V6 Seoul concert tickets sell out in 10 minutes

Tickets for popular Japanese boy band V6's first-ever Korea concerts sold out within ten minutes of going on sale on the Internet, according to the company organizing their tour.

SM Entertainment said Thursday that fans snapped up all 11,000 tickets of the band's three shows that went on sale the previous evening.

The concerts, set for November 14 and 15 at the Olympic Park in Seoul, are part of the six-member group's Asia tour taking place for the first time in seven years.

After Korea, they will perform at the Taipei Arena in Thailand on November 21 and 22.

V6 -- composed of members Masayuki Sakamoto, Junichi Okada, Yoshihiko Inohara, Go Morita, Ken Miyake, and Hiroshi Nagano -- have enjoyed a successful career throughout Asia since debuting 15 years ago.
