Singer Kan Mi-yeon, a former member of the girl band Baby VOX, has recently participated in a charity event in China along with world-renowned Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi.

Kan, who has recently launched activities in China, wore a traditional Chinese costume at the Bazaar Star Charity Night event, drawing the spotlight.

The event, which marked its fifth year, is organized by the monthly fashion magazine Bazaar. This year, it was attended by some 60 celebrities and TV personalities, including Vicki Zhao Wei, Peter Ho and others.

Reporters from more than 20 broadcasters and some 40 newspapers competed for coverage. All proceeds from Internet auctions that were held as part of the event will be donated to a Chinese charity organization.

Kan's agency said the singer has been learning Chinese for three months and making preparations to release her album in China. She also plans on combining her singing career with acting in Chinese dramas and movies.
