GOT7’s Jinyoung once again proved his true worth as an “idol” whom people can trust to listen to and trust to watch. Over two days, on November 7 and 8, Jinyoung’s “2026-27 PARK JINYOUNG 1st CONCERT TOUR [CODE#]” (hereafter “CODE#”) was held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul. This concert was Jinyoung’s first solo concert in the 14 years since his debut in 2012, and it was a performance that announced the opening of the tour that will continue in the future. Through the performance name “CODE#,” Jinyoung put in his aspiration to show the audience a variety of sides of himself. It is a title filled with his sincerity that, just as an appropriate output value is produced according to the entered code, he will deliver and show the songs and dances that listeners and audiences want as singer Jinyoung. Amid deafening cheers, Jinyoung appeared on stage and captivated the audience not only with his unique sweet voice and live performance full of presence to comfortable live band accompaniment, but also with outstanding dance skills befitting his background as a JYP Education Trainee, a title given to only six people in JYP Entertainment’s trainee history (GOT7’s Jinyoung and JAY B, DAY6’s Young K, TWICE’s Jihyo, Stray Kids’ Bang Chan, and NEXZ’s Tomoya), who lead and train other trainees. In this performance, he charmed the audience with a rich setlist that included not only solo songs and GOT7 group songs, but also the first-ever stage performance of the unreleased song “Summer Night.” On the 8th performance, a special guest made a surprise appearance, delighting fans. Wonpil of the band DAY6, who worked on and sang “Seventeen (with DAY6’s Wonpil),” a track from Jinyoung’s second solo mini album “Said & Done,” released this May, appeared without notice and performed “Seventeen” on stage for the first time. Jinyoung, who delivered a sweet limited duet with Wonpil, revealed the story behind its creation: “We started as trainees together when we were 17. When we were in the middle of our youth, we said, ‘Wonpil, if we ever release an album someday, let’s definitely do something together.’ While postponing it, thinking we’d do it someday, there is such a thing as timing if we don’t do it in this work. I felt like if time passed, we wouldn’t be able to do it anymore. So I asked Wonpil, and as if he had been waiting, he was very happy, and we wrote the lyrics together.” Wonpil looked back, saying, “As the lyrics of ‘Seventeen’ say, it was a time when we were only drawing dreams.” He added, “Now Jinyoung and I are each continuing to pursue those dreams in our own places. It felt like this song was truly precious because it seemed like we were each working hard in our own positions. Since Jinyoung wrote a lot of the lyrics of ‘Seventeen’ overall, I was able to write smoothly too.” Jinyoung praised him, saying, “The Wonpil I remember was really, unbelievably good at singing within DAY6. He is truly an amazing artist. I still remember how breathtaking his voice was when he sang R&B. That was 14 years ago. So when the two of us sing like this, I definitely wanted to sing R&B. When I heard ‘Seventeen,’ I thought I absolutely had to do it with Wonpil.” In response, Wonpil said, “I was truly happy. If it had not been for Jinyoung’s album this time, there probably would not have been many opportunities for us to do this together, but thanks to it, I was able to sing such a wonderful song, such a meaningful song, and I am sincerely grateful that today I was able to stand on the stage of Jinyoung’s solo concert together like this. Thank you very much to the Agase (GOT7’s fans).” Jinyoung also greeted, “Thank you to the My Day (DAY6’s fans) as well.” Near the end of the performance, Jinyoung conveyed the sincerity he had not been able to say enough of. He expressed gratitude, saying that while preparing for the performance for about one and a half to two months, the pressure was great, but the fans’ support became a huge source of strength and allowed him to stand on stage. He confessed his love to the fans who had supported him unchanged for a long time, and even made a promise that he would continue quietly and humbly with music, acting, and activities as a member of GOT7, delivering deep emotion. Jinyoung is drawing attention by achieving a “reverse run” on various music charts. Jinyoung’s second mini album “Said & Done” track “One-sided love (feat. Choi Yuree)” entered the main chart “TOP 100” of Korea’s major music streaming site MelOn starting November 2. This is not the first time Jinyoung has shown his presence on music charts. Previously, the live video of “When I stop thinking,” which Jinyoung sang with Choi Yuree when he appeared as a guest on Choi Yuree’s YouTube channel “Listen! Yuree’s Forest” on May 29, surpassed 34 million views in about five months. Not only did it record high numbers in terms of YouTube views, but it also succeeded in chart reversals on various music charts. Furthermore, he is also receiving attention as an actor. Jinyoung is passionately playing the role of Kim Tae-woon, the adopted son of the Minister of Government Affairs and the interpreter for the Japanese Government-General of Korea, in the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama “The Lies of 100 Days,” which has been airing since October 10.
