U-Kiss holds dinner event with fans

Group U-Kiss is drawing a lot of attention by holding a special fan meeting for their fans. The group released a picture that they took with their fans while having dinner together.
In the picture, group members are having dinner with their fans at a small restaurant and it drew a lot of attention among the public.
Since the group is keeping busy performing abroad, it is hard for them to spend a lot of time with their Korean fans. Therefore, the group wanted to have a special ‘thank-you’ dinner with special fans, who have actively supported the group.
People who saw the picture responded: “It’s so nice to have a special dinner together.” “The one picture tells everything about the special day.” “Are you going to hold another special event?”
U-Kiss flew to Japan to promote their fifth Japanese single, which will be released in December. Then they are planning to hold their exclusive concert in Asia, South America, and Europe.
