S. Korean all-percussion show 'Nanta' tours China

SEOUL, March 8 (Yonhap) -- South Korean non-verbal percussion show "Nanta" has launched its second Chinese tour, its production company said Tuesday.

Starting in Henan Province last Saturday, the tour will make 30 stops including in Yantai, Qingdao, Nanjing and Shanghai until May 26, PMC Production said.

The tour is the second of its kind after the troupe visited 16 cities in 2011.

The company said it hopes to use this circuit to tap deeper into the Chinese market and diversify the performance scene in Asia.

The original South Korean show debuted in China with a Beijing show in 2014. Since then, it has held 90 shows in some 40 Chinese cities.

Its sixth performance center opened in Guangzhou last year, following other locations in Seoul, the South Korean resort island of Jeju and Thailand.

As of February, the show has attracted more than 11.12 million viewers worldwide.
