Singer Park Ji-hyun successfully completed her solo concert in her hometown Mokpo.

Park Ji-hyun held her solo concert ‘SHOWMANSHIP - Mokpo’ a total of two times on the 15th and 16th at 5 PM at Mokpo Indoor Gymnasium.

This concert is Park Ji-hyun‘s first solo concert tour since her debut, and is the third show following Seoul and Daegu. March 16th was especially meaningful as it was held in her hometown Mokpo, marking the 2nd anniversary of her debut.

Park Ji-hyun filled the 160-minute running time with a rich song selection and stage composition. The last performance on the debut day featured a surprise celebratory event, making it even more special.

Park Ji-hyun, who continued singing ‘I Can’t Leave You’, expressed her feelings about holding a solo concert in her hometown of Mokpo on the 2nd anniversary of her debut. After the ‘Binjan’ stage, they also had an interview corner with the audience to communicate more closely.

Then, they heated up the atmosphere of the first part of the performance with refreshing singing and sly stage gestures in songs like ‘Iraye’, ‘Only the Courageous Can Buy Beauty’, ‘Flower Wind Woman’, ‘Ugly Love’, ‘Mitsgo’, which have witty dialect lyrics.

They also showed off a special stage. The dance performance combining ‘Coming-of-Age Ceremony’ and ‘Honey’ elicited explosive cheers while simultaneously showing off cuteness and sexiness.

The end of the first part was decorated with the ‘Youth Rest Stop’ VCR screening and the ‘Youth Rest Stop Medley (‘What‘s Wrong with My Age’, ‘I Like You’, ‘Love Triangle’, ‘Brother’, ‘Nest’). Park Ji-hyun, who appeared with her choreography team, brought the exciting atmosphere to its peak with dynamic choreography and wide stage use.

The parody VCR of the movie ‘Tazza’ was played, eliciting an enthusiastic response from fans. Park Ji-hyun, who opened the second part, boarded a boat installed on the stage and passionately sang the title song ‘Sea Man’ and the track ‘Port of Farewell’ from her new mini-album released in January. She perfectly delivered the sorrowful lyrics and showed off her emotional yet charismatic masculine charm.

Park Ji-hyun selected songs that had become topics of conversation when they were performed on broadcasts, such as ‘Ugly Guy’, ‘Gayageoya’, ‘Rain is Falling on a Man’s Chest’, and turned the mood around with her deep voice that stimulated the emotions of the audience. Next, a VCR telling the story of her parents was broadcast, and she passionately sang ‘Irreversible Years’ and ‘Mokpo Blues’, stimulating the audience‘s sensibilities with a stage full of narrative.

Park Ji-hyun expressed her gratitude to the staff and audience who worked together to create the performance, and introduced the next song, ‘My Way’. She also added to the excitement by performing a ‘Nightclub Medley‘(’I’m Okay‘, ’Gorgeous Single‘, ’Shaken Friendship‘, ’Lovers in the Rain‘).

After passionately singing ‘Don‘t Leave Me’ for the last song of the performance, she took a group photo with the audience and made precious memories. She then shared her thoughts on successfully completing the Mokpo performance, and raised expectations by expressing her determination for the upcoming nationwide tour concert. She also had a meaningful time by expressing her gratitude to the fans who congratulated her on her 2nd debut anniversary. The concert ended successfully with the encore stage ‘We Can Do It’ and ‘I Like It When You Smile’.
