Group DKZ member Jaechan enjoyed a special birthday eve party with his fans.

Jaechan held a birthday fan meeting ‘2024 JAECHAN’s BIRTHDAY ‘EVE PARTY’‘(hereafter ’EVE PARTY)‘ at the Yonsei University Grand Auditorium in Seoul on the 5th.

That day, Jaechan appeared singing ’어쩜 (MAYB)‘ from his solo debut album ’JCFACTORY‘ and greeted Ari (official fandom name). Jaechan then performed ’Oh Girl‘, ’Y.OU‘ on stage, showing off his fresh and boyish charm.

As this fan meeting was held on the day before Jaechan‘s birthday, it was filled with various fan events. Jaechan prepared corners where he could communicate with fans, such as making a birthday cake himself and reading cards sent by the Aris in advance.

Jaechan performed the unreleased song ’Paradise’ for the first time, receiving an enthusiastic response from fans. Jaechan held a surprise event where he randomly attached signed Polaroids to the audience chairs.

DKZ also came out to support Jaechan to celebrate his birthday. DKZ, who decorated the stages of ’Love Thief‘, ’We‘re together’, and ‘Like a Movie’, added richness by holding a challenge bingo. The Aris also sang a happy birthday song for Jaechan, and Jaechan sang his self-composed song ‘Our Season’ as a response song. Jaechan marked the end of the fan meeting with a meaningful performance of his solo debut song, ‘Hello’.

Jaechan said, “I’m glad that my birthday is a reason for me to meet Ari and enjoy it together. I‘m already looking forward to my birthday next year. I’d like to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday, and I hope we can stay together for a long time.“

Jaechan is scheduled to appear as the lead role, Go Soo-ra, in Channel A‘s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Check In Hanyang’, which will air for the first time on the 21st at 7:50 PM.
