Korean star Jang Keun-suk, whose nickname is 'Prince of Asia,' has relived his plans to embark on an European tour after wrapping up "THE CRI SHOW 2."

"My goal for this year is to visit small clubs throughout Europe and just DJ for partygoers. Everything is still up in the air but I hope to make it happen," Jang Keun-suk said during the Seoul performance of "THE CRI SHOW 2" held at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium on July 7.

"Though I may not be fluent in the language, people have one thing in common and that's music. I feel that I can become close with people through my music and I just want to party, hang out and play my music for everyone."

Jang explained that he hopes to finalize the plans for the forthcoming Europe tour once he wraps up "THE CRI SHOW 2," set to take place in four cities in Japan -- Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka --, two cities in China -- Shanghai and Shenzen -- , Taiwan and Thailand in a sequential order.

"Not a lot of people in Korea know me as a singer but Team H [Jang's duo unit group with his musical partner, Big Brother] has been invited as special guests to the 2012 Ultra Music Festival Korea (UMF) and the 2012 Summer Sonic in Japan next month. It will be a preview of what fans can expect from my Europe tour."

Slated to take place in Korea on August 3 and 4, the UMF Korea is known as one of the biggest electronic music festivals in the world. Jang and Big Brother will share the stage with other popular DJs and rock bands such as Carl Cox, Tiesto, Skrillex, and Steve Aoki.

He then said that with his second round of the "THE CRI SHOW" and the forthcoming Europe tour he is expecting his nickname to be changed from 'The Prince of Asia' to 'World Prince.'

At the first leg of his "THE CRI SHOW 2," Jang staged a circus themed concert under the sub-title "Welcome to the Magic World" before several thousand local and international fans that were in attendance.

He sang a number of songs from the soundtrack to his TV series "Marry Me, Mary" (KBS2, 2010), and busted out powerful performances of his Japanese-languages tunes from his first full-length Japanese album, "Just Crazy."

Jang left fans wanting for more and brought them back to their feet with encore performances of his dance tunes "Gotta get cha" and "Shake it."
