Singer Kim Yeon Woo once again proved the clout of a brand concert that represents the Christmas season.
Kim Yeon Woo held the Christmas concert "Oh My God Yeon Woo" at Kyung Hee University Peace Hall in Seoul on the 20th and 21st and successfully wrapped up the two-day journey. The Christmas concert, which began in 2009 and meets audiences every year at the end of the year, this year also solidified its reputation as a "a must-see show".
At the heart of the Kim Yeon Woo concert was the essence of live performance. A stage that did not rely on pre-recordings or backing tracks was completed by the sound created inside the venue itself. Band playing centered on Kim Yeon Woo's breath and emotion, combined with the live performances of the onstage cast, drew a high level of immersion, and at the venue the reaction continued as "as expected, Yeonwoo-shin".
This concert was staged with the "Yeonwoo Express" concept. In the opening video, the audience boarded a train and shared the journey to the Arctic, and after the video ended Kim Yeon Woo opened the train door and appeared to signal the start of the performance. The audience became not just observers of the performance but naturally took part in the flow of the show.
Opening the show with "Hello My Friend" and "To Be With You," Kim Yeon Woo conveyed feelings of joy and excitement as if greeting fans he had not seen in a long time. Later, for songs about parting such as "Crumbs," "Farewell Taxi," and "If You Were Like Me," he drew immersion through understated emotional expression, and he refreshed the atmosphere with audience events and witty remarks.
In the midshow, the stages for "Good Goodbye" and "Extinction Love" followed. These stages, which reinterpreted two recently much-loved songs with Kim Yeon Woo's unique vocals and live arrangements, preserved the charm of the original songs while clearly showing his color. On the 20th, Lee So-jung participated as a guest, and on the 21st, Lee Ye-jun joined as a guest, each matching Kim Yeon Woo's rhythm with different charms and offering audiences a fresh pleasure.
In the second part, he greeted the audience with an expansion of genres. The musical stages composed of "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago" broadened the scale of the show with performances alongside actors, and in the following George Michael segment, he maximized the sense of the season with songs including the Christmas emblem "Last Christmas," completing the winter night's atmosphere.
From "Still beautiful" through "I was happy... goodbye," the show returned to being centered on Kim Yeon Woo's lyrical vocals. The set list, designed to follow the flow of emotion, created even stronger immersion as the concert moved into its latter half.
Finally, the finale in which all cast members came on stage to greet the audience is a long-standing tradition and symbolic scene of the Kim Yeon Woo concert, showing that the cast, the audience, and everyone present together were the stars of this show.
Kim Yeon Woo's Christmas concert "Oh My God Yeon Woo" was a stage faithful to the essence of live performance while organically blending the show's composition and direction, lighting·stage·and sound. This level of completeness clearly shows why Kim Yeon Woo is chosen by audiences every year at the end of the year and left another impressive winter.
