LIBELANTE
Cross-over group LIBELANTE, former winner of “Phantom Singer 4“, predicted truly global activity.
LIBELANTE (Kim Ji Hoon, Jin Won, Jung Seung Won and Roh Hyun Woo) held its first solo performance at Kiyoi Hall in Tokyo on November 28. The group will then meet local fans at the Culture Hall in Nanao, Ishikawa Prefecture on December 5.
It’s an unusual move for a Korean crossover group to hold a solo concert in Japan six months after its debut, attracting the attention of many domestic and foreign fans even before the performance.
LIBELANTE’s solo concert in Japan was actively invited by Yukiko Kondo, producer of “Concordia”, a historic classical music company in Japan. Kondo praised LIBELANTE member JIN WON‘s heavy voice and invited him to the opening stage of the 15th “Asia Televi Drama Conference” held in Japan earlier this year. After JIN WON‘s victory in “Phantom Singer 4“, LIBELANTE’s solo performance was promoted and the meeting was held again.
LIBELANTE announced its high potential as a global artist by decorating the stage with touching and grandiose harmonies, with prominent figures from the Japanese classical music industry invited to perform.
World-renowned composer Machiro Oshima conducted the orchestra and was in charge of the melody. LIBELANTE performed a variety of performances, including the title-winning final song at “Phantom Singer 4” and “바람이 머무른날” composed by Machiro Oshima and sung by Jo Sumi. Particularly, when LIBELANTE sang “바람이 머무른 날“, the audience cried and responded with a warm round of applause.
The concert was broadcast live and connected online and offline by U-next, marking the first step towards K-Crossover in Japan. LIBELANTE’s concert in Japan will also be held in Nanao City, Kanazawa.
LIBELANTE will release its first mini album “La Libertà” on various music sites at 6 p.m. KST on December 12. It will include a variety of songs that sing of freedom and hope, including the special winter single “This winter“, which was pre-released on November 28.
Earlier, LIBELANTE raised expectations by publishing various contents such as the schedule and concept photo of the mini album “La Libertà” on its official SNS.
