JYJ member Kim Jaejoong will release his first full-length album this month and go on a tour around Asia to commemorate the release.

Starting at COEX Mall in Samseong-dong on Nov. 2, the singer will perform in several venues in Korea and then move on to entertain crowds in other Asian countries.

His agency C-JeS stated, “This first album is going to include tracks from the rock genre, so the crowd at the concerts will be able to interact with Jaejoong. The tour is going to have the atmosphere of a rock festival.”

Kim’s first album is reportedly half done and a variety of artists are participating in composing and featuring on the tracks. The star’s own self-composed songs will also be included on the album.

Kim released an EP and repackaged album in January, selling more than 200,000 copies combined. The track “One Kiss” ranked No. 1 in the rock section of iTunes charts in nine countries including Japan, Singapore and Taiwan.
