Singer Jeong Dong-won’s fan concert concluded successfully.

Jeong Dong-won held his 2026 fan concert, titled “Crossing Today, Meeting Again Tomorrow,” at Hall 1 of KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Ilsan on the 13th, meeting with approximately 3,000 fans.

After the opening VCR, Jeong Dong-won opened the concert by singing ‘Only U’ from his second full-length album. Following ‘Real Man,’ he greeted the audience, saying, “This is the last meeting with Universe Total Support before my military enlistment. I think of today as the first step towards the day we meet again.”

After performing ‘Little Doll’ and ‘Lie’ from the ‘Souvenir Album’ series, a special event corner called ‘To. Dong-won at Twenty’ took place. In this segment, fans read time capsule letters they had written for Jeong Dong-won when he turns twenty, using the stationery included in his first mini-album ‘Handwritten Letter’ from 2022. Jeong Dong-won added laughter to the scene by briefly performing songs that matched the content of the letters.

At the end of the corner, video messages from the ‘Mr. Trot’ TOP5 contestants (Jang Min-ho, Young Tak, Lim Young-woong, Kim Hee-jae, Lee Chan-won) were revealed, creating a warm and touching atmosphere in the concert hall. Subsequently, Jang Min-ho, Young Tak, Kim Hee-jae, and Lee Chan-won made surprise appearances from the back of the audience, expressing their special affection for Jeong Dong-won with finger hearts. Jeong Dong-won stated, “I definitely want to do a TOP6 performance after my discharge,” raising fans’ expectations.

Jeong Dong-won reignited the atmosphere with ‘Easy Lover’ before passionately singing ‘Mirage Flower,’ a track from his first mini-album. He also performed ‘Forget-Me-Not’ alongside his past video, stating, “This is a song that has grown with my performances,” adding meaning to the stage.

After singing ‘To You Again,’ the double title track from the recently released ‘Souvenir Shop Vol. 2,’ Jeong Dong-won said, “When a concert ends, I felt a lot of regret, but also a sense of accomplishment. But this time, I only feel regret. But I have to do it bravely.” He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the staff and fans, saying, “Today is a day that must be captured in photos,” and recorded a special memory by taking a group photo with the audience along with a surprise cake.

Afterward, a video sent by the staff and fans to Jeong Dong-won was played unexpectedly. Jeong Dong-won reacted with surprise, saying, “I rehearsed, but I didn’t know that a video was prepared in this section.” He expressed his thoughts on the video, saying, “Time won’t pass quickly, but I will return in good health and with a more amazing image. I will become singer Jeong Dong-won, who will firmly protect you. I’ll be back soon.”

Jeong Dong-won concluded the concert by passionately singing ‘Crossing Today, Meeting Again Tomorrow’ as the final song. He shared his thoughts, saying, “I worried a lot about how to say my last goodbye before going to the military, but I’m grateful that I can greet you on stage like this. It seems like today has become an unforgettable day as I can decorate the first page of my 20s with you,” giving fans a great impression.

Even after the concert ended, encore requests continued, and Jeong Dong-won presented the stage of ‘Letter from a Private’ along with a video message to the fans, finishing his last performance before military enlistment with a deep lingering impression.

In particular, he seemed overwhelmed with emotion and showed a brief moment of choking up, but he swallowed his tears and continued singing to the end, completing the stage with a calm yet solid appearance.

The fan concert, which lasted about 100 minutes, was a place for Jeong Dong-won to reflect on the time he spent with his fans and the path ahead through music, filled with warm interaction and heartfelt messages. His honest heart conveyed on stage and the enthusiastic support of about 3,000 fans filling the audience created a meaningful day that will be remembered for a long time by both Jeong Dong-won and his fans before his enlistment.

Meanwhile, Jeong Dong-won released his mini-album ‘Souvenir Shop Vol. 2’ on the 5th and will enlist in the Marine Corps Training Group on the 23rd to fulfill his duty of national defense.
