J.Y. Park is set to bring a romantic, year-end vibe with a 15-piece live band at his solo concert.
Park will stage his 2025 year-end show, “Happy Hour,” Dec. 13-14 at the Grand Peace Hall at Kyung Hee University in Seoul. On Dec. 8, he hosted his first-ever Instagram Live to tease the set and chat with fans in real time.
Even on his first IG Live, Park slipped into full showman mode. “Let me introduce the band one by one,” he said, spotlighting the music director he’s worked with for 19 years and the players across piano, keyboards, guitar, drums, percussion and horns―letting fans sample each sound. He also unveiled an upright bass―a first for his concerts―then eased into a jazzy take on “FEVER (Feat. SUPERBEE, BIBI)” that instantly grabbed attention.
When he sampled Jin Sung’s “At Andong Station” and a jazz-arranged, full-band version of “When We Disco (Duet with SUNMI),” the comments lit up. Park also teased, “For the first time in 10 years, I’m planning to perform ‘Elevator’ in full―using Baekho’s remake arrangement,” sending anticipation soaring.
A bona fide living legend known for his musical chops and disciplined work ethic, Park will run through career-spanning hits powered by the lush punch of a 15-piece band―set to light up winter nights. Joining him both nights is singer-songwriter Kwon Jin-ah, his collaborator on November release “Happy Hour (With Kwon Jin-ah).” The pair will pick up acoustic guitars for a special duet, a can’t-miss moment on the set list.
J.Y. Park’s year-end “Happy Hour” plays Dec. 13-14 at the Grand Peace Hall at Kyung Hee University in Seoul.
