Jung Yong-hwa, a South Korean actor and member of the boy group CNBlue, has revealed that he plans to become a solo artist in the future.
“I am currently preparing for my solo album and concerts. I wish to hold my own world tour fan meeting soon,” the singer was quoted as saying during “Sweet Melody,” the first of two solo fan meetings held in Tokyo on Sunday.
The meetings were held at 1:30 p.m and 6 p.m., and the 5,000 and 10,000 tickets sold out quickly, according to the singer’s agency FNC Entertainment.
The fan meeting started off with a performance of Jung’s self-composed song “Feeling.” During the show, Jung sang various songs requested by his fans prior to the event. The set list included other songs written by Jung, including “Monday,” “Try Again, Smile Again,” “Because I Miss You” and “You’ve Fallen for Me” from the original soundtrack of his drama “Heartstrings.”
Jung also put on special events for his fans, imitating the romantic scenes of “Heartstrings” and showing video clips of greetings from his celebrity friends, including singer IU, Lee Joon of MBLAQ and actress Yoon Eun-hye.
The 25-year-old heartthrob gained fast popularity worldwide through his active participation in both dramas and music. His group CNBlue recently released its album “Wave” in Japan, which instantly topped the Oricon chart upon its release. Jung is also currently participating in the filming of tvN’s drama “The Three Musketeers,” playing Park Dal-hyang, one of the main characters.
