SEOUL, Aug. 31 (Yonhap) -- South Korean boy band EXO will release its first Japanese single on Nov. 4, its management agency said Monday.
Nine members of the group announced the news at the A-Nation Stadium Festival on Saturday, taking its Japanese fans by surprise, S.M. Entertainment said.
The half-Chinese, half-South Korean group shared the stage at Tokyo's Ajinomoto Stadium with top Japanese singer Ayumi Hamasaki and pop band TRF. A-Nation Stadium Festival is the largest of its kind in Japan.
"EXO announced the news to delirious fans," S.M. said in a release. "We look forward to the attention EXO will garner from its fans who have long awaited its Japanese debut."
EXO is currently on the "EXO PLANET #2" tour, which takes the band to major cities across Asia.
