Hoshino Gen Promises Return with Second Korea Concert in 2025

Japanese singer-songwriter and actor Hoshino Gen is set to hold his second consecutive concert in South Korea.

According to his agency Amuse, Hoshino Gen will meet his Korean fans on February 6, 2025, at the Inspire Arena in Incheon with his concert titled 'Gen Hoshino Live in Korea “Yakusoku” (Promise)'.

This marks Hoshino Gen's first arena performance in Korea. The concert aims to recreate the emotional experience of his successful first visit, which concluded in September of this year. His previous concert, featuring a setlist spanning his musical journey, garnered immense popularity, fueling anticipation for what he will present this time.

The concert's title, 'Yakusoku' (Promise), holds special significance as it represents his commitment to return to Korea more often, a promise he made to fans and special guest Lee Young-ji during his last visit. The swift announcement of a second concert demonstrates his gratitude for the enthusiastic reception from his fans and is expected to be met with similar fervent interest.

Hoshino Gen recently released his new song 'Dead End,' which has been receiving rave reviews. The track, an OST for the movie 'Hirano ni Ukabu Tsuki' (A Moon Floating on Flat Ground), showcases his signature emotional vocals and warm melodies, earning acclaim from global listeners.

Having previously sold out all seats for his first solo concert in Korea, Hoshino Gen has proven his significant popularity. His announcement of a second consecutive visit underscores his affection for his Korean fanbase, and he is diligently preparing to deliver an even more polished performance.

Tickets for 'Gen Hoshino Live in Korea “Yakusoku”' will be available through a pre-sale for members of Hoshino Gen's membership site, YELLOW MAGAZINE+, from February 19th at 6 PM to February 25th at 11:59 PM. Further details can be found on Hoshino Gen's official website.

Korean fans are expressing their excitement, with comments like "Already a second visit! Thank you for keeping your promise," "I'm definitely going this time too!", and "Will we get to hear the new songs?"
