Singer Park Jung-min from boy band SS501 took off for his first fan meeting in Japan today morning, according to his agency CNR Media on Monday.

CNR said the event titled “1st Japan 2010 Fan Meeting - Christmas Special” will take place a total four times including at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. in Osaka on January 22 and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in Tokyo the following day.

The agency added the event will also include an autograph session for Park’s first exclusive photo book published in the country.

Park, 23, debuted as one of the five-member boy band SS501 along with Kim Hyun-joong, Kim Kyu-jong, Heo Young-saeng and Kim Hyung-jun but the group has gone their own ways after their contract with DSP Media expired in June.

Park on his part, had his official homepage launched in November and was set to release his first single album “Not Alone” on November 25 but was delayed to January 2011 after the country went into a state of mourning after North Korea shelled South Korea’s Yeonpyeong Island located in the Yellow Sea that killed two marines, two civilians and dozens of casualties just two days ahead.
