Shin Yu guests at Kondo Masahiko's first Korea concert, duets on 1989 track
Trot singer Shin Yu shared the stage with Japanese idol legend Kondo Masahiko in Seoul on June 27, performing a duet of the 1989 song "Noeul-ui Norae" plus a solo set.
Shin Yu was a guest at Kondo Masahiko's first solo concert in Korea on June 27 at Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The show: Masahiko Kondo ∼ Oh맛치합니다 2026! Special in Seoul.
They'd crossed paths before. Both judged Han-Il Gawangjeon Japan Round on Fuji TV in 2025. Kondo had already been building a Korean fanbase since his 2024 turn on MBN's Han-Il Top Ten Show.
On stage, Shin Yu and Kondo dueted on Noeul-ui Norae (夕焼けの歌), a 1989 Kondo release. Shin Yu then performed solo with Nabbeun Namja ("Bad Man"), one of his signature tracks.
Kondo is a fixture in Japanese idol history. His 1984 hit Gingira Gin ni Sarigenaku (ギンギラギンにさりげなく) cemented his status as a living legend of the Japanese idol world.
Shin Yu's next move: the trot-based jukebox musical Jeonkuk Norae Jarang in July. He's stepping in as a full musical actor, not a guest performer—a completely different role. The production adapts the long-running TV program of the same name.
