「2PM」ジュノ、5年ぶりのソロコンサート盛況
”2PM” JUNHO's successful solo concert for the first time in 5 years... ”If the fans need it, I'll be with them anytime, anywhere, in any form.”
2PM's Lee Juno has just finished his solo concert "2024 Lee Juno Concert <Day We Meet Again>," his first solo concert in about five years.

On January 13th and 14th, Juno held "2024 Lee Juno CONCERT<A Day We Will See Each Other Again>" at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul's Songpa-gu.

This performance was an extension of the Japanese solo arena tour "LEE JUNHO Arena Tour 2023 The Day We Meet Again" in July and August 2023, and attracted much attention as the first Korean solo concert to unfold in about five years since the "2PM JUNHO SOLO CONCERT" in March 2019. As a testament to this, all seats were sold out for both performances at the advance reservation held only for Lee Juno's official fan club and HOTTEST (fandom name: HOTTEST) 9th term last December.

The special stage configuration and setlist of "The Day We Meet Again" showed Juno's passion for his solo concert. Before the concert began, the screen on the stage showed an hourglass that was stuck in the water, visualizing the time that fans and Juno had spent waiting for each other, which heightened the excitement of the audience. The stage was set at the center of the stage wall, which added to the glamorous effect. In addition, the band session installed on both pillars conveyed a vivid sense of presence and heightened the immersion of the performance.

Juno performed a Korean version of "The Day We Meet Again" as the opening song. This is the title name of the song from his 5th Japanese mini-album "2017 S/S" and the title of his Japan solo arena tour in July and August 2023, and the Korean version was shown for the first time, drawing enthusiastic cheers. I am happy to see you again on 'The Day We Meet Again,' and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who came to this concert today," he first greeted the audience, "It has already been two years since 'Before Midnight' in 2022, which was a fan concert in Korea. We are going to make the concert even more fun and interesting than that, so please sing, dance, and have fun with us until the end.

Juno drew the audience's admiration with her deep vocals and fantastic performance according to the set list of 26 songs that she wrote and composed herself. He created a sweet atmosphere with "Nobody Else" and delighted the eyes and ears with "Fire," a charming song with bouncy rhythms. He sang his Japanese solo debut song "Kimi no Koe" and reflected on his start as a solo singer with his fans, followed by the digital single "Nothing But You (Korean Ver.)". Juno said, "It's been 16 years since I debuted at the beginning of the New Year, and it's been 11 years since I made my solo debut. I think the performance "The Day We Meet Again" will be a place where I can look back on 11 years of my life," he introduced the concert and said, "From the beginning to the end of the performance, the set list is made up of songs that I worked directly on the songs. If I have another 10 years, I want to show you better songs and performances with more maturity than I have now," he said, also expressing his firm determination as a singer.

Juno, who is known for his deep love for his fans, provided a rich performance with his first public performance, constantly watching the situation of his fans with a delicate appearance throughout the three-hour performance. The audience's reaction completed the song "SO GOOD" from his first solo best album "ONE" in 2015 together. Next, he captivated fans with "Can I (Korean Ver.)," which he performed for the first time in Korea. In particular, "Zero Point" filled the venue with cheers as he showed his endless charm despite his shyness in the face of the demands pouring in from the fans.

At the end of the performance, Juno said, "It's really strange. The time we've known each other and spent together is so different, but I think we are the same as we were at that moment. I wrote the lyrics to the intro song "The Day We Meet Again" while remembering the way we looked when we first met. I think the one thing that has not changed over time is your support for me. I want to express my gratitude for each and every one of those hearts, but what I can show you now is that I am standing strong, healthy, and by your side. If you, the fans, need me, I will try my best to be with you anytime, anywhere, in any form.

The audience responded to the sincerity he sent them with incessant reactions and applause the moment they saw Juno again. During "Like a star," cell phone flashes filled the venue like stars in the night sky. Fans' voices harmonizing with Juno in "Next to you" doubled the emotion of the song with the sad atmosphere of the song. On the 14th, the last day of the live broadcast, a surprise birthday party was held for Juno, leaving an unforgettable memory with fans at home and abroad.

Juno said, "I don't think it's a matter of course that we can meet like this, and since everyone has put so much time and sincerity into this concert, I'm also making an effort to show them how wonderful I am. These days, every single performance is very precious. I will grow as a healthy person who can be a model of happiness for everyone. In addition, Juno came back to the stage to perform an encore song to the endless fans' voices, expressing his warmth and love for his fans that made them forget about the cold winter weather.

Meanwhile, Juno captivated viewers with his sensitive sensibility and spectacular acting skills in the JTBC drama "King the Land," in which he starred last year, and he has been a global sensation, ranking first in the TV (non-English) category on the Netflix Global Top 10 website three times. He also won the grand prize, Actor of the Year, at the 2023 Asia Artist Awards IN THE PHILIPPINES in December, grabbing the highest honor in the Actor of the Year category for the second year in a row at the same awards ceremony, and grabbed the grand prize trophy at the 2023 APAN STARAW.
