This solo concert, '2025 SEO IN GUK CONCERT TOUR IN JAPAN [SIGNAL]', is his first in about two years. Centered around songs from his mini-album 'IRO' released in 2025, he personally created the setlist and produced the arrangements. Notably, there is a section featuring drama OSTs (original soundtracks) interspersed with talk segments. He will sing 'Finding Myself' from the OST of 'Can I Secretly Love You?' and share behind-the-scenes stories about the production of 'Flower' from 'Tomorrow, With You'. A surprise includes him whispering a famous line from 'Reply 1997' during 'All For You'! This live performance is enjoyable for both K-POP fans and drama fans. ◆ Han Suk Kyu's drama 'Such a Close Betrayer' starts on the 12th. The story follows the country's top profiler investigating a murder case where the suspect turns out to be his only daughter. Han Suk Kyu passionately portrays a father torn between suspicion and trust towards his daughter, earning him the Grand Prize at the '2024 MBC Acting Awards'. The daughter is played by Choi Won Bin, who delivers a mysterious high school student performance that belies her newcomer status. Directed by Song Young Hwa of 'Red Sleeve', the drama features a darker lighting tone and uses shadows and back views effectively. How will the protagonist, as a father and investigator, uncover the truth? Who is the betrayer? The twists and turns of the plot are captivating. ◆ The drama 'Connection' starring Ji Sung starts on the 27th, coinciding with his 49th birthday! He plays a drug investigator who has been made a drug addict by someone and unravels the truth behind the suspicious death of a high school friend. Ji Sung reportedly lost 15 kg for this role, delivering a gripping performance as he suffers from withdrawal symptoms. The heroine, played by Jung Mi Do from 'Hospital Playlist', portrays a charming yet slightly audacious social reporter. Their tense investigation is a highlight! In March, Ji Sung's latest fan meeting '2025 JISUNG FANMEETING IN JAPAN: Just Say' will also be broadcast for the first time on TV, so stay tuned! ◆ The Chinese drama 'Midnight Return' featuring Winwin is also noteworthy.
