The Summer holiday season is almost over but the fever over K-pop summer dance tunes has yet to cool down.

Idol groups who have taken trophies from "M!CountDown" between May and September are to grace the stage at "One Asia Tour 2012 M!CountDown Smile Thailand" opening at Bangkok's Rajamangala Stadium in Thailand on October 4, according to the firm's press release Friday.

This is the show's first official concert in Thailand and the second global tour hosted by Mnet after the Japan concert held in April.

With its lineup centered around chart-topping K-pop acts--Super Junior, SISTAR, INFINITE and KARA, who was crowned the winner last evening--other Korean artists will bring the K-pop heat to the town, officials said.

"M!CountDown," which began airing in 2004, is one of the most popular and oldest televised music shows along with SBS "Inkigayo" and KBS "Music Bank."
