The second date was added after fans snapped up all the tickets for the June 10 concert in just 15 minutes when online booking opened on April 26. That caused some tickets to be traded on the black market, and some 300 K-pop fans demonstrated in front of the Louvre on May 1 demanding another date.

The concerts will be held at Le Zenith de Paris and feature several of SM’s top groups including TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, SHINee and f(x).

The company has held its Town Live concerts in Seoul, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Shanghai. They will return to the Tokyo Dome on Sept. 3 and 4 for some 100,000 fans.
