Singer Son Tae-jin filled the encore concert with moments of emotion and joy.

Son Tae-jin successfully completed his first nationwide tour encore concert, ‘[Seoul] 2024-25 Son Tae-jin Solo Concert ’The Showcase‘ National Tour - Encore’ (hereafter ‘The Showcase’), at the Peace Hall of Kyunghee University in Seoul on the 8th and 9th, solidifying his position as a ‘national singer’.

Through ‘The Showcase’, Son Tae-jin visited eight cities nationwide, starting with Seoul in November of last year, and then Daejeon, Daegu, Ulsan, Busan, Gwangju, Jeonju, and Goyang. As this encore concert is the final performance of a long journey lasting approximately 4 months, Son Tae-jin proved once again his limitless spectrum by greatly changing the setlist from classical to Korean pop, pop, and trot.

Son Tae-jin opened with ‘If You Want’, and then showed off his sweet low-to-mid range voice with ‘Sway’, ‘Casablanca’, and ‘New York New York’. Then, he combined various emotions with ‘Flower’, ‘100M Before Meeting Her’, and ‘Yeon’. In particular, he chose ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’, presenting a sweet serenade in the Son Tae-jin style, bringing about an early spring.

A trot medley stage where Son Tae-jin‘s high-class vocals stood out followed. Son Tae-jin heated up the atmosphere to the max with his passionate stage manners in ‘A Glass of Makgeolli’ ‘Nayana’, ‘Ni’, ‘The Best in My Heart’, and ‘Dollido’. In addition to songs that have been much loved by fans such as ‘Tain’ and ‘Sangsahwa’, he presented an overwhelming spectacle on a grand scale with ‘Mask’ and ‘Whale Hunting’, which became a hot topic when they were performed on stage at the end of last year.

In addition, Son Tae-jin showed off a different charm with ‘I Will Give It All to You’, where he personally played the guitar, and ‘Bulli You’, which caused fans to sing along. Son Tae-jin gave fans unforgettable orange memories by reinterpreting ‘I Can’t Live Without You’, ‘Bingle Bingle’, ‘Let‘s Go on a Trip’ in his own style.

Son Tae-jin, who successfully finished the encore concert, said through his agency, “It has been four months since last November, and it was possible for me to stand on this stage again for an encore concert because there were so many Sonshine members here”. He added, “Thank you for all the support, we will continue to be by your side for a long time with great stages and music.”. Jeon Hyo-jin, Donga.com Reporter jhj@donga.com
