MC Mong Wows Japan
Published on | Source
Rapper MC Mong seems to have won a new legion of fans in Japan. Korea's pop rapper has held "V.O.S.-MC Mong Big 2 Concert" in Tokyo last Saturday and earned sizzling response from both fans and music critics. Some Japanese fans were already well-aware of MC Mong from such programs as MBC sitcom "Nonstop" and KBS variety show "Two Days and One Night".
MC Mong's representative said that all the audience stood up and joined in the singing during the hour-long concert. His popularity was so huge that concert organizers ran out of all the concert merchandises and MC Mong's CDs. Japanese media is reportedly very interested in MC Mong, because there isn't a group in Japan that performs his type of music. He began to gain in popularity in Japan in 2005 when he took part in the K-pop Concert. At the time he was courted by several local entertainment agencies, but he turned them down because he wanted to work further on his career in Korea. MC Mong is currently working on his fifth album due out later in the year.
