VietNamNet Bridge – Two famous Korean singers – Bi Rain and Park Hyo Shin – are expected to be in Hanoi from March 17 to 23, to perform in the meeting between officials of the Vietnamese and South Korean Ministries of Defense at the Hanoi Opera House on March 21.
The two singers will go to Vietnam with a company of 97 officers and soldiers from the theatrical wing of the Republic of Korea’s (RoK) Army, at the invitation of the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense.

The tour is part of a series of events to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Vietnamese-RoK diplomatic ties.

Korean artists will give two shows, including singing, dancing and a performance of military music in Hanoi on March 19 and 21.

Besides Bi Rain and Park Hyo Shin, the delegation will include other star singers, who are all serving in the RoK’s army.

During the tour, the troupe will visit the popular tourist destinations of Hanoi and Halong Bay. Bi Rain and the orchestra of the RoK Army will visit the Army Culture and Art University, the Vietnam-RoK Culture Institute and the Army Theatre.

Since joining the army last October, Bi Rain has nearly “disappeared.”

Born in 1982, Bi Rain is a highly accomplished dancer, singer and actor whose acting and music career has expanded beyond Asian boundaries.

He has led numerous concert tours around the world and starred in Hollywood movies like “Speed Racer” (2008) and “Ninja Assassin” (2009). In 2006, Bi Rain was named by Time magazine as one of the "100 Most Influential People Who Shape Our World."

Bi Rain's concert will be held on March 21 at the Hanoi Opera House at 1 Trang Tien, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi.
