There may be no Big Bang reunion in sight just yet, but Taeyang, a member from the "Kings of K-pop" will be making his way to Malaysia very, very soon!
The South Korean singer-songwriter is slated to hold a concert at Stadium Negara, KL in February next year as part of his "Taeyang World Tour RISE" in support of his latest release, "RISE"
The concert tour is Tayeang’s 5th solo concert tour and first world tour. His RISE World Tour in 2015 will mark his 4th visit to Malaysia as he has previously been here for “BIGBANG Alive Galaxy Tour 2012“, “G-Dragon’s One of a Kind World Tour 2013“, and “Thinking of You Fan Meeting 2013”
Taeyang has already kicked off RISE concert tour in Japan and Korea earlier in August. He is now set to kick off the “TAEYANG 2015 WORLD TOUR : RISE” concert tour in Hong Kong on 10th January 2015 at Asiaworld – Expo Hall 10. The concert tour will be making a stop in China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Indonesia.

For the uninitiated, Taeyang made his debut in the K-pop scene in 2006 as a member of hip hop K-pop group Big Bang. Taeyang branched out in 2008 with a mini solo album, "Hot", followed by 2010's "Solar" and this year's "RISE"
His second studio album Rise peaked at #112 on the US Billboard 200 Chart, becoming the highest ranking album by a Korean soloist to enter the chart. The album's title track "Eyes, Nose, Lips" peaked at #1 on Billboard K-pop Hot 100 Chart, giving him his first solo number one single on the chart.
Leader G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri officially debuted as a five-member group on August 19, 2006. Labeled as the "Nation's Boy Band", the members’ involvement in composing and producing their own music, most notably G-Dragon’s, has earned the group respect and praise from the music industry.
Most recently, the talented singer swept up a total of three awards at the Mnet Asian Music Awards 2014. He also performed with groupmate, G-Dragon at the awards ceremony.
Taeyang took home a total of three awards - Best Male Artist as well as Best Vocal Performance Male and Song Of The Year for hit single, "Eyes, Nose, Lips".
To build anticipation for the upcoming world tour, Taeyang has also released a teaser video with hints of what fans can expect from his concert. Watch the video HERE:
