In March 2025, marking the 10th anniversary of his solo debut in Japan, Wooyoung from 2PM released his first best album '3650.zip' on December 24 (Wednesday), which topped the iTunes K-POP album ranking. He also dominated the AWA real-time rising songs top 100, occupying positions 1 to 36. Following a sold-out concert at Kanadevia Hall in Tokyo in November, he held '2025 Jang Wooyoung Concert <half half> in Japan' on December 27 (Saturday) and 28 (Sunday) at Kobe Bunka Hall, which was a great success. Before the concert started, the pleasant sound of live band performances filled the venue. As the lights dimmed, countless pen lights shone, and fans continued to call out for Wooyoung. Wooyoung appeared under the spotlight, high-fived his band members, and began singing 'Carpet'. The excitement grew with 'Going Going', followed by 'Off the record'. Moving to the left side of the stage, he showcased his signature dance with dancers. The 'half half' performance featured a band set on the right half of the stage and a dance space on the left, embodying the 'half half' concept. Greeting the audience, he said, 'I am your vitamin Wooyoung. Let's have a lot of fun today!' and energized the crowd with 'Think Too Much (Feat. DAMINI)', followed by 'Whatever'. He enthusiastically engaged with the audience, shouting, 'Say Kobe! Say 2PM! Say Wooyoung! Shout!' After showcasing his unique groove with 'Chill OUT', he reflected on his role in the drama 'Dream High', singing a bit of the theme song to excite the audience. During 'Happy Birthday', the fans sang along in unison. He then performed 'Make it', a song he wrote for 2PM, while walking through the audience. Returning to the stage, he began singing 'Homecance' in a moody atmosphere, projecting important lyrics from his new best album '3650.zip' on the screen while singing 'Reason'. After receiving Wooyoung's important message, a band session continued on stage. Wooyoung returned with dancers to perform his latest song 'Simple dance', expressing his joy at being able to showcase it in Japan after a long time. He explained the 'half half' concept, stating that he loves dancing but wanted to deliver great singing and performances, leading to this unique structure. After sharing his happiness about releasing his first best album, he performed a chorus of an unreleased new song. He then sang 'Give Up', a solo track from 2PM's 'GENESIS OF 2PM', showcasing his dance with 'She is' and 'Don't act', passionately singing 'Where is She'. The excitement peaked with 'Sexy Lady' and 'Your Other Name', followed by an MC segment where he enjoyed interacting with fans about recommendations in Kobe. Following 'Reality', he launched into a series of high-energy songs: 'Yo Moriyagatte Yo (WOOYOUNG ver.)', 'Party Shots', and 'DJ GOT ME GOIN' CRAZY (feat. Jun. K)', reaching a climax of excitement. The concert continued into the encore stage, where Wooyoung appeared from the second floor singing 'R.O.S.E', walking through the first floor while performing. When attempting to take a commemorative photo on stage, a surprise video played, with fans holding up slogans that read, 'The reason for Hottest is Wooyoung♡ becoming one with half and half♡', delighting him. He responded by showing a handwritten message on stage, 'Wooyoung's reason is Hottest♡', acknowledging the fans' feelings. He vowed, 'I will work hard to sing in front of you all forever', and after 'Letting You Go', concluded with 'MORE'. After uniting the venue, he expressed his honor in performing the last concert of the year in Kobe, wishing everyone a happy new year before bowing deeply and leaving the stage amidst ongoing calls for Wooyoung. The concert was a wonderful showcase of Wooyoung's charm as an artist and entertainer, conveying his heartfelt sincerity. We eagerly await what kind of entertainment he will bring in 2026.
