Saram Entertainment announced, "Uhm Jung Hwa's solo concert 'Invitation,' held for the first time in 24 years in Seoul, has successfully concluded amidst the passionate enthusiasm of many attendees."
Uhm Jung Hwa's solo concert 'Invitation,' held over two days on the 9th and 10th at the Jamsil Students' Gymnasium in Seoul, comprised a setlist of about 20 songs over 150 minutes, showcasing the power of 'Queen Uhm Jung Hwa' with stages and songs that allowed audiences to feel her strength anew.
Uhm Jung Hwa started off strong with her debut song 'Eyes,' arranged with grand band sound. Dressed in a dazzling outfit adorned with white feathers, she walked around the concert venue, opening the show. Following that, she heightened the excitement with 'Sad Expectation,' and then, wearing a headset, she united the audience from the start with her hit song 'I Don't Know.'
Performing three songs in a row without a break, Uhm Jung Hwa captured the audience with the dreamy 'Watch Me Move' and 'Dreamer,' then transported them back to the 90s with 'Finding Hidden Pictures,' 'Three-Way Confrontation,' and 'Scarlet,' prompting cheers from the audience.
Meanwhile, Uhm Jung Hwa was visibly moved as she said, "It feels like a dream. Thank you to the Temptation fans who waited 24 years for me to have a solo concert again."
She added, "One of my vocal cords is still not fully recovered. I hoped to speak after surgery, but now I'm singing. Thank you. It's thanks to those who waited that I can challenge and sing again."
The second part of the concert was filled with Uhm Jung Hwa's identity as a singer. The concert's concept and her representative hit song 'Invitation' were newly arranged, filling the venue with cheers, and the hit parade of 'Betrayal of the Rose' and 'Come 2 Me' kept the audience screaming non-stop.
Raising the atmosphere with dance hit songs, Uhm Jung Hwa then switched the mood again with ballad hits 'Love Allowed Only by the Sky' and Seoul Check-in OST 'From Winter to Winter.' The audience responded beautifully by lighting up the venue with their phone flashes.
Uhm Jung Hwa's solo concert garnered attention with its lavish guest appearances. Close colleagues Kim Wan-sun, Lee Hyori, Hwasa, who connected through 'Dance Singer Troupe,' Jinusean with whom she has a strong bond since debut, and Sandara Park and HyunA, who expressed their admiration and even personally booked concert tickets, all came out to support and successfully wrap up Uhm Jung Hwa's solo concert after 24 years.
Having successfully concluded the starting point of her solo concert 'Invitation' in Seoul after 24 years, Uhm Jung Hwa will continue her concerts on the 23rd at Daegu EXCO and on the 31st at Busan BEXCO.
