TXT Yeonjun opens U.S. run at GMA's Central Park Summer Concert Series, second Korean solo act ever

Yeonjun (연준) of TOMORROW X TOGETHER stepped onto the Central Park stage for ABC's Good Morning America Summer Concert Series on August 5 (local time), kicking off a packed stretch of U.S. engagements.

He opened with Vanilla, a track from his second mini-album NO LABELS: PART 02. Then Ice Cream, the title track. Talk to You came next. He closed on GGUM, pulled from his first solo mixtape.

Yeonjun is only the second Korean solo artist to perform at the Summer Concert Series, following BTS's Jungkook in 2023. Luxury house Miu Miu custom-built his stage costume for the show—the first time the brand has done that for a Korean male artist.

Also on August 5, Yeonjun appeared at the public radio event 'SiriusXM K-POP PRESENTS YEONJUN' for an interview and performance. On August 6, he performs at Z100's outdoor concert 'Z100 Summer Bash Presented By Wells Fargo' as the first Korean artist ever invited to that event.

August 12 brings a solo set at Billboard's special live 'Billboard: One Night Only.' August 13, he throws the ceremonial first pitch at the LA Dodgers' home stadium, then performs at 'Korean Heritage Night' at Dodger Stadium the same day.

"I was happy to perform on stage while feeling the heat of the audience that filled Central Park," Yeonjun said. "Thanks to the big cheers, I was able to enjoy it fully."
