JAE YOON of SF9 accumulated precious memories with his fans on the occasion of his birthday.
JAE YOON held the “2026 SF9 JAE YOON BIRTHDAY PARTY ‘Our Summer’” on August 8 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. KST, spanning a total of 2 sessions, at the Yerimdang Art Hall in Seoul. This concert held special significance as it was the very first solo concert organized by JAE YOON since his debut, while also celebrating his birthday.
On that day, JAE YOON communicated with fans through various segments such as “Jaeyoon’s Choice” where he played a balance game, “The Challenge Has Arrived!” featuring challenges selected by vote, and “Birthday Luck Draw” where he performed games based on keywords. He captured fans’ hearts by demonstrating a fun sense of wit and dance skills, while playing the keyboard himself and singing.
Surprise support from fellow SF9 members also continued. Leader YOUNG BIN and youngest member CHA NI made surprise appearances on stage during a phone call segment to perform a challenge with JAE YOON, showing off their strong friendship.
JAE YOON also delivered a rich performance in harmony with a live band session. After showcasing different sides of his charm through various cover performances, he unveiled his romantic self-composed song “Take you to the Moon” for the first time in front of fans. He also proved his capabilities as a vocalist through his soft timbre, delicate expressive ability, and solid vocal technique.
During photo time, birthday wishes poured in from fans alongside a birthday cake. For the encore, he selected the songs “Weightless” (무중력) and “Round and Round” (돌고 돌아) by SF9, expressing his affection for the group.
JAE YOON shared his thoughts: “I had a lot of worries while preparing this birthday party. Thank you for being here with me. If the opportunity arises again next time, I will create an event like this, so I hope FANTASY (fandom name) will wait patiently until then.” After wrapping up the roughly 120-minute show, he showed extraordinary love for his fans by greeting each one individually during a hi-touch event.
Netizens reacted with comments such as: “It’s even more meaningful because it’s Jae Yoon’s first solo concert”, “It’s touching that he unveiled his own self-composed song for the first time”, “The surprise appearance of Youngbin and Chani is so heartwarming too”, “You can really feel all the fan love filling those 120 minutes”, “Looking forward to SF9’s 10th anniversary activities.”
Furthermore, SF9, celebrating their 10th anniversary since debut this year, will release their 2nd studio album “TENACITY” on August 26. On October 10 and 11, the group will hold a concert in Seoul, and plans to meet fans through various content including a 10th-anniversary pop-up store and a livestream on their debut date.
