Popular K-pop boy band Big Bang is set to perform its first ever full concert in Malaysia in October!

Organised by Running Into The Sun, the concert – part of the Big Bang Alive Tour 2012 – will be held staged at Stadium Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur on Oct 27. The group is also set to play in Jakarta, Indonesia and in Singapore.

Big Bang released its fifth mini-album Alive earlier this year, and embarked on its first world tour in March, where it will perform in more than 25 cities.



Ticketing details and other more information for Big Bang Alive Tour Malaysia will be released in the next few weeks, so follow Star2 and the concert organiser on Twitter (@MyStarTwo and @RITSmy) or log on to facebook.com/runningintothesun for regular updates.

Meanwhile, Big Bang member T.O.P will be very busy this month as the cast lineup for his new film has just been finalized.

Tentatively titled The Classmates, the movie will feature T.O.P as a North Korean spy that illegally crosses the Korean boarder to save his sister. Shooting will begin sometime this month.

T.O.P’s character, Myeong-hoon, is a high-school student whose job is to assassinate apostates living in South Korea. Actress Han Yeri will play one of Myeong-hoon’s classmates named Hye-in, whom he falls in love with.

In addition to the pair, other stars in the action drama includes child actress Kim You-jung, who is set to play Myeong-hoon’s younger sister.

Previously, the rapper said that he was excited to play the role of a North Korean spy who holds the characteristics of a cold-blooded killer and an innocent high school kid.

Meanwhile, Kim, best known for her role in MBC’s The Moon Embracing The Sun, expressed her joy in joining the cast, saying in an official statement, “I’m so happy and nervous about being part of such a great movie and I’ll do my best to do my role.”

Director Park Shin-woo of the Korean film White Night has signed on to helm The Classmates.
