Jang Keun-suk Returns to the Stage in Japan
Actor and singer Jang Keun-suk successfully concluded his solo concert ‘2025 JANG KEUN SUK SPECIAL LIVE [Nevertheless]’ in Japan. Held on April 22 and 23 at Makuhari Event Hall, this marked his first solo performance there in about a year. The concert was both a retrospective of his career and a warm reunion with fans who’ve supported him throughout his journey as a solo artist.
A Musical Retrospective with Fans
The show was themed around a look back on Jang’s evolution as a musician, from his debut days to his latest releases. Performing fan-favorite tracks like ‘Let me cry,’ ‘Bye Bye Bye,’ and ‘Chamomile’, he brought high-quality live vocals to the stage. During the show, Jang said, “Whenever I hear ‘Okaeri’ (Welcome back) live, it truly feels like I’ve come home.”
‘Curtain Call’ Makes Its Live Debut
The emotional highlight came during the encore, where he performed his newest song ‘Curtain Call’ live for the first time. Through this song, he reflected on his journey and shared his heartfelt gratitude with fans. Fluent Japanese and sincere communication moved many in the audience—some to tears.
Closing with Community and Emotion
On the final day of the concert, he surprised fans with a double encore, covering Anzen Chitai’s ‘I Love You bukkara hajimeyo’ (‘Let’s Start With I Love You’), expressing his desire to sing it together with fans after watching a live video. It served as a warm and fitting conclusion to a performance that felt both nostalgic and forward-looking.
What’s Next for Jang Keun-suk
This concert symbolized the end of the first chapter in his journey as a solo musician—and the beginning of something new. Continuing his momentum, Jang will return as part of music duo TEAM H, with concerts scheduled in Tokyo and Osaka this June and July under the title ‘TEAM H [RIGHT NOW 2025]’. Fans are excited to see how he evolves further, and Jang is committed to returning their support with more heartfelt performances.
