CNBLUE‘s Jung Yong-hwa successfully concluded his Christmas fan meeting.
Jung Yong-hwa met with his fans at the 2024 Jung Yong-hwa Fan Meeting ‘I’ll Match the Time with Yonghwa: YH is Coming to Town’ at Myeonghwa Live Hall in Seoul on three occasions: on December 24th at 7:30 PM and on December 25th at 2 PM and 7 PM. This fan meeting is Jung Yong-hwa‘s second Christmas fan meeting, following ‘On Your Time’ in December 2023. It was confirmed to be held again this year due to the enthusiastic support of fans, and garnered much anticipation even before the show.
Jung Yong-hwa started the show by singing ‘On Your Time’ rearranged into a jazz version, and transformed into ‘YH is Coming to Town’ in the corner, receiving a great response for carrying out exciting and cheerful Christmas-like events such as granting fans’ wishes and giving them their favorite items. In particular, he warmed up the atmosphere on site by intimately communicating with fans, such as going down to the audience during the game or performing short live performances of songs that fans wanted to hear on the spot.
After that, Jung Yong-hwa continued the warm atmosphere by performing songs that are perfect for the cold winter, such as his self-composed song ‘Ring’ with a carol feel, the solo version of ‘Hello’, and the jazz version of ‘Cold Eating (Winter Again).’. Jung Yong-hwa, who led the audience to sing along with ‘Pain Healer’ and ‘Livin‘ It Up’, heated up the concert, and drew enthusiastic cheers with his last songs, ‘Your City’ and ‘You Fall for Me’. The encore stage that followed included ‘Small Talk’, ‘WOULD YOU’, ‘I Got Ya’, and ‘Wonkiok’, ending the 150-minute concert filled with happiness as the fans sang and jumped for an endless encore.
Jung Yong-hwa started off the concert with honest thoughts, saying, “I had so much fun, I wish this time would never end”, and added, “I had a lot of worries before the concert, but I’m happy to see you all having fun. I sincerely thank you for coming to ‘Yonghwa Town’, ‘My City’ today. Let‘s meet again and play happily”. After the concert, he held a hi-bye event and personally saw off fans, and was active as ‘Yongsanta’ until the end.
Jung Yong-hwa, who successfully wrapped up the Christmas fan meeting, plans to continue his active schedule by performing and appearing in various entertainment programs at the end of the year and beginning of the new year.
