Singer and actor Enok successfully concluded his first solo concert in Japan, proving Enok's unique charm resonates on the global stage.
Enok held his first solo concert in Japan, 'Enok 1st concert in Japan,' in two sessions on the 13th at Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall in Tokyo, sharing musical rapport with local fans. The venue was filled with excitement even before the start as audiences came not only from Japan but also from Korea.
Enok sweetly opened the show by singing '君は薔薇より美しい (you are more beautiful than a rose)' in Japanese. Enok's sweet voice and steady live performance immediately immersed the audience, and Enok's Japanese greeting and heartfelt remark, "I'm so excited and happy to be able to make eye contact with you here in Tokyo. I have dreamed of this stage for a long time and have been waiting," heated up the concert atmosphere even more.
For this stage, Enok presented a colorful show with a 15-song setlist spanning a wide range of genres from Japanese classics to Latin, chanson, musical numbers, Korean trot and pop. On the 'Night Mist' stage that earned him the nickname 'sexy Enok,' he raised the concert's heat to a peak with an intense performance, and he delivered special emotion to local fans by performing the Japanese version 'Tokyo Station blues' of the new song 'Daejeon Station blues' he sang on MBN 'King of Singers 2.' He earned audience response with lively performances on stages including last year's released 'Mr. Swing' and 'With you.'
Enok's Japan concert was made even more substantial with a talk time designed to communicate with Japanese fans who want to know more about him. Enok communicated with fans on various topics, from why he chose '君は薔薇より美しい (you are more beautiful than a rose)' as his first Japanese single album to behind-the-scenes stories of Japanese culture and broadcasting, showing a friendly charm, and through specially prepared events he warmed the atmosphere by giving fans autographed albums and merchandise.
Enok, who said he carefully prepared everything from song selection for a Japan concert that would be different from his shows in Korea, fulfilled his wish to give special memories not only to Japanese fans but also to fans who came from Korea to see him, completing a high-quality performance that satisfied everyone in the audience. Japanese fans could not stop being moved by Enok's explosive vocal power, stage-dominating charisma and his seemingly endless charms full of twists and surprises. In particular, reports say they were moved by the care Enok took to prepare Korean songs translated into Japanese to communicate delicately with local fans.
Near the end of the concert, Enok expressed gratitude, saying, "Before going on stage I was half excited and half worried, but because you cheered for each and every song and empathized with me, now I only feel thankful and happy." Marking his first solo concert in Japan with photos with the audience, he promised the next meeting with his second single 'また逢うまで (until we meet again)' and ended the performance with the encore 'Amor Fati.'
Meanwhile, after successfully concluding his first solo concert in Japan, Enok is set to debut as a master on MBN 'King of Singers 3,' which will air Tuesday the 17th, and will delight listeners as the special DJ for two weeks on KBS 2Radio Happy FM 'Eun Ga-eun's shining trot' replacing trot singer Eun Ga-eun, who is going on maternity leave at the end of this month.
