Jinwook kicked off his music career with the single 'Your Rain' in June, which showcased his delicate emotionality. In August, he released his first studio album 'Jinwook The New Beginning,' establishing his versatility across genres. The album features a range of tracks, including three title songs, that confirm his artistic identity. His stage presence was equally impressive. Continuous performances on music shows and stable live acts at events culminated in his first solo concert 'Sincerity' in July, which sold out all shows, reinforcing his reputation as a performance-oriented artist. Thanks to these evident achievements, Jinwook was also named in the TOP 10 of the '2025 Trot Champion Awards,' providing a meaningful indicator as the year wraps up. Now the focus shifts to 2026, anticipating how he will further expand his musical interactions with the public.

Jinwook's music style is highlighted by the diverse genre elements he presents. Particularly in his first studio album, he successfully demonstrated his wide musical spectrum through emotionally profound trot songs and energetic tracks. This will likely lead fans to anticipate a broader range of music from him. Such a distinctive musical identity will play a crucial role in solidifying Jinwook's fanbase.

Moreover, Jinwook's growth is not solely attributed to musical pressure. He showcases a deep connection with his audience through performances, conveying authenticity to fans. The sold-out tickets for his first solo concert reflect the trust and communication he has built with fans. This approach not only facilitates his growth as an artist but also contributes to his sustained presence in the music industry.

Lastly, Jinwook's placement in the TOP 10 illustrates his sincere approach to valuing communication with fans, even when he is not actively making music.
