Singer and actor Lee Junho heated up Tokyo, Japan.
Lee Junho held a solo concert ‘2025 Lee Junho FAN-CON
in JAPAN’(〈Midnight Sun〉) at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan from February 8th to 9th. This is the first fan concert in about two and a half years since the ‘JUNHO (From 2PM) FAN-CON -Before Midnight-’ (Before Midnight) held at Budokan in August 2022, and the first local performance in about a year since the ‘LEE JUNHO Arena Tour 2023 “Mata Aeru Hi” (The Day We Meet Again) which shone in the summer of 2023. A total of 18,000 fans gathered over the two days, proving their hot interest and expectations. In particular, the performance on the 9th, the last day, was live streamed online through a local streaming platform and was also screened for live viewing in movie theaters across Japan.
Junho Lee, who finally appeared after the white curtains that filled the screen were lifted, decorated the opening with the song ‘Frozen Heart’ that seemed to symbolize a performance on a winter day. Most of the setlist was sung in Japanese versions, including ‘Imagination’, ‘On your mind’, ‘CANVAS’, ‘Fire’, ‘Winter Sleep’, ‘Lastly’, and various moods were created, including ‘Nothing But You’ which he sang with his fans, ‘Torso’ which was a spectacular performance on the red carpet connecting the two stages, and ‘INSANE’ and ‘Pressure’ which radiated intense charm.
Lee Jun-ho led the cheers of the audience with the comment, “I will give you the best night”, and in the talk corner ‘Jun-ho‘s Day and Night’, he completed a one-of-a-kind photo calendar by wearing props of various concepts and posing. Also, on the day of the performance, they read each and every message written by fans and communicated by sharing small episodes from their daily lives. A special stage that could only be seen at this fan concert was also presented. With an introduction that said, “Ever since I was a trainee, I dreamed of performing this song someday,” he raised the excitement to the max by presenting a cover stage of JY Park’s “Kiss.”
Junho, who returned to the stage to the voices calling his name, selected “Back to the Origin,” “Ride Up,” and “Say Yes” as his encores and responded to the enthusiastic support of the audience by waving their hands and making eye contact. “This performance was completed because the fans sang together and cheered us on. He said, “Thank you so much,” and promised to meet again.
Lee Jun-ho, who successfully completed the Tokyo concert following Incheon on January 25th and 26th, will continue the heat with Taipei on the 22nd and 23rd, where all tickets were sold out, and Sao Paulo on March 1st and 2nd (local time). Lee Jun-ho, who is meaningfully starting the year with his fans through a fan concert tour of 8 performances in 4 regions at home and abroad, is also preparing to air the Netflix series ‘Cashier’ and tvN ‘Typhoon Boss’ in 2025, so expectations are high for his all-out activities.
