Fan Article: Kim HyunJoong Heating Up The Music Scene In 2022

Kim HyunJoong is heating up the music scene of 2022 with music releases in Korea, a Japanese top chart single, and the start of his current world tour, “The End of a Dream”!

His year started finishing a brilliant 3-year online concert presence during COVID-19 with a fantastic free concert called the “Gift”. He followed it with the third season of his “Music in Korea series” available on his YouTube channel. It consists of songs from his amazing career set in beautiful South Korean settings!

Then he turned up the heat in August with a brilliant OST for the Japanese movie, “Violence Action”. It was released in a single that has been topping the Japanese charts gaining him Billboard and Rolling Stones recognition in Japan. He followed this closely with the first four songs released of his upcoming album “My Sun”. These beautiful songs are a mix of rock, jazz, and new wave elements that provide impactful emotional pieces. These songs are being showcased in his new tour “The End of a Dream”.

The tour started in Japan. Kim HyunJoong had a busking session on a local TV show followed by an interview and had a premiere of the movie from which his chart-topping single song of ‘Dreamer’ was showcased. There was only a guest appearance at Kotaro Oshio‘s anniversary concert. The song that they did together ‘Twilight’ was received so well that he was asked to record with him. In the new album of Oshio, ‘Twilight’ now features Kim HyunJoong. The concert starring HyunJoong and his Gemini band was a huge success highlighting new tracks from his upcoming album “My Sun”!!

After Japan, his tour started heating up Latin and South America with stops in Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile to sold-out audiences. One stop, Columbia, faced permit issues from the city. Despite an attempt to postpone, it had to be canceled with the promise of being added later in the tour next year. The Columbians waiting received the news with grace and we’re rewarded with a hotel online live performance of great energy and love. The return is awaited eagerly.
