H.O.T. & S.E.S. to Play Micheal Jackson Concert

'H.O.T.' and 'S.E.S.', which are among the most popular music groups in Korea, will appear at Michael Jackson's concert to be held at the Seoul Chamsil Olympic Stadium on June 25.
The hosting company Cheil Communications said Sunday, 'They have chosen the two groups from many domestic singers, by virtue of their popularity and potential for success.'
The two groups, especially popular among teenagers, are supposed to appear on stage at around 9pm on June 25. The show starts at 7pm.
Cheil said that S.E.S. has been gaining popularity in Asia since their debut in Japan last year. H.O.T. also seems to have the potential to find a spot on the world stage after several successful concerts in Taiwan recently.
H.O.T. expressed great joy at the news of their inclusion by Cheil Communications.
Fourteen world-famous singers, including Gloria Estefan, Boyz 2 Men, Lionel Richie, Kenny G, Modern Talking, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Vanessa May and Roxette, will appear in the Jackson concert.
The 63,000 tickets are expected to sell out for a total profit of 7 billion won, which will be given to charities around the world.
