Singer-songwriter Kwon Jin-ah successfully concluded her five-day year-end theater concert, fully immersing herself in music and showcasing her artistic growth through pure vocals and live performance.

From December 24 to 28, Kwon held her concert "This Winter: Best Wishes" at Ewha Womans University ECC Samsung Hall in Seoul. The venue holds special meaning for her, as it was the site of her first solo concert six years ago. She shared that returning to the same hall—now with a broader career behind her—felt especially emotional.

Earlier this year, Kwon expanded her scale with a concert at Jamsil Indoor Stadium. This time, she deliberately chose a smaller space, stepping on stage with just her guitar and minimal accompaniment. Without flashy production, she relied solely on music to connect with fans.

She led the entire performance from start to finish, supported only by three session musicians and no backing vocals. Kwon personally played guitar on more than half of the setlist, delivering stable live vocals while fully controlling the flow of the show.

The concert highlighted her versatility across genres, ranging from ballads and folk to R&B, rock, and jazz. She performed emotional tracks like "Luck Was on My Side" and "The End," while switching the mood with rock-driven songs such as "Like This," "Night," and "Raise Up the Flag," revealing powerful sound and dynamic range.

The setlist also included Christmas carol covers, the OST "Another Name for You" from Netflix's Genie, Make a Wish, and "HOPE" from Eunjung and Sangyeon, adding richness to the live arrangements.

On the final night, December 28, Park Jin-young made a surprise appearance. Together, they performed a duet of his new song "Happy Hour (On the Way Home)" and also shared stages for "That's How My Heart Is" and "I Have a Girlfriend," accompanied by Kwon's guitar.

Kwon reflected that returning to the venue of her first solo concert after years of growth felt deeply meaningful, thanking fans for giving her the strength to complete all five shows. She added that it was her most intense period of practice since K-pop Star, pushing herself to the point of exhaustion and gaining an indescribable sense of achievement.

She promised to return in 2026 with even stronger music and a more solid inner foundation. Meanwhile, Kwon Jin-ah will continue her busy schedule, appearing as a guest at Brown Eyed Soul's concert "Soul Tricycle" on December 31.
