Park Yong-ha attracts 2,000 to Hawaii concert

Hallyu star Park Yong-ha held his second concert in Hawaii last week, attracting 2,000 fans to the Hawaii Convention Center, according to his agency on Wednesday.

YONA Entertainment said that about 1,000 fans from Hawaii and another 1,000 from Japan attended the concert held Saturday, which comes three years after his first show.

The concert was held in time with 'Yong-ha Day' which was three days prior to it. Fans in the state celebrate every October 14 which is the day the actor debuted.

During the show, the 32-year-old star also talked about his upcoming plans for his eighth single set for release in Japan on November 18. The song is also the main soundtrack for Fuji TV's new drama, translated into "Xmas Miracle", set for premiere on November 2.

Park has been popular in several countries and particularly Japan since appearing alongside top Hallyu stars Bae Yong-joon and Choi Ji-woo in 2002 hit TV series "Winter Sonata".
