A Three-Day Summer Festival of Feelings
On August 15–17, Hwang Youngwoong turned Yonsei University Auditorium into a heartfelt celebration of music and connection. His fanmeeting, part of the “2025 Paradise Summer Project: Woongie’s ♥ Cells,” wasn’t just a concert—it was a love letter to his fans.
Themed around five emotions—longing, excitement, temptation, jealousy, and happiness—the event mixed acoustic performances, Q&A sessions, and live games with fans. Every moment felt personal, as Hwang locked eyes with fans, laughed sincerely, and shared candid thoughts from the stage.
The Crowd-Favorite Moment
The highlight? His live performance of “Is This What Love Feels Like?” The room melted as he crooned in his signature soft vocals and grinned while asking, “Are you all feeling good? I’m feeling amazing—so, so good!” The fans roared in response, soaking up every ounce of his sincerity.
Gifts, Bread, and Kindness
This wasn’t a one-sided affair. Hwang handed out personalized gifts: light sticks, custom T-shirts, and even red bean bread and soboro buns—yes, he helped pack them himself. He also set up air-conditioned rest zones for fans braving the summer heat. Meanwhile, his fan club ‘Paradise’ returned the love with a coffee truck for the singer and his staff, keeping the good vibes flowing.
Fans React with Love
Fans were quick to share emotional reactions online: “I laughed and cried through every song,” wrote one. Another commented, “It reminded me that Hwang Youngwoong isn’t just an artist—he’s a warmhearted person.” With every ticket sold out, the event left an emotional afterglow strong enough to outshine the heat of summer.
On the Award Front
Beyond the fanmeeting, Hwang continues to dominate the online voting scene. He’s currently leading in five categories—Male Singer, Album, Fanbook, CF Model, and the coveted Net Grand Prix—at the upcoming Netizen Awards. All eyes are on whether he’ll join the ‘100K Club’—a key milestone driven by fan votes.
A Memory to Hold Onto
This event wasn’t just a performance—it was a story of care, connection, and genuine appreciation on both sides of the stage. For fans, it felt like a summer gift wrapped in music, laughter, and warm bread.
