Fly to the Sky reunited onstage at Hwanhee’s concert ― their first full-stage moment together in six years. The night carried extra weight as Brian, who has been open about long-running vocal health challenges, stepped back into the spotlight to roaring applause.
The duo stood side by side during the Seoul stop of Hwanhee’s 2025 nationwide tour, "Two Be Continued." Hwanhee wrapped the trek ― which started in Changwon and culminated in the capital ― with back-to-back shows on Jan. 24-25 at Sejong University’s Daeyang Hall. The tour traced the arc of his musical life while doubling as a pulse check on where Fly to the Sky stand today.
Across the run, Hwanhee moved fluidly through R&B, ballads, soul and even trot, reminding fans of his still-expansive vocal range. The Seoul finale leaned into the power of shared history. On the 24th, Bada of S.E.S joined as a special guest. On the 25th, Lyn took the stage, belting "My Destiny" and "Back in Time" and instantly commanding the room ― her vocals dialed the emotion to a peak and left Hwanhee’s concert with a graceful afterglow.
The moment that drew the biggest cheers on both nights belonged to Brian. Performing Fly to the Sky classics together, Brian and Hwanhee delivered more than a guest set; it felt like a living snapshot of two voices that defined an era ― and the friendship behind them.
Brian’s appearance carried special meaning. In recent broadcasts and interviews, he’s candidly shared that his vocal condition had worsened over time and that he’d been grappling with psychosomatic factors and performance anxiety. Appearing with Hwanhee on MBC’s variety show "Radio Star" last April, he admitted, “My vocal control weakened, my pitch started to waver, and fear crept into singing,” acknowledging the growing mental burden.
Hwanhee offered steady support: “Brian’s always had incredible tools as a vocalist. Hearing him speak, you’d never think there’s an issue ― it feels like his heart took the hit first.” Brian added that working with a vocal coach helped him recognize just how much the mind can impact the voice.
He echoed that sentiment on Super Junior DongHae and EunHyuk's YouTube channel, confessing there are moments when singing feels stressful, “like my brain is signaling, ‘You can’t do it.’” Still, he made it clear the stage is where he belongs: once his mindset and throat felt right, he wanted to return.
"Two Be Continued" wasn’t just a trip down memory lane; it reaffirmed Hwanhee as a vocalist still evolving ― and proved the name Fly to the Sky still resonates. Following the tour, Hwanhee plans to keep the momentum going with new music and more live stages.
