Actor Yoon Sang-hyeon [MGB Entertainment]
MGB announced through a press release last month that Yoon's first full-length Japanese album, including a photo book of the actor, will go on sale in the country on February 16.
Yoon promoted the album through a hand shaking event with fans in Tokyo and Osaka during the immediate weekend after this press release.
He also held fan meetings and small-scale live concerts the following weekend -- in Tokyo on February 25, 2010 and in Osaka two days later.
Yoon had already launched a singing career in Japan, having released single albums "Saigo No Ame (The Last Rain)" and "Chikai (Oath)" in April and June of this year, respectively. "Saigo No Ame" reached No.11 on Oricon chart on the day of its release.
Yoon, 38, debuted with SBS drama "To Marry a Millionaire" (2005) and rose to stardom through hit MBC series "My Wife is a Superwoman" (2009), and SBS "My Fair Lady" (2009).
