Triple S members of Malaysia, you're sure getting spoiled with events... get your money ready because SS501 has officially added your country to its Persona Asian tour hit list!

SS501, which has been recently filming in Malaysia, previously announced hopes to hold a concert in this country at the end of 2009 or next January as part of their Persona tour. Since this announcement, three concert organizing companies from Singapore & Malaysia have reportedly battled for rights to organize this leg of the tour. Ultimately, Marctensia, which has organized Malaysia concerts for Ariel Lin and Akon, won the sole rights with a whopping seven figure sum to organize the Malaysian branch of the tour.

Seven figures... this is reportedly the same ballpark as other A-list celebrities, such as Jay Chou and other "kings of pop". As plans are still in infant stages, the concert venue, date and other specific details have yet to be cemented; however, many guess that the concert will be held in mid-December, as this is the time frame for the Singapore part of the Persona tour. Rumors also speculate that DSP Entertainment (SS501's management agency) is planning to bring around a hundred staff & crew on the tour, which includes assistants, make up artists, hair stylists, concert tech crew etc.

The Persona tour is already well underway - after kicking it off in Seoul on the first day of August, SS501 started their overseas tour on August 13 with two reportedly kickass concerts in Japan. Fans in Taiwan and Singapore are also anticipating scheduled concerts in the near future.
