BigBang's Taeyang to hold solo concert in Singapore in Feb

SINGAPORE - South Korean singer Taeyang will be holding his 2015 Taeyang World Tour Rise in Singapore on Feb 8 next year at the Singapore Expo Hall.

The 26-year-old artist, who makes up one-fifth of boy group sensation BigBang, held his first solo concert in Seoul this year to a sold-out crowd and also toured cities in Japan after the highly anticipated second solo album, Rise, was released in June.

Touted as the Korean Prince of R&B, Taeyang recently bagged two awards on Wednesday's Mnet Music Awards for Best Male Artist, Best Vocal Performance Male and the Song of the Year for his chart-topping solo Eyes, Nose, Lips.

Ticket details will be announced at a later date.
