Tuesday, September 16, 2025
Last Sunday, 14 September, Mega Star Arena in Kuala Lumpur turned into a night of celebration as Jung Yong Hwa brought his 2025 solo concert tour, LIVE ‘Director’s Cut: Our Fine Days’, to Malaysia. The concert not only marked the 10th anniversary of his solo career but also coincided with the release of his latest mini album, One Last Day. With a decade of music and memories behind him, the evening became a heartfelt tribute to fans who have stood by his side throughout his journey.Breaking away from tradition, Yong Hwa made his entrance in a unique way — not from backstage, but by walking through the ground floor to the stage, a symbolic gesture representing his 10-year path as a solo artist. Opening the show with his timeless hit One Fine Day, followed by Your City, he set the tone for what would become an unforgettable 3-hour performance.The night was packed with music spanning his career, from fan favorites like Make You Mine and Would You Marry Me, to fresh tracks off his latest mini album One Last Day, including Red, Night Runner, Would You, and Espresso Martini. Yong Hwa also brought a new side of himself to the stage with energetic dance performances of Summer Dream, Love Me Baby Love Me, and Pain Healer, even joking during a ment that after 10 years as a vocalist, he now aims to be a “better dancer.”
The concert turned nostalgic when he surprised the crowd with beloved songs like For the First Time Lovers from We Got Married, along with drama OST gems Because I Miss You and Heartstrings, drawing cheers from fans who have followed his journey across music and acting.
Adding to the excitement, Yong Hwa revealed a behind-the-scenes surprise: actor Park Bo Gum, had visited him during rehearsals in Kuala Lumpur. Bo Gum not only came to show support but also recommended local food spots for Yong Hwa to try — a gesture that Yong Hwa promised he would make good on. The mention of Bo Gum’s visit drew cheers from fans, highlighting the warmth and camaraderie that surround his journey.
Towards the finale, Yong Hwa expressed his deep gratitude and affection for his Malaysian fans. Promising to return with his CNBLUE bandmates, he melted hearts further by saying “janji” (promise) in Bahasa Malaysia. Just when fans thought Glory Days was the closing encore, Yong Hwa had more surprises up his sleeve. Returning to the stage, he took on the role of drummer, performing Love Me Baby Love Me and cheekily asking the audience if he was better than CNBLUE’s drummer Minhyuk. The encore stretched on joyfully with You, My Star, Would You, and Small Talk, before Yong Hwa finally bid farewell to a roaring crowd.
With music, memories, laughter, and promises, Jung Yong Hwa’s Director’s Cut: Our Fine Days in Kuala Lumpur became more than just a concert — it was a heartfelt chapter in his story, and a reminder that his journey is one shared closely with his fans. We would like to thank Lo-fi Entertainment for the invitation!
