YesStyle joins hands with SM Entertainment for a successful SM Town Live '10 World Tour LA Concert

Sept. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Leading online fashion retailer YesStyle celebrated the success of the recently concluded SM Town Live '10 World Tour Los Angeles concert, held September 4, 2010 at the Staples Center. YesStyle served as a Diamond Sponsor for the event, partnering with premier South Korean entertainment group SM Entertainment to bring Korean pop's biggest names like BoA and Super Junior to the US for a very special one-night-only concert.

This year's SM Town World Tour included Los Angeles as its first concert stopover outside of Asia, and became a highly anticipated event for US-based supporters of K-pop music. The Staples Center was filled with over 15,000 excited concertgoers eager to see their K-pop music idols up close. Crowd favorites BoA, Kangta, Max and U-Know of TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, SHINee, f(x), Trax and Zhang Li Yin brought the audience to their feet. Other SM artists such as Kim Min Jong, Dana and Sunday of The Grace, Go Ara and Lee Yeon Hee drew enthusiastic applause as well.

YesStyle founder and CEO Joshua Lau expressed his appreciation for the partnership forged between YesStyle and SM Entertainment. "It's a rare privilege to be part of such a landmark event, the very first SM Town concert held in the US. Whether through fashion or music, both YesStyle and SM Entertainment share a common vision to promote Asian culture beyond borders. I believe that this concert was the perfect opportunity to further bring the Korean wave to the US," he said.

YesStyle also sponsored the afterparty event, held next door at L.A. Live's Conga Room where special guests, VIPs and the Korean superstars came together in a more relaxed atmosphere. Among those sighted at the party were BoA, Kangta, Max and U-Know of TVXQ, Super Junior's Shin Dong, Kyu Hyun, Henry, Si Won, Hee Chul, and several members of Girls' Generation, SHINee and f(x). YesStyle CEO Joshua Lau presented YesStyle gift bags to several performers as tokens of appreciation.

Nikki Han, SM Entertainment Executive Director and President of SM Entertainment USA, was equally pleased with the success of the partnership. "We are excited for YesStyle's support for the SM Town Live '10 World Tour in Los Angeles and look forward to bigger collaborations in the future," she said.
