the late Thai King Bhumibol. Kim also performed the hit song "Butterfly" as a thank you note for the Thai fans’ firm support. The fans watching the performance were holding placards saying "We will always be by your side."
