Full Live Band Production at Asakusa Public Hall
The sold-out concert featured a grand production backed by four dancers and a seven-member band performing entirely live. Park took charge of the staging, weaving together vocal performances and acting sequences. He opened the set with “Eien ni Sarangheyo” and “Yoru mo Hiru mo Mayonaka mo,” followed by “Amai Uso”—for which he wrote the lyrics—alongside popular tracks like “Nuna” and “Koi no Honoo.” A screening of his commemorative music video for “Nageki no Ame” preceded a surprise audience-round performance during “Kawaguchiko,” where Park walked through the seating area to connect directly with fans.
During the performance of “Kawaita Machi,” four dancers wearing Park ジュニョン masks ascended to the upper-tier seating to engage the entire venue. After continuing with “Kanryū,” “Buriki no Omocha,” and “Chara,” the concert paused for a 20-minute break. Upon returning to the stage, Park presented a musical block titled “Chasing Dreams,” incorporating his early struggles and experiences following his move to Japan into the theatrical presentation of “Kokoro no Mizu,” “Tokyo Aishū,” and “Namida no Ryūsei.”

Following the main set and encores of “Shigatsu no Yakusoku” and “Dancing Time,” announcements confirmed that the October 26 concert will be preserved for commercial release. The live package is scheduled for March 3, 2027, with the CD priced at 3,700 yen (tax included), and both the Blu-ray and DVD editions set at 7,000 yen (tax included).

Bridging Musical Cultures Across Borders
During a press briefing held prior to the concert, Park discussed his single “Chaoga ~Aishii Hito yo~,” explaining his intent to introduce classic Korean trot music to Japanese listeners while simultaneously encouraging Korean audiences to explore Japanese enka and kayokyoku. He highlighted past moments, including a cover of Hiroshi Itsuki’s “Yoake no Blues” that accumulated one million views online, as evidence of progress toward his goal of serving as a cultural bridge between Japan and Korea.
Approaching his official 15th debut anniversary on March 7, 2027, Park joked with the audience about extending the milestone celebrations. “Please don’t forget, next year is also our 15th anniversary,” he told the crowd at Asakusa Public Hall. “Starting next year, it’s our full 15th year. We’re going to keep celebrating 15 years right up until our 20th.”
