Singer John Park held his solo concert 'BREAK!' from the 11th to the 13th at Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, where he premiered unreleased new songs for the first time. All three shows were sold out.

The concert began with John Park performing five songs in succession without any opening remarks: "Bluff," "Understand," "DND," "Back to Square One," and "Stop." He said, "I've been imagining this moment throughout the preparations, and seeing it in person is so much better. If you want to shout or sing along, please don't hesitate and just enjoy yourself to the fullest."

The title of the concert, "BREAK," reflects his intention to break out of the mold he had set for his own music. John Park explained that he had long believed he should only do "calm music," but that with this concert, he wanted to showcase a different kind of performance.

He also performed his recently released self-written song "Summer Will Return" live. This retro pop track, for which John Park participated in writing, composing, and arranging, is themed around memories of summer days.

The unreleased song "BREAK," which has no official release plans, was premiered at this concert. In addition, he arranged songs by girl groups, such as aespa's "Whiplash" and RESCENE's "Love Attack," into a full-band medley mixed with his own tracks.

The band session featured producer Hong Sojin, guitarist Hong Junho, bassist Choi Inseong, drummer Park Seongchan, keyboardists Hong Sojin and Song Seonggyeong, and Pro Tools engineer Han Mina. For his signature song "Not This," they presented a new arrangement highlighting keyboard solos and guitar and bass performances.

In the latter part of the concert, reflecting on his earlier music, John Park said, "Back then, I often felt shy, but as time goes by, I have come to love my own songs more, like precious old gems. Without you here, my stage would never be truly complete."

The concert lasted about 120 minutes. After the show, the unreleased song "BREAK" was played as the outro music, carrying on the concert's theme of breaking away from daily routines and meeting new moments by breaking free from one's own limits.
