Leessang, Tiger JK, & Yoon Mi Rae: Concert in LA, USA huge success


‘Hip Hop Family’ Jungle Entertainment successfully finished their concert overseas.

On December 3rd, ‘M-Live by CJ Jungle Concert’ took place at the Wiltern Theater in L.A, USA. The concert is a first for a Hip Hop label. Local media including LA Times reported on the concert and the artists in detail showing interest.

Artists like Leessang, Tiger JK, Yoon Mi Rae, Jung In, and Bizzy showed off the power of Korean Hip Hop to the 3,000 or so audience members at the concert.

For Leessang’s stage, the audience called for an encore 3 times. Gil could not hide his excitement and said, “Just arrived in L.A. just before the concert so I am out of it but let’s just play all night till we die!.” The fans were screaming passionately wearing T-shirts that read, ‘I want you Kang Gary‘.

Tiger JK, BIZZY, and Yoon Mi Rae showed off their ‘Korean Jay-Z and Beyonce-like’ performance. As they were rapping, not only the audience on the first floor but the audience on the second floor gave a standing ovation enjoying the performance on their feet. Park Jae Bum and Styliztik Jones, who are close friends of Tiger JK also visited the concert.

The staff was also excited. One of the local staff said, “The smooth melody in the strong beat and the rhyme innately Korean is really impressive.”

Tiger JK revealed, “I wanted to perform at the Wiltern Theater since I was young so I am very emotional. I promise to come back to L.A again.”

CJ E & M Concert Department which planned the concert relayed, “L.A. market where CJ Infra is located in and 2nd generation Koreans are will be a very important base for the move into the American market. With continuous performance and active support, we will lead in the globalization and expansion of K-Pop Genre.”
