Singer and musical actor Kim Junsu has shared good news after 1 year and 6 months.
Palm Tree Island announced, "From October 9 (Thursday) to October 12 (Sunday), a brand concert by singer Kim Junsu, 'XIA 2025 CONCERT Chapter 2: Festa,' will be held for four days at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium." This performance is a solo concert, the first since last year's encore concert 'Chapter 1: Recreation,' presented after about 1 year and 6 months, and is the second chapter of a brand concert series that solidifies the identity of Kim Junsu and XIA, capturing his unique emotions and stage charm that crosses genres.
While 'Chapter 1: Recreation' introduced a new direction to Kim Junsu's performances with diverse stage setups that crossed genres, explosive live performances, and intense choreography, 'Chapter 2: Festa' will expand that universe and meet fans with a new resolution. The subtitle of the performance, 'Festa,' an Italian word meaning 'festival,' 'feast,' or 'celebration,' indicates that this concert will go beyond a simple stage to become a true festival where artists and fans breathe and enjoy together.
The news of this concert and the teasing poster released alongside it have also garnered a passionate response from fans. The vibrant visuals enhanced by retro sentiments, illustrated with a character of Kim Junsu, drew immediate attention from fans right after its release, while the main phrase "Let's enjoy the Festa!" intuitively conveyed the concept of the performance, elevating fan anticipation.
Notably, the phrase 'WITH MEMORIES' written at the bottom of the poster goes beyond a simple slogan; it evokes memories that Kim Junsu has built with fans through new brand concerts held at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in 2023 and 2024, while also hinting at new memories to be created together during the upcoming 'Chapter 2: Festa' performance. This teasing poster, delivering Kim Junsu's message first, serves as a warm beacon signaling a new beginning for the brand concert series and has left a strong impression on fans as an iconic image that encapsulates the emotion of the performance. There is also growing interest in how the identity of this performance will be concretized in the upcoming main poster.
As it is Kim Junsu's solo concert held in Korea after about 1 year and 6 months, this stage holds special meaning for both the artist and fans. Following the announcement of 'XIA 2025 JAPAN FAN CONCERT: Journey to You' to be held in Japan in August, hinting at reconnecting with local fans after a long time, 'Chapter 2: Festa' will also be a chance to write another new chapter with Korean fans. Given that this is Kim Junsu's solo concert finally held on a domestic stage, a performance of even higher completeness is eagerly anticipated.
Meanwhile, Kim Junsu's brand concert 'XIA 2025 CONCERT Chapter 2: Festa' will be held for four days at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium from October 9 to October 12.
