Jackson Rehearses for Today's Charity Concert Without Carey
Pop star Michael Jackson rehearsed with 15 groups until nine o'clock yesterday ending a nine-hour rehersal without Mariah Carey for the mammoth charity concert to be staged at Chamsil Stadium in eastern Seoul this evening. Mariah Carey did not join the rehearsal as she is scheduled to arrive this morning. Cheil Communications, the Korean promoter of the event, said yesterday that most of the tickets are expected to be sold before the concert is staged. Kim Hyong-geun, a supporting PR planner of Cheil, said that 35,000 tickets were sold as of Tuesday. Due to the interest generated by potential concert goers about the tickets, he said that promoters plan to sell tickets today, too. If it is soldout as expected, 50,000 people will have seats, 7,600 less than the number originally planned. Kim said, ``The capacity has been reduced due to the rearrangement of the large stage installed.'' About 2,000 tickets were sold to foreigners, mainly Japanese and Southeast Asians, he added. Security is one of the major concerns for the concert where all the performers are world stars. As many as 2,000 security guards will be mobilized for the four-hour concert and another 100 security men will protect the performers personally, he said. Jackson, who flew into Seoul Monday with action movie star, composer and singer Steven Seagal, held a closed-door reception for performers at 10 p.m. at Hotel Shilla after the rehearsal. He also visited the U.S. Eighth Army in Yongsan and met with ranking military officers yesterday afternoon. Hong Kong movie star Leon Lai came as a recent addition to the concert. All the performers, except Carey, were scheduled to arrive by yesterday, he said.
Here is another article about the Jackson concert. This explains why MC was not in Seoul yesterday, however she is STILL going to be at the concert :D
Mariah didn't arrive in Seoul yesterday
EJ from Seoul wrote: "Mariah didn't arrive at Kimpo airport on the 23rd. I read it in newspaper Sports Today that all foreign entertainers had to apply for a visa (a kind of special visa, I don't know what it is in English) to their concerts by Korean law. However, Mariah's people couldn't accept it because it was not for personal profit, but for helping poor children. It is a charity concert. The reporter also wrote that Mariah's participation was not canceled yet, a manager of the concert was trying to solve it, and he (or she) thought Mariah would arrive on 24th. I can't understand it. I bet there are other reasons! Korean fans are disappointed, but most of us still believe Mariah is coming. I expect good news, that Mariah will arrive in Seoul today (24th). I will give you more information tonight.
