International pop star Mika to give 2nd concert in Korea

International pop star Mika will be returning to Korea for a second time to hold a concert on June 12, according to concert promoter Nine Factory on Wednesday.

Nine Factory announced that the British singer and songwriter will be performing at Seoul's Olympic Park Olympic Hall for his concert titled "MIKA LIVE IN SEOUL." He had put on his first performance in the country last November.

Mika began his career in 2006 with his first single "Relax, Take It Easy" and soon released his first full-length album "Life in Carton Motion" on February 2007.

"Grace Kelly," the first track from his album, topped the U.K singles chart at the No. 1 spot for five straight weeks. His debut album sold over 600,000 copies worldwide.

He is also a winner of the prestigious BRIT Award for Best British Breakthrough Artist in 2008. His second record "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" has ranked within the top 10 in Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland in its first week of its release.

Tickets for the concert will be available on online shopping website Interpark starting April 13 at 5 p.m.
