Yoon Kye-sang, official fan meeting successful… surprise song gift + homemade cookie tribute

Veteran actor and member of the national group g.o.d. Yoon Kye-sang successfully held his official fan meeting ‘LOG’ after 8 years.

Yoon Kye-sang held his fan meeting ‘LOG’ on the 14th at the Donghae Culture and Arts Center Grand Theater in Kwangwoon University in Seoul. This fan meeting was held after 8 years to commemorate Yoon Kye-sang‘s 20th debut anniversary as an actor and the 25th anniversary of his debut as a member of g.o.d. Amid fierce ticket sales, even the additional open seat tickets sold out in an instant, garnering a lot of attention even before the show.

The title of Yoon Kye-sang’s 2024 fan meeting, ‘LOG’, means ‘a record of time, unchanging heart’ and as such, Yoon Kye-sang and his fans looked back on the time and heart they have spent together and strengthened their trust and love for each other. Yoon Kye-sang, who appeared on stage wearing a warm brown knit and slacks, drew cheers from fans as soon as he appeared with his unique visuals and presence. He sincerely confessed, “I prepared this fan meeting because I felt grateful and wanted to repay the fans for all the events they’ve done for me.”

The fan meeting ‘LOG’ was a more special and precious time than ever with various corners that lived up to the fans’ expectations and Yoon Kye-sang’s warm sincerity. It started with the ‘Log-in’ corner, and took time to look back on memories by looking at records about Yoon Kye-sang that were uploaded on the Internet. Yoon Kye-sang, who had signaled comfortable communication with fans, reportedly livened up the atmosphere by continuing with a cheerful tiki-taka.

In the ‘Phase1’ corner that followed, he looked back on Yoon Kye-sang’s time as g.o.d and told the story of singer Yoon Kye-sang. Yoon Kye-sang also made everyone laugh by revealing a behind-the-scenes video for the first time, including a story related to his solo g.o.d concert ‘CHAPTER 0’ that successfully concluded last September. The ‘Phase2’ corner looked back on Yoon Kye-sang‘s filmography that has now passed 20 years, and viewers could truly feel his affection for each of his works.

Yoon Kye-sang also created new memories by looking at content fans have written in the past and content they want to write in the future, and he also performed a song following the release of Yoon Kye-sang’s music log ‘Gye-Pli’.

Yoon Kye-sang especially heightened the excitement by personally moving from the 1st to the 3rd floor to meet with his fans more closely. Yoon Kye-sang not only greeted each and every fan who filled the auditorium with his own eyes, but also sang Emerald Castle‘s ‘Footsteps’, which fans had been waiting for the most, once again after 9 years since the 2015 concert, drawing an enthusiastic response.

At the end of the performance, Yoon Kye-sang showed his love to the fans who attended the fan meeting by offering them cookies he had baked himself. A video of Yoon Kye-sang making cookies while thinking of his fans was surprisingly released as a cookie video for the fan meeting, deeply touching the fans. Yoon Kye-sang, who approached everything from the preparations to the actual performance with sincerity, repeatedly expressed his gratitude to his fans for about 150 minutes.

As he had said on site, Yoon Kye-sang prepared one last gift. For those who came to the concert hall, the happiness and lingering emotions of that day will be shared, and for those who unfortunately could not attend, a fan meeting video that will bring joy will be released soon.

Just Entertainment, his agency, explained, “Yoon Kye-sang’s last gift for his fans this year is the release of a fan meeting video. A behind-the-scenes sketch video will be uploaded first through his agency‘s YouTube channel, and for the actual performance video, details such as the running time and release method are currently being discussed internally, so please wait a little longer.”

Yoon Kye-sang will continue his hot streak with the new SBS drama ’Try: We Become a Miracle‘ scheduled to air in 2025.
