Fanicon, operated by Japan's THECOO Inc., is a membership-based fan community platform offering features like live broadcasts, group chats, and one-on-one messaging. It currently hosts over 3,200 artist teams, with a growing number of Korean wave artists joining the platform.
Through this collaboration, ILHOON aims to establish a communication channel with fans in Korea, Japan, and beyond. Unlike traditional social media, Fanicon's membership structure allows for more intimate fan interactions.
This launch follows ILHOON's recent return to the spotlight. On the 4th, he successfully concluded his solo concert 'MAEDUP,' where VIP pre-sale tickets sold out. The concert featured live performances of re-arranged existing songs with a band and the debut of an unreleased track, receiving positive feedback.
Reflecting on the concert, ILHOON shared, "I am delighted that the theme of 'MAEDUP' resonated well with the audience. I hope it remains a joyful experience for all my fans."
ILHOON continues to be active in music, having launched a new collaboration project 'RGB SGNL' this year, promising future collaborations with various artists. His agency, Carpenters Art Republic, has announced plans for sequential follow-up collaborations.
