Mr. Big to pull up Korea visit

British rock band Mr. Big will visit Korea this month earlier than scheduled to spend more time with their fans, according to a company organizing their concert in Korea.

"This rarely happens but they pulled up their visit to Seoul by a couple of days to experience more of Korean culture and communicate with the fans," said host Supernatural on Monday.

Accordingly, the group will fly in on October 21 to hold various events including an autograph session ahead of their concerts set for October 24 and 25 at the Olympic Gymnastic Stadium.

Seoul will be the last city the four-member band performs in before wrapping up their world tour.

The band composed of Eric Martin, Pat Torpey, Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert disbanded in 2002 after placing a number of hits atop The Billboard and Japan's Oricon charts but returned to the music scene early this year after requests from fans.
