Published on | Source
Actor Ahn Jae-wook has recently made a comeback as a singer after two years and eight months with his fifth album entitled "Sounds Like You". Ahn participated in the recording of the KBS TV2 music show "Music Bank" on Nov. 18, and made an appearance on MBC's "Music Center" on Nov. 19, where he performed the title song of his new album.
Ahn's fifth album, which hit record stores Nov. 11, maintained the number one position on the weekly sales chart of Kyobo Hot Tracks for two straight weeks, and received a favorable response from listeners on various online music sites.
Ahn's comeback has drawn significant attention not only from his domestic fans but from Chinese fans as well.
As a top hallyu star in China, Ahn has given 90 solo concerts in China since 2000. Tickets to each of his concerts in that country were sold out completely, with some 17,000 people attending his concert in Beijing in July 2000; 25,000 people the following year; 15,000 people in November of 2002 and some 50,000 in December of 2002 in Shanghai.
Ahn's unrivaled popularity in China was proven once again in 2004, when 28,000 people came to his latest concert in China.
Ahn's agency says the singer's new album is expected to appeal to a wider audience this time as it features more sophisticated vocals and music.
