[08.09.07][news] Andy decorates his solo concert with "love and passion"

Singer Andy held his solo concert, "Shall We Love?" on 7 Sept at 6pm at Dom Art Hall in Seoul. At the concert, he showed the audience his romantic side, and drove more than 1,000 fans wild with his performance.

Opening the concert with Propose from his 1st solo album, he went on to perform for more than 2 hours. His concert repertoire stretched across genres as he performed 20 songs including ballads, rock and dance songs.

Andy, with his trademark cheerful disposition, turned the concert into a meeting with his fans-turned-friends of 10 years. In the midst of the performance he got everyone singing along when he asked, "Does everyone know this song? Let's sing along!" Moments later when he was dancing in a rather loose outfit, he said "The clothes are too big, I look like An-choding, don't I?" (note: Choding - schoolkid)

Andy also performed Position's I Love You, Toy's I'm Briefly By Your Side amongst other songs.

The cast of Polaroid was also brought on stage and introduced to the audience, after which they performed Andy's songs from his musicals, If You Love Her Let Her Go, Music In My Heart and Love Triangle. It was clear that all of them shared a close friendship with Andy.

At the pre-concert press conference, Andy said "I've prepared a heartwarming event for the concert." This event that Andy was referring to was when Andy picked a lucky fan to go onstage, where he "proposed" to her, much to the jealousy of the other fans.





Fellow Shinhwa member Lee Minwoo turned up as the special guest for the evening to cheer Andy on. Lee Minwoo said, "The songs that I write for the Shinhwa members are all free, but I'm not upset. Why? Because I still get copyright royalties."

Chae Yeon and KCM also turned up in support of Andy and gave great performances.

After performing Aspirin by Girl, he shyly asked the fans, "How about singing rock for the title track of the 2nd album? I can't do it well though, I'm sorry about that....But a rock song as the title track seems to be a good idea."


The highlight of the performance was the encore stage. Andy walked out in a wet and sweat-drenched short-sleeved shirt, to the cheers of the fans. He performed the rock song You're Charmed By Me and also Red-Faced, then finally Shinhwa's Eusha Eusha to end off the concert.
