The K-Pop fever, which dominated Asia and Europe this year, will also conquer America. The group Super Junior, Big Bang, JYJ and BEAST are preparing to expand their activities to this continent.

Last Tuesday, December 27, BEAST said to have included South America in the list of places that the group will visit during his forthcoming world tour, confirmed passing through 21 cities in 14 different countries. Recently, the sextet was one of the first male South Korean artists to perform concert in São Paulo, Brazil, alongside other artists from the United Cube – 4Minute and G. NA – and they themselves felt the Kpop’s popularity in South America and thus the possibility of expanding the market to this part of the world.

Super Junior touted by SM Entertainment, is also planning a South American tour. It’s worth noting that the company itself is already considered one of the biggest “representatives of the Hallyu wave.” SM spokesman told press: “We received so many calls with requests from South America, we are preparing Super Junior’s ‘Super Show 4’, to be taken there.”

Meanwhile, YG Entertainment also intends to hold a concert in South America. The company’s spokesman said: “Big Bang, which will release a new album in March 2012, will make a tour with his long-established ‘Big Show’. It’s not yet confirmed any country where the show will be held, but we are looking to expand their performances to South America.”

JYJ trio seems to have confirmed a tour, which will be held in three different South American countries, in late February or early March 2012. C-JES Entertainment, the group’s agency company, will come to South America to finalize the negotiations on this project soon. Meanwhile, countries with greater chances of being selected are Brazil, Chile and Peru, but nothing is confirmed yet.
