[News] SS501; DSP Entertainment Gets Serious



It seems after the break up of FIN.K.L. and Sechskies, DSP Entertainment has had major trouble in managing KARA and SS501. However, someone must've made a New Year resolution to focus more on not forgetting about their entertainers.

Because of SS501's success in Japan last year (making it to the top 10 Oricon Charts), DSP has planned a performance in China Shanghai Grand Stage. This stadium isn't just a small venue; it's where Beyonce held her concert in November 2007. Aside from performing their current hit songs, the band of five will also perform their new single which is due out in March.

On the flip side, four-member group KARA, will release their new album in March as well. DSP is planning to hit Korea with a double comeback using their two strongest productions.
