He expressed deep regret for the confusion caused to his fans.
He aims to resume performances in February next year while preparing alternative events.
[TV Daily, Han Seo-yul] Singer Yoon Jong-shin has announced the cancellation of his upcoming concert due to health issues. On the 25th, he shared on social media, 'I have unfortunate news as I intended to celebrate the joyful year-end with all of you through my performance.'
He explained that he experienced sudden bronchitis and cold symptoms just six days earlier and had been receiving intensive treatment for five days. Although he attempted to perform yesterday, his vocal condition was poor, allowing him to only perform for about two hours. Consequently, he decided to cancel the remaining concert schedule, expressing regret for the confusion caused to fans who were looking forward to the event.
Yoon has mentioned preparing alternative events such as radio broadcasts and listening sessions to entertain his fans despite the live performance cancellation. Meanwhile, he was scheduled to hold the '2025 Yoon Jong-shin Concert: What Happened to Me This Year' at Yes24 Wonderbox Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, from the 24th to the 28th, but is now looking for a new venue for February next year.
Yoon Jong-shin's concert cancellation reflects how much he values his commitments to fans. Particularly, facing health issues that hinder communication with fans during significant moments in life must weigh heavily on him as an artist. His earnest attitude toward maintaining relations with his audience further elevates the respect he garners.
Stopping a performance due to health concerns requires considerable courage for an artist, as it opens a path for discussions with fans about understanding. This decision enables Yoon to explore ways to strengthen his bond with fans during a challenging period.
His alternative formats, including radio broadcasts and listening sessions, are anticipated to provide fans with a unique experience. These new concert formats offer opportunities for artists to communicate their music in various ways, contributing to reducing the distance between them and their audience.
