"The Boss" [Open-World Entertainment]

Korean idol group The Boss will release their second Japanese single “Love Bingo!” next month.

The boys’ agency Open Entertainment told 10Asia over the phone today that the group’s second single “Love Bingo!” will go on sale in Japan on June 15 and they recently released a music video for its title track of the same name.

The music video for "Love Bingo!" which is four minutes long, was filmed in Japan's Okinawa Island and features the five members partying and enjoying themselves on a beach while dressed in colorful summer clothes.

“The latest album, which is made up of a total four tracks including 'MAGIC' and '夏の記憶' (summer memories), is in line with the theme of love that the boys have pursued starting with their first single 'Love Power,' the official at Open-World explained on the phone.

“Love Power,” released in mid-April, placed sixth on Japan's Oricon daily chart on the day of its release and ninth on its weekly chart.

The group started promoting themselves in Japan starting mid-September of last year after signing a contract with local management company DA and Sony Records and has been carrying out various promotional events for their songs and albums.

Most recently, the boys participated in the fourth K-POP Super Live 2011 held at Makuhari Messe Convention Center in Tokyo this Sunday, alongside other K-pop artists including Shin Hye-sung, Super Junior, SHINee and X-5.

Composed of members Hyun-min, Injun, Jay, Karam and Mika, the group made its debut in Korea in March of last year with their single album “The Admirer” and released their second album “Awake” three months later.
