Korean singer and actor Hwanhee has successfully wrapped up his first solo concert in Japan, according to a press release by his agency BOF Entertainment on Thursday.

The concert, titled "HWANHEE presents-LOVE in Christmas", was held at Tokyo's JCB Hall on December 23 and attended by some 2,000 fans.

Hwanhee performed tracks from his recent solo album as well as past hits including "Even Though My Heart Breaks" and "My Person", which were featured as soundtracks for Korean TV dramas. The singer also talked about his new contract with agency BOF and his aspirations for acting during the concert.

The 27-year-old star, who debuted as a member of pop duo Fly to the Sky in 2003, released his first solo album "H Soul" in October. He also pursued an acting career, making his first appearance in 2006 MBC mini-series "Over the Rainbow".

The singer is set to start promoting his new single "Bring It Back".
