Ah, the New Year 2017 is already here. Jung Dong Ha had such a wonderful and such a busy year, that I wasn't even able to keep up with him on this blog properly. There were so many memorable performances by him - live concerts, TV appearances, interviews, musical roles, awards, recordings, events, meetings with fans (and I was one of the fans he met but he doesn't know it, haha).
As always, everything was meticulously preserved, and immortalized by faithful loving fans, in countless videos, audios, and more than countless pictures. Every step, every new haircut, every outfit was analyzed and commented on. Everything was distributed, and shared on the web, so that those who couldn't be at those events, could enjoy it too, and possibly some new hearts could be conquered by this wonderful singer.
Jung Dong Ha himself, appeared to be happy, and cheerful the entire year. He continues to look very youthful, despite being considered a "veteran".
This is how Dong Ha looked the last day of 2016 - on TV program "Immortal Song 2", on December 31, 2016. He is just too adorable.
Actually, the music program was recorded about a week before Christmas, and then was broadcast in two parts, on Christmas Eve, and on New Years Eve. But this is how he was seen by TV audiences December 31st.

ReplyDeleteAaah, thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. Ha, ha - happy virus! I agree. He is a happy person, but the professional photographers make him do the sulking expressions. I always prefer fan's photos to official photo shoots. Thank you for your wishes, and thank you for being Jung Dong Ha fan. I wish yo a wonderful New Year 2017 and happy year of The Roster. :) I wish I knew who you are...
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled here on a quest to find out who Jung Da Ha is because I saw him listed on Agua Caliente's performer list and I have a 'tiny' obsession with eastern asian cultures. I happen to be in Southern California as well so with the surrounding casinos and of course Los Angeles there is more access but I don't always recognize the artists.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I just wanted to say hank you for the info. I know how nice it is to get comments on things you put your heart into and I didn't want to miss sending my thanks and also to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year both US and Chinese!
Wow, Michelle. If you get a chance, I strongly recommend you go to Jung Dong Ha live concert. I saw him twice live - once in 2014 in Washington DC, and recently in August 2016, when I traveled to Seoul, and went to see the musical Notre Dame De Paris, with him as The Poet Gringoire. Both experiences were wonderful. At concerts, he is a very fun guy, chats with the audience, jokes, etc. He is a 37 yr old man, but he looks so very young and frail. But then, when he belts his voice - wow! wow! There is no doubt he is one of the best vocalists in South Korea, but somewhat underrated. Well, they have so many wonderful singers, so no wonder. But he is pretty popular due to his frequent presence on TV, and his popularity has grown in 2016.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a wonderful surprise to see someone leave a comment, but as I wrote in my introductory note, I never expected I would have visitors. This blog is really not a good source of information about this artist. It was meant to be a place where I collect my own random musings about him, to keep everything in one place.
I am in North Carolina, so I won't be coming to Agua Caliente - it's too far. But I expect at least some of his prominent fans be there, and diligently (although secretly) record some parts of the show, and post on you tube for the others to see. Can't wait. Thank you for the New Year's wishes! If you go to Jung Dong Ha's concert - have fun. I wish you to fall in love with him...:) There is just something magical about him. I expect he will sing quite a few songs in English. He always does include some standards, like "Ain't No Sunshine", "I was Born To Love You", or even Sinatra's "Take Me To The Moon". He has a bunch of his own songs as well. He includes a variety of styles in his shows, so the concert is never monotonous. Expect some rock as well.
PS. "Fly Me To The Moon" is the right title of Sinatra's son. Sorry! Too bad that I can't make corrections once the post is published.
ReplyDeleteSong! Darn it.
