Singer Lee Moon-sae to kick off tour overseas

Veteran singer Lee Moon-sae is planning on touring in countries overseas, according to an official at his agency on Tuesday.

"We, along with the organizers of his local tour Mooboong, are in the process of establishing plans for his concerts to be held in several foreign countries including Japan once he wraps up his tour in Korea," explained MS Project head Song Sae-young.

Lee, 51, first kicked off his most recent tour titled "The '09-10 Lee Moon-sae Red Sunset" for his fans throughout Korea, starting with Seoul last September. His shows this year are set to take off in late January and end in early February.

Since his debut in 1983, Lee has not only made a name for himself in the music industry but also as a DJ recognized for his radio hosting skills. He has released 14 full-length albums throughout his career of which many numbers have been smash hits.

Last year, popular boy band Big Bang sang a remake of his 1988 hit song "Red Sunset" which topped Korea's music charts in late 2008.
