The phenomenal R& B artist Beyonce Knowles, 26, met a big crowd of fans Thursday afternoon when she arrived in Korea for her two concerts, a part of her world tour titled ``The Beyonce Experience 2007.''
The popular star did not disappoint those awaiting her as she waved with a big smile and even signed some autographs.
``I am very excited to be here," she said upon arriving at Incheon International Airport with her entourage in four chartered planes. She noted that her four-day stay in Seoul will be longer than her other tour stops as she will perform twice, which is also an exception. Given that she is in Seoul for a relatively lengthier time, Beyonce expressed hopes to look around the city if the opportunity allowed, mentioning her interest in the architectural styles and structures of cities around the world.
The R& B diva is in Korea together with around 80 staff members, including her father and mother, who are her manager and fashion coordinator.
She performed at the Seoul Olympic Gymnastic Stadium Friday evening and will hold her second concert on Saturday at the same venue. The concert features smash hits from her solo albums such as `` Crazy in Love," ``Irreplaceable" and ``Dejavu," as well as songs from when she was with Destiny's Child.
The singer debuted in 1997 as a member of the R& B all-female group, which enjoyed immense popularity. Her solo debut in 2003 confirmed her musical talent as she topped Billboard charts less than a week after it was released. On top of that, she has made quite a few appearances on screen, including her star role in the Oscar-winning ``Dreamgirls," which was also well received here.
Beyonce will stay in Korea until Sunday and then leave for Taiwan to continue her world tour.
