Taehyung Kim, Ji Ha-yong's 'Cruffin' last street performance in Hongdae
At the performance held at Hongdae Festival Street in Seoul at 8 pm on the 17th, Ji Ji-yong's live performance and Kim Tae-hyung's stage manners exploded despite the cold.
During the street performance, the audience was moved to tears after hearing Cruffin's song. MC Dingdong, who was in charge of the emcee, was embarrassed by the audience's tears, and after the song ended, he pointed to the audience member who was crying and said, "Mr. Hayong, please come and hug me tightly." Ji Ji-yong wittily responded, "There's a boyfriend next to me...." He answered, causing laughter from those around him.
In particular, MC Dingdong's extraordinary popularity also attracted attention. Dingdong, who signed autographs and took pictures, was called “Dingdong-hyung!!” in Hongdae. In this way, Ding Dong showed off the best performance and proved that they are a unique class with a deeply moving street performance filled with tears and laughter on a cold winter night.
Foreigners passing by on the streets of Hongdae also applauded Cruffin's live skills. Taehyung Kim's long-standing broadcasting manners also stood out. He became a hot topic by leading Ji Ji-yong with his skillful stage manners. He gave an unforgettable gift to his fans through his manner of performing live and communicating directly with the audience, which is not usually seen in busking.
The more they performed on the streets, the more confident they became in performing live, and even in the cold weather, they showed off their accurate pitches, eliciting exclamations of admiration. Cruffin drew cheers with a classy street performance with 'real concert manners', running and turning, encouraging the audience, and encouraging the audience to sing along to the chorus.
In addition, the agency's actors Ryu Je-hyeon, Park Tae-jun, and Cho Seung-hyun, senior vice chairman of the National Communication Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea, watched the performance from beginning to end and cheered on Cruffin.
Vice Chairman Cho Seung-hyeon said, "After the Hongdae performance was approved, I watched the operation method that repeatedly emphasized safety and remained vigilant in preparation for any unexpected accidents, and I thought about the direct meeting between the public and singers called 'street performance' once more." He expressed his feelings.
He then said, “I hope that by bringing this passion to the sun, it will continue to be an energetic stage where many people gain courage and inspiration from people,” and cheered for Cruffin along with the actors, clapping throughout the performance.
Cruffin, who received support from his colleagues, performed the most songs in this free street performance. Cruffin, who showed off his singing ability with a personal song, proved that he is a definite 'live singer' and showed off fantastic harmony with a total of three duet songs.
In this way, Cruffin is growing further as it meets the public on the streets. Cruffin's free performance was even more heartwarming as it included the intention to donate the proceeds from the music to the briquette bank.
Meanwhile, after wrapping up the Hongdae concert as the last free concert, Cruffin will begin preparations for recording a new album and will return with songs aimed at the summer.
