Singer-songwriter Roy Kim has successfully concluded his exclusive year-end concert series, '2025-26 Roy Kim LIVE TOUR [ja, daumm]', offering fans a special end to the year with his signature soft sensibility and warm voice.

The three-day concert, held from December 12th to 14th at the Ticketlink Live Arena in Olympic Park, Seoul, achieved a complete sell-out, including additional seating made available due to high demand. Roy Kim's direct involvement in the production planning stage, combined with a deepened musical narrative, garnered enthusiastic responses from the audience.

Kicking off the performance with Damien Rice's 'Volcano', Roy Kim continued to captivate the crowd with a string of his hit songs, including 'Spring Spring Spring', 'Love Love Love', 'In the Fall', and 'Home', all delivered with his characteristic warmth. "It's been a year since I returned. Thank you for allowing me to stand on stage again. I'm grateful so many of you came," he shared. "My various activities this year stemmed from a desire to share my music with more people. I'm happy that sincerity seems to have been conveyed."

The concert's immersion deepened with consecutive performances of 'Just Then', 'Big Dipper', 'If We Break Up Then', and 'We Just Live On'. The energy reached its peak during 'Flying Through the Deep Night' when the entire audience rose to their feet, filling the venue with a resounding applause. Roy Kim's stable vocals and delicate emotional expression left a profound and lasting impression.

The mid-section of the show saw a shift in energy with brighter tracks like 'Smile Boy', 'Melody For You', and 'WE GO HIGH', injecting a change of pace. Roy Kim's witty remarks and natural interactions with the audience transformed the venue into a comfortable and festive atmosphere.

A significant moment was the premiere of his unreleased new song, 'What Should I Say?'. Roy Kim explained, "This is a song I wrote recently, thinking of those among my listeners who might need comfort. I wanted to give back as much comfort as I receive on stage. I pray that you all can shake off your pains while listening." The performance resonated deeply with its sincere message.

Furthermore, the 'LIVE MUSIC DRAMA' segment, first introduced last year, returned in an upgraded format. Based on Roy Kim's original writing, it combined emotional narration, music, and high-quality visuals, providing the audience with an immersive experience akin to watching a music film.

The latter half of the concert built emotional momentum with mega-hits such as 'I'll Be Your Flower', 'If You Ask Me What Love Is', and 'Can't Express It In Another Way'. "Every year, it's all thanks to you, the audience, that I can spend a dreamlike year-end. I will pray that everyone's 2026 is filled with more happiness and joy," he expressed his gratitude, concluding the three-day event with encore performances of songs like 'Nothing is Forever' amidst enthusiastic cheers that lingered even after the show ended.
