Upcoming K-pop girl band RaNia, whose three members are due to appear in Park Jae-beom's dance pic "Hype Nation," will be touring Asia with U.S. hip-hop group B2K, according to their agency DR Music on Monday.

DR Music said in a press release that RaNia and B2K have agreed to go on a tour together in Asia, which includes stops in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

The two groups are also set to release a record in Korea next month as well as appear in local TV shows and promotional events.

B2K, who will be working as a duo called Fizz and Boog, are also appearing in the film "Hype Nation," as dancers who compete with the character played by Park Jae-beom.
