'23 years into his debut, wouldn't he take things a bit easier now?'

That expectation was beautifully proven wrong.

Kim Jun-su proved the stage with his entire body once again.

Aegyo from 2004

If fans want it, he doesn't hesitate.

He summoned everything, even the stages of the second generation era.

Singer Kim Jun-su made his return with his regular album "Gravity" after 10 years. Recently, he held his sixth Asia tour "Gravity in Seoul" at KSPO Dome and met with fans.

He overwhelmed with his explosive vocal power and live performance skills. As someone called "the best dancer among singers who sing well," his performance remained solid.

It was hard to believe he was 23 years into his debut. He sang and danced with passion comparable to a rookie. Admiration burst from the audience at his stage where he didn't spare his body.

His chemistry with fans also shone. He passed a microphone to the audience and exchanged words with them. The atmosphere was like that of old friends rather than an artist and fans on stage. The laughter never ceased.

Dispatch was also present at the concert. For Coconuts whose aftertaste from the performance hasn't faded, we open Kim Jun-su's rehearsal scene and behind-the-scenes moments.

"Beginning rehearsal"

Kim Jun-su poured out high notes from the first song.

He meticulously checked even the smallest sounds.

"I want to give a good stage to the fans."

He continued a serious conversation with the sound director. He went through the song phrase by phrase and conveyed his opinions. From the rehearsal venue itself, he drew admiration with a professional approach.

"I'm excited thinking about meeting the fans"

After finishing his makeup, he encountered his "Reels friend."

"You again..." (resignation)

But as soon as it began, his eyes changed.

The blouse "Gravity" that sent Coconuts wild

"An irresistible feel ♬"

Kim Jun-su jumped onto the stage at the fans' call.

"Long time no see!"

He continued to traverse the stage. He sang approaching closest to the fans. Even while running, he filled the choreography completely. He displayed skill to the point where it was hard to distinguish whether it was a recording or a live performance.

"I released a regular album 10 years later. It took such a long time that I also felt sorry and apologetic toward you all. I will do my best and perform passionately because of that, so please enjoy it!"

"Fresh like Kim Jun-su's smile, we presented 'Forest of Memories.'"

He sang "My NIGHT" sweetly as well.

Today's performance could be called a "talk concert" with many conversations shared with fans. Kim Jun-su thanked the fans for liking his new songs.

The "Gravity" music video surpassed 8.01 million views (as of the 24th). Kim Jun-su asked, "For the 10 million view pledge, does anyone have a good idea?"

"Regular 6th album", "Encore concert", "Fan meeting", "Rap"

"What? I didn't know things like this would come up"

Kim Jun-su collapsed down but then said he would try anything.

"I understand your hearts. I got it, I will definitely repay you!"

He continued the conversation with fans.

"I became a fan after watching the musical 'Death Note' with my real older brother. You're a lovely person who dances well, and the way you speak like a chick is cute" (Fan)

"(But) would 19 be okay..? There are (many) fresh 20-year-olds too..." (Kim Jun-su)

"You're fresh so it's fine!" (Fan)

Fresh performance

And the ear candy continued.

Kim Jun-su suddenly pulled off his tie pin.

"Want it?"

He fully prepared to dance. As the intro flowed, screams erupted from the audience.

"A song he's performing for the first time in 20 years. We will present 'Siatic,' written, composed, and arranged by Kim Jun-su"

Kim Jun-su ran up to the second floor.

While doing the live performance, he gave high fives to each fan one by one.

"I'm all soaked (in sweat), but you all look fresh. Let's jump together! Everybody jump!"

Even cute songs, if fans want it, he sang everything.

"When I'm with the fans, I receive energy. On stage, I end up in a state of total absorption.

I also thought 'I put out a good 5th album.' I'm really grateful. I will continue to work hard. Thank you!"
