TVXQ member Xiah Junsu's twin brother Zuno has unveiled a teaser video for his debut single "Nothing to Lose", according to agency BIAS on Tuesday.

BIAS explained in a press release that a 33-second teaser video, which contains footage from the music video to "Lose", has been posted on the agency's official homepage (www.biasent.com) and popular video sharing site Youtube.

"You will be able to see much more of his charms in the music video," an official at BIAS was quoted as saying, adding that a full version of the video will be revealed at Zuno's showcase, to be held at Beijing Chaoyang Gymnasium on March 28.

The teaser video, which has received over 10,000 hits on Youtube as of Tuesday morning, shows the singer tied up in tape with words such as betrayal, anger, agony, tears and disappointment written on it. The story is about a man who is in pain after a woman he loves leaves him.

Zuno, whose real name is Kim Junho, first drew attention for his talent and potential as an entertainer in November 2008 after appearing on MBC's celebrity dating show "Introducing the Friend of a Famous Star" with his K-pop idol sibling Junsu.

His debut single will be released simultaneously in Korea and China on March 29.

BIAS announced in a press release that Zuno will be performing at the "ZUNO Showcase in Beijing", to be held at Beijing Chaoyang Gymnasium on March 28. Some 2,000 tickets for the event sold out a month ago within an hour of going on sale.


"We had been receiving numerous inquiries even before we made the announcement about the showcase," an official at BIAS explained. "Local fan clubs have already been established and there is a lot of interest in Zuno."


The 90-minute show will feature singing and dancing performances by the singer, and the music videos for his tracks "Nothing to Lose" and "I Love You" will be revealed for the first time as well.


"I feel nervous and excited, like my heart is about to burst because this is the first time that I will be performing in front of so many people," Zuno was quoted as saying. "I will do my best to live up to the enormous support."


Zuno, whose real name is Kim Junho, had been known for his talent and potential as an entertainer ahead of his debut -- in November 2008, he reportedly drew attention from industry executives when he appeared on MBC's celebrity dating show "Introducing the Friend of a Famous Star" with Junsu where he staged his good looks and talent.


His debut single will be released simultaneously in Korea and China on March 29.

Members of Korean idol group 2PM [Asia Economic Daily]

Members of Korean idol group 2PM will meet with their fans this weekend to talk about the group's former leader Park Jae-beom's departure, according to their agency JYP Entertainment (JYPE).

"All members of 2PM, except for Park, will hold a meeting with fans on February 27," JYPE announced on the group's official fan cafe on Sunday.

The six members are expected to talk directly with fans about various issues including Park's leave from the group as well as rumors surrounding the incident.

The time and place for the gathering have yet to be decided and it is unlikely the event will be open to the press.

Former leader Park quit 2PM in September 2009 and left Korea after sparking national controversy over what he had written on his MySpace page several years ago became public.

His comments -- including "I hate Korea" -- created an uproar around the country, particularly among Internet users, leading to his decision to leave the group and return to his hometown Seattle.
