Kim Jong-hyun, formerly of NU'EST, has completed his mandatory military service and signaled a fresh start.
On March 22, Kim announced his discharge, and the next day, March 23, he greeted fans through an official YouTube live.
Fresh out of service, he first thanked fans who waited through the long hiatus, effectively firing the starting shot for his full-fledged return. Meeting fans for the first time in a while, Kim filled the moment with a straightforward, heartfelt message.
On the 25th, he raised anticipation by unveiling the poster for his fan meeting 'COMING HOME'. In the released images, Kim captures a deeper, more mature vibe, symbolizing a new beginning ahead. The title 'COMING HOME' directly conveys that he is returning to his fans.
The fan meeting will be held three times: 6 p.m. on April 25, and 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on April 26, at NOL theater Hapjeong, Dongyang Life Hall. As this marks his first reunion with Korean fans in about one year and eight months, the event promises a denser experience with a mix of performances, talk segments, and various interactive corners.
Kim also plans to expand his reach beyond Korea to global fans. Starting with the domestic shows, this fan meeting will lead into an Asia tour, with detailed schedules to be announced later.
