[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho is set to kick off his first solo concert 23 years after his debut. He will bring a long-cherished dream to life on stage for the first time, marking the start of a new project.

According to his agency, SM Entertainment, U-Know Yunho will hold his first solo concert, “U-KNOW PROJECT 26: SCENE#1,” for three days from the 17th to the 19th at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. This concert marks his first solo concert since his debut in 2003 and will serve as the premiere performance of his new single “Time’s Tickin’,” set for release on the 20th.
Ahead of the concert, U-KNOW Yoonho shared his thoughts, saying, “I’m holding my first solo concert 23 years after my debut. The word ‘first’ fills me with great excitement.” He added, “It’s hard to believe that the concert I’ve dreamed of for so long is finally unfolding before my eyes. Above all, I want to express my gratitude to my fans.”
This performance is designed as a narrative-driven project that goes beyond a simple concert. Based on the premise of “Young Yunho” meeting “Future Yunho,” it connects the past and present through the flow of time, and plans to weave together not only his career as a singer but also the experiences he has accumulated in musicals, dramas, and films into a single stage performance.
U-Know Yunho explained, “I’ve been planning this solo concert since my military service,” adding, “I’ve been steadily building a single narrative, from my first solo album, ‘True Colors,’ all the way to this performance.” He continued, “Although I’ve had opportunities to hold solo concerts before, I felt I needed more experience and preparation to properly tell my story,” and said, “I decided that now is the best time to present it.”

A great deal of effort was also put into the direction. “Young Yunho” appears as a central character in the show, and the production is structured so that VCR segments and live performances flow naturally together as a single narrative. Super Junior’s Shindong directed the VCRs, and aespa’s Karina contributed to the narration, enhancing the overall quality of the production.
This performance also marks the starting point for the upcoming “U-Know Yunho Project 26.” U-Know Yunho explained, “The storylines of all the albums I’ve released so far are interconnected, and ‘Shin#1’ is the performance that opens that first chapter,” adding, “Since this is a new challenge, I have high expectations for it myself.”
Finally, he expressed his gratitude to fans, saying, “I’ve been saying for a long time that I wanted to create my own show,” and added, “Since this is a project we completed after much deliberation with many people, I hope that effort and sincerity are conveyed to the audience.”
