Kim Jaehwan busks on Han River with Jang Hye-jin and Soran ahead of first post-discharge concert
Kim Jaehwan performed duets on JTBC's 'Begin Again Open Mic' on Oct. 11, just four days after releasing his single 'Love, From Here'.
Nodeul Island, three duet partners, one new single
Kim Jaehwan took the outdoor stage at Nodeul Island Water Culture Space in Seoul for JTBC's Begin Again Open Mic on October 11. Four days earlier, he'd dropped his single Love, From Here.
The title track, 사랑이라 부를지도 모를 거야, came from him. He wrote it, co-wrote the lyrics, and played guitar. HYNN praised the work: "the lyrics are really good." Go Young-bae chimed in: "I think you wrote the song really well."
The busking set was built around duets. Kim Jaehwan performed Park Hyo-shin's 친구라는 건 (Feat. 김범수) with Go Young-bae, then took on 술이 문제야 alongside veteran vocalist Jang Hye-jin. After that, Jang Hye-jin told him: "You did so well. It was nice to duet with such a clean voice."
Kim Jaehwan kept his reflection brief: "I think we made unforgettable memories. I hope everyone was happy."
Seoul in October, Taipei in November
The Han River appearance is a warm-up. His first solo concert since military discharge—2026 Kim Jaehwan Concert [여백:餘白]—runs October 31 and November 1 at Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall in Seoul, then moves to Legacy TERA in Taipei on November 29.
Kim Jaehwan debuted through Mnet's Produce 101 Season 2 in August 2017 as part of Wanna One, then launched his solo career in May 2019 after the project wrapped.
