Singer Shin Seungtae held his exclusive concert "With Shin (辛)" at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. on the 30th of last month at the Mapo Art Center Art Hall Mac in Seoul.


Shin Seungtae opened the concert with “Hoeshimgok,” performed in sync with samulnori rhythms. He then played the kkwaenggwari (Korean small gong) while singing “Nebaekja,” followed by performances of “Evidence,” “Love Fire,” “Rainwater,” “Life,” and more.


The stage showcased a blend of Korean traditional music and trot. He presented a “Highway Medley” (“Live in Style,” “Heart with a Hole”), a “Folk Song Medley” (“Flower Song,” “Katuli Song,” “Moon Song”), and a “Trot Medley” (“Hateful Man,” “Life Like Driftwood,” “Jjanjjara,” “The Boat Is Coming In”), in succession. During the middle of the concert, a video parodying advertisements was played, bringing laughter to the audience.


There was also a segment for conversation with the audience. In the first session, he performed “It’s Love,” “Irretrievable Time,” and “I Am a Gentleman”; in the second session, he sang “Truly,” “Fateful Encounter,” and “Bow of Sokcho Port.” In addition, he performed “Moran,” “Father,” “What the Wind Does,” “Huigyeong-dong Blues,” “A School Dog Recites Poetry After Three Years,” and “Health Is the Best.”
