Hip-hop group M.I.B to open for will.i.am at ‘Will I Am in Seoul’

Korea’s very own M.I.B will be standing on stage with hip-hop giant will.i.am.

M.I.B has been invited to be the opening guest for will.i.am who will be holding his special event ‘Will I Am In Seoul‘ at club ANSWER in Chungdam-dong on February 29th.

will.i.am is the leader and producer of US group Black Eyed Peas, and CJ E&M arranged the club performance after will.i.am expressed his desire to become a little closer with his Korean fans.

Skilled DJs such as DJ POET and DJ AMMO will be spinning at the event, and fans were growing anxious to know who which talented act would open the event.

That act is none other than M.I.B, a 4-member hip-hop group produced by Jungle Entertainment, the label that’s home to Korea’s biggest hip hop artists such as Leessang, Drunken Tiger, Yoon Mirae, and more.

The boys’ polished musical talents have been acknowledged time and time again, further evidenced with the members even being invited to stand on the same stage as Far*East Movement for the ‘Highlight Festival 2012‘ last month.

“It’s an honor to be standing on the same stage as will.i.am, someone we respect and have been a fan of for a really long time,” they said. “This performance will go down in history as a monumental moment in our careers. We will put on a great performance that lives up to will.i.am’s reputation.”

In related news, M.I.B made their powerful entrance onto the K-pop scene last year with “G.D.M“. The boys who showcased their wide variety of talents are now focusing on preparing for their March comeback.
