SEOUL, May 14 (Yonhap) -- South Korean singer Kim Ho-joong will meet fans at a national tour concert starting at late September.

"Kim Ho-joong will hold a national tour concert starting from September 30 to October 2 this year at the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul," his agency Think Entertainment said on the 14th.

The concert will be the first of its kind since Kim Ho-joong's discharge from his mandatory military service as a public service worker, scheduled for next month's 9th.

The agency said, "October 2, the last day of the Seoul concert, is more special because it is Kim Ho-joong's birthday," adding that the detailed tour schedules will be disclosed later.

Kim Ho-joong drew attention as he ranked fourth in the TV Chosun's Trot competition show "Mr. Trot."

He has also been called "Tvarotti" (a combination of trot and Pavarotti).

Kim Ho-joong will release a song 'In My Voice (translated)' for his fans after being discharged next month. In July, he plans to visit Italy to prepare a collaboration song with popera singer Andrea Bocelli.
