[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Singer Jeong Dong-won brightened up this year's Christmas.

Jeong Dong-won held the concert 'Seongtan Chongdongwon' at Seongnam Arts Center Opera House on December 24-25.

On this day, Jeong Dong-won opened the show brilliantly by singing "Mulmangcho," the double title track of his first full-length album "Longing, The Giving Tree."

Jeong Dong-won, who showcased a more mature voice with Kim Kwang-seok's "With a Heart That Must Forget," said, "Christmas is a very special day to eat cake and give gifts with loved ones. I also wanted to spend Christmas with our Wooju Chongdongwon, so I prepared this concert."

He continued, "I'm not Santa, but I prepared the performance as a Christmas fairy. I hope it will be a wonderful gift-like time. Your applause is a great strength and a gift, so please enjoy the show and send your love with applause rather than shouts and cheers."

Jeong Dong-won performed various songs including album tracks such as "Goodbye My Love," "Our Neighborhood," "Far Future," "Yuksiryeong," "Grandfather's Saxophone," and "I Will Call You," as well as recent releases like the OST "Hidden Road" from the drama "Gentleman and Lady" and "Hyehwa-dong" showcased on "Love Call Center."

Following his previous fairy tale concert, Jeong Dong-won warmed fans' hearts by reading their stories and singing songs that matched their sentiments.

He also showed his growth as an artist with a saxophone performance. Selecting Kenny G's "Loving You," Jeong Dong-won received applause for his immersive playing.

Jeong Dong-won displayed special charm through a dance medley featuring Kai's "Mmmh," BTS's "Mic Drop," and Jeon So-mi's "DUMB DUMB." He shared behind-the-scenes humor, saying, "While learning 'DUMB DUMB,' I thought, 'Something is wrong with this,'" which brought laughter.

Additionally, he performed a carol medley with "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and "Last Christmas." At the end, he had a photo time with the audience, capturing memories of his first Christmas concert.

Jeong Dong-won showcased deep emotion with songs like "The Acrobat's First Love," "Blank Space," and "Who is Crying," as well as his unsurpassed vocal skills. For the encore, he presented a lively charm with "The Best in My Heart."

Meanwhile, Jeong Dong-won will hold his youngest solo concert, the "1st Jeong Dong-won Eumhakhoe 音學會," at the Seoul Sejong Center Grand Theater on January 15-16, with all tickets sold out.
