[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Eric (Son Young-jae), formerly of the group THE BOYZ, signaled a smooth start to his solo career by selling out his first solo fan meeting in Korea. As he has expanded his scope from being the group’s youngest member to an artist who takes the stage on his own, this achievement is significant in that it reaffirms the unwavering support of his fanbase.

According to his agency, Grid Entertainment, on the 14th, all seats for both performances of Eric’s solo fan meeting, “Son Young-jae Over Flowers,” scheduled for the 14th of next month, sold out immediately after general ticket sales began at 8 p.m. the previous day on Yes24 Ticket. As this is his first solo fan meeting in Korea, it drew intense interest from fans.
“Son Young-jae, More Beautiful Than Flowers” is a show inspired by the drama “Boys Over Flowers,” which Eric has long enjoyed watching. By combining the title of this familiar work with his real name, he aims to connect with fans on an even deeper level.
The show will feature newly prepared special stages and performances that fans have been eagerly awaiting. It will also include a talk segment where Eric shares stories he hasn’t shared before, as well as audience participation events. In particular, a special segment where he expresses his feelings to fans in the form of a “proposal” is planned to add to the show’s enjoyment.
This sold-out event also lends momentum to Eric’s journey as a solo artist. Eric, who garnered attention for his outstanding dance skills during his time with THE BOYZ, has built his musical capabilities by participating in rap-making and lyric writing. He has also made a name for himself on television. As a DJ on “Idol Radio Season 4,” he won the Newcomer Award in the Radio category at last year’s “MBC Entertainment Awards.”
After signing an exclusive contract with Grid Entertainment, he has expanded his scope of activities even further. He met with international fans by holding his solo fan meeting “Eternity” in Shanghai, Beijing, and Qingdao, China, and attended Yohji Yamamoto’s Spring/Summer 2027 women’s fashion show held at Paris City Hall in France. In this way, he has established a presence not only in music and broadcasting but also in the fashion industry.
He is also diversifying his interactions with fans. From November 7 to 13, he will hold his first solo photo exhibition, “Baby Pink Letter Exhibition,” in Hannam-dong, Seoul. Following the exhibition, he plans to hold a domestic fan meeting in quick succession, aiming to build his own unique content and fanbase.
Having demonstrated his ticket-selling power by selling out his first solo domestic fan meeting, all eyes are now on what activities Eric will undertake as a solo artist in the future.
Eric’s “Son Young-jae: More Beautiful Than Flowers” will take place on the 14th of next month at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. at the Grand Theater of Donghae Culture and Arts Center, Kwangwoon University, in Nowon-gu, Seoul.
