[스포츠조선=조윤선 기자] BIGBANG’s DAESUNG will be holding his first ever solo dome tour in Japan under the title of “D-LITE JAPAN DOME TOUR 2017” in April next year. 

DAESUNG will kick off his tour by holding concerts at the Seibu Prince Dome on April 15-16 and then at the Kyocera Dome on April 22-23. He will hold four concerts in two cities, and as much as 200,000 fans are expected to come to his concerts. 

Holding a dome tour in Japan is a symbol of immense popularity. DAESUNG is the second foreign artist to go on a dome tour in Japan after G-DRAGON in 2013. 

DAESUNG released the “D’scover” album as a solo singer in February 2014. The album ranked no.2 on Oricon’s weekly album chart, which was the highest record for the debut album of a Korean solo singer. In July last year, DAESUNG released his “D’slove” album, which took the no.1 spot on Oricon’s daily album chart and the no.2 spot on its weekly chart. 

DAESUNG’s popularity as a solo singer is demonstrated not only in the chart results but also his concerts. His first solo tour in 2013 titled “D-LITE D’scover Tour 2013 in Japan~Dlive~”, which consisted of 26 concerts in 20 cities, drew 100,000 fans. Last year, DAESUNG went on his first solo arena tour under the title of “D-LITE DLive 2014 in Japan ～D’slove～” and held 15 concerts in eight cities and attracted 170,000 fans. He became the first Korean solo artist to draw more than 100,000 people in a tour for two consecutive years.   

Meanwhile, BIGBANG is currently on its” BIGBANG10 THE CONCERT: 0.TO.10 -THE FINAL-“tour, which consists of 16 concerts in four cities. A total of 781,500 people are expected to come to group’s concerts.

BIGBANG’s Daesung is set to hold his first solo dome tour “D-LITE JAPAN DOME TOUR 2017.”

Kicking off the tour at the Seibu Prince Dome on April 15 and 16, Daesung will also perform at the Kyocera Dome on April 22 and 23. The tour is set to attract approximately 200,000 fans to the two cities.

This makes Daesung the second non-Japanese solo artist to hold a dome tour in Japan. The first was none other than fellow BIGBANG member G-Dragon.

Daesung made his Japanese solo debut in February 2014 with his album “D’scover,” coming in at second place on the Oricon album weekly charts. He cemented his popularity in Japan with the release of his first original solo album “D’slove” last July, with the album topping the Oricon daily charts and coming in at second place on the weekly charts.

Daesung has also done well with his Japanese concerts. His first Japanese solo tour “D-LITE D’scover Tour 2013 in Japan ~Dlive~” had the singer hold 26 performances across 20 cities for over 100,000 fans. His solo arena tour “D-LITE DLive 2014 in Japan ~D’slove~” was held in eight cities last year, and the 15 performances attracted 170,000 fans. Daesung became the first Korean solo artist to hold two consecutive concerts tours that attracted over 100,000 fans in Japan.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG is currently on their “BIGBANG10 THE CONCERT: 0.TO.10 -THE FINAL” Japanese dome tour, holding 16 performances in four cities for approximately 782,000 fans.
