When the second one comes four years later
The first solo concert was June 2022; the second is September 2026. A four-year gap.
A second show differs in kind from a first. A first proves it can be done; a second answers whether it will continue.
A long gap sharpens that question. For someone who plays every year it's an annual fixture, but four years apart means a separate decision to do it again happened somewhere in between.
As Han Ji-sang, not as a role
Han Ji-sang is a musical actor. Standing on a stage is the actor's job.
A solo concert is different, though. In a musical you sing under a character's name; in a concert you sing under your own. Same stage, different standing.
That's what there is to check at an actor's concert: how a voice sounds with the role taken off, and what it can't take off.
The title being 'I'm alive'
The show is called 'I'M ALIVE' — a sentence stating that one is living.
It's an obvious thing to say. Anyone standing on a stage is alive. Make the obvious into a title and it becomes emphasis.
Set the four-year gap beside it and something reads. For someone who hasn't been visible and is now back, few sentences are this short and this clear.
Before you go
The shows are September 19 and 20 — nearly a month away.
SA HALL is in Hyehwa-dong, in the Daehak-ro theatre district where venues cluster. Check the exact place so you don't confuse it with a similarly named one.
Mid-September evenings in Seoul turn cool. Given when the show lets out, one light layer is about right.
My bag's already packed.
