Singer Son Tae-jin has lifted his first trophy after his comeback with his first full-length album.

Son Tae-jin proved his great popularity by rising to the top with ‘Mask’, one of the triple title songs from his first full-length album ‘SHINE’, on ‘The Trot Show’, aired on SBS FiL, SBS M on the 11th.

On that day, Son Tae-jin sang ‘Mask’ on stage, delivering a comforting message to lonely youth, hoping that a day as bright as the sun will come. Son Tae-jin sang the song with even deeper emotions, leaving a deep aftertaste.

Son Tae-jin previously won first place on MBN‘s ‘Burning Trotman’ with ‘A Really Good Person’ and the single ‘Your KakaoTalk Picture’ on ‘The Trot Show’ for three consecutive weeks, entering the Hall of Fame twice this year alone. Furthermore, attention is focused on whether Son Tae-jin will be able to enter the Hall of Fame for the third time with ‘Mask’.

Son Tae-jin broke the all-time initial week record with his first full-length album ‘SHINE’, and lined up the triple title tracks ‘Mask’, ‘Flower’, ‘Call Me You’, as well as the other songs on the album, from 1st to 7th place on Bugs’ adult song chart, a major domestic music site. Also, with all tickets sold out, the ‘2024 Son Tae-jin Solo Concert ’The Showcase‘ National Tour’ was held successfully at the Kyunghee University Peace Hall in Seoul on the 9th and 10th.

Son Tae-jin is continuing his tour in Daejeon, Daegu, Ulsan, and Busan following Seoul, and has confirmed additional performances in Gwangju, Jeonju, and Goyang due to the enthusiastic support of his fans.
