On August 29, receiving the feelings of iKONIC (the name of the fans) who had been waiting for Jinan's return, he was seen shedding tears on stage. The 'JAY 207 2025 JAPAN TOUR' was held in two locations, Yokohama and Osaka, and it was the first time he performed his solo album '207' after his discharge in Japan. There were collaborations with special guest member June and interactions with fans in the audience. This report covers the 'JAY 207 2025 JAPAN TOUR' at KT Zepp Yokohama, filled with laughter, tears, and Jinan's feelings for iKONIC. The venue was intensely illuminated with bright red lights, starting with heavy music that resonated with the red of the penlights. Dressed in an elegant suit with a sheer inner, Jinan performed the title track 'OBEY' from his latest solo album '207'. After singing the melancholic 'Friend Zone', he spoke for the first time, saying, 'Is it hot in Japan, or is it hot here... no, maybe everyone's passion is hot?' Jinan already felt the audience's excitement strongly. After greeting iKONIC after a long time, he murmured, 'The moon is beautiful,' leading into his pre-enlistment solo song 'BLUE MOON'. With a fantastical background and graceful hand movements, he drew the audience into his world. This was followed by the upbeat song 'PARADISE', which excited iKONIC's hearts. After leaving the stage once, a video featuring two Jinan's dressed as an angel and a devil was shown. The cute Jinan and the sexy, cool Jinan answered questions like 'What’s your MBTI?' with the angel saying 'CUTE' and the devil saying 'SEXY'. The content was so rich that cheers never stopped, and even without his presence, iKONIC had a satisfying time. Reappearing in a bright, flashy shirt, he sang 'Angel' and 'When it's raining' with his translucent beautiful voice. Later, during 'One Dance', he went down to the audience, making heart shapes with his hands and shaking hands, enjoying interactions. During 'WAIT FOR YOU', tears flowed from Jinan, making it difficult for him to sing. This song was created while thinking of iKONIC before his enlistment. The farewell just before enlistment... and thinking of the iKONIC who had waited so long, it must have overflowed with too many emotions. Sounds of sniffles could be heard from the audience, marking an unforgettable moment for iKONIC. Even though everyone in the venue was aware of the special guest, Jinan playfully teased, 'A great singer from Korea has come!? Oh... everyone already knows!?' with a satisfied smile, he left the stage once. The appearance of June with a guitar caused the venue to erupt. Starting with funky sounds from the electric guitar, he sang 'Feel Lost'. In the following 'Painful', the mood changed to a sad tune. With powerful vocals in the heavy chorus, he captivated the fans. This was what it meant to impress with song and voice, leaving everyone in awe. The long-awaited MC by Jinan and June was filled with laughter, resembling a comedy skit. Jinan confirmed this, saying, 'Well, we are a gag duo!' with a relieved expression. They talked about June's recent activities, the drama starring June, and that iKON would celebrate its 10th anniversary on September 15. They then sang 'AIRPLANE' and 'MY TYPE' together. Surely everyone had been waiting for this performance from the two. Their harmonious voices, like a family, filled the stage with warm air under the watchful eyes of iKONIC. After June left the stage, Jinan commented, 'I feel like I want to see the other members, and I might cry.' Jinan happily announced, 'I think there are people who want to hear iKON's songs, so I prepared something!' The somber atmosphere quickly rose in voltage. In the dance number 'RHYTHM TA', the choreography featured rhythmic body waves. Before long, everyone in the venue was raising and lowering their hands in sync with the rhythm. In 'B-DAY', Jinan took off his in-ear monitors to hear the cheers directly. The venue reached its peak, and June reappeared midway. There is no word like 'decline' for iKON. It was a stage that confirmed this. Even with just Jinan and June, it felt as if all the members were present, with overwhelming charisma and the power to unite with iKONIC. There was a strong energy that would make even those who had never danced in their lives want to move. Jinan playfully commented, 'I guess June was just bored?' in a mischievous tone. 'How is everyone? Is it the best?' he confirmed the audience's reaction, saying, 'I worked hard to prepare so that I could fill the stage alone, making it feel like all of iKON is here. It's almost the last stage. No, everyone knows it's not the end, right?' he said with a smile, having experienced many encores with iKONIC. He sang the pre-release songs 'We Can't Explain' and 'Title' from his new solo album, and after leaving the stage, the stable encore of 'Kim Jinan! Kim Jinan!' continued. He showcased intense choreography with dancers in iKON's 'DUMB AND DUMBER', bringing the venue to its peak once again. There were moments where he encouraged the audience to sing along, and without a doubt, iKONIC and Jinan were united. While leaving a lingering feeling in the hearts of fans, Jinan confirmed that everyone was filled with satisfaction as he left the stage.
