Some of K-pop's most popular idol groups TVXQ, Super Junior and Big Bang are to hold concerts that will surely delight their young, mostly female, fans this coming summer.
S.M.

Tickets priced at 66,000, 55,000 and 44,000 won, are available at http://www.ticketlink.com.
The concert will coincide with the release of the annual SM Town summer vacation album, which features songs from all the artists. However, S.M. Entertainment's biggest female star BoA is not in the line-up.
TVXQ, composed of U-know, Kim Jae-joong, Changmin, Micky Yoochun and Xiah, is one of the most popular boybands in the country and around Asia.
