KIM WOO JIN, a former member of the group STRAY KID, expressed his impression and his thoughts on holding a fan meeting before his for this first semester.
This April 8th, KIM WOO JIN told Spotify News: “I have had plenty of time to relax and reorganize my mind. I have traveled with my friends many times, exercised and worked hard on my development. I missed the stage a lot. I will be hosting a fan meeting in the first half of this year and meeting the fans.”
KIM WOO JIN debuted as a member of STRAY KIDS in 2018 and left the group and JYP Entertainment in October of last year due to personal circumstances. KIM WOO JIN, who has practiced alone, recently prepared his first small-scale solo fan meeting with the performance agency Kevin & Phillips. Part of the profits from the fan meeting will be donated.
KIM WOO JIN finally spoke after about six months and said, “Now that I have to take responsibility for everything by myself, I think I have become more careful and more mature. More and more responsibilities have arisen. It would be a lie if I didn’t feel anxious (after leaving the group), but I’m not too nervous or tired because there are fans who love me very much.“
In recent years, KIM WOO JIN has been able to feel the support and encouragement from his fans. KIM WOO JIN said: “I was organizing my thoughts and I happened to meet a fan while I was living my daily life. He told me that he was waiting for me and encouraged me. I also opened my SNS, because I wanted to communicate with people who say that and repay their love“.
The words of a fan, “I’ll be waiting for you anytime,” are deeply rooted in the heart of KIM WOO JIN. He said, “It’s something I’ve heard a lot, but it’s the most touching story. Having fans waiting for me really gave me a lot of strength,” said he declared.
To meet such fans, KIM WOO JIN is preparing to hold its first fan meeting. He said, “We are working with good people we have known through acquaintances to prepare for this fan meeting. As I have not shown my fans much of my singing skills, I want to let them hear my voice and my music at this meeting. I also prepared a self-written song that contains what I want to say to my fans, and I will be the first to sing my own song at this fan meeting.“
At this fan meeting, he will present a scene in which he will focus more on singing than on performances. He worked hard to make this first fan meeting, taking photos of posters himself and also participating in the manufacture of products, an exceptional moment. He also plans to film this meeting to allow foreign fans to have a souvenir to get.
Even if the singer is preparing to hold a fan meeting, the precise planning of KIM WOO JIN, for his activities, has not yet been decided. It is prudent as there are many variables such as the Covid-19. He focuses on singing rather than planning the release of a song. However, what is certain is his gratitude and love for his fans.
More than anything else, getting closer to the fans is the first thing I want. I want to be a singer who shows a variety of music. It’s not a precise musical direction, but a simple path that can change. I want to show more diverse aspects of me to my fans and I want to communicate with them.
