Lee Jin-hyuk attended as an official guest at the pop culture festival 'Imagineland 2026,' held in Campina Grande, Paraiba State, Brazil, on the 26th and 27th of last month.

The reaction was intense from the very start of the stage. Lee Jin-hyuk performed his solo debut track 'I Like That' along with 'Good Boys,' 'On Your Head,' and 'HATI-HATI' in succession, connecting with the audience. In a K-pop program held prior to the concert, the stage for 'MOVE,' which he participated in during his appearance on Mnet's 'Produce X 101,' was presented, further heightening the expectations of fans who have long remembered Lee Jin-hyuk's music.

In particular, Lee Jin-hyuk premiered his new songs 'Noite Queima' and 'Fuego,' specially prepared for Brazilian fans, locally for the first time. Despite being new tracks that the audience was hearing for the first time, group singing erupted from the seats, and requests for three consecutive encores followed after the concert ended. Responding to the enthusiastic response of the fans, Lee Jin-hyuk continued the stage, completing his first Brazilian concert with even greater heat.

Lee Jin-hyuk shared his impressions, saying, "It was my first visit to Brazil, and as soon as I stepped on stage, you gave me much more love and support than I had imagined, which truly overwhelmed me. Although the language and where we live are different, seeing everyone sing together and jump to the same rhythm the moment the music started made me feel a deep connection." He added, "Everyone I met in Brazil welcomed me kindly and warmly, and their passionate energy and enthusiasm became a great source of strength for me."

He continued, "Thanks to that passion, I think I was able to sing more freely and sincerely on stage. I will long remember the love you showed for 'Noite Queima,' which I prepared thinking of Brazilian fans." He added, "I definitely want to meet again someday. I hope this encounter is not an end, but a special beginning that allows us to continue together in the future."

The song 'Noite Queima,' scheduled for release on the 4th, is based on the Brazilian funk genre, with the title carrying the meaning of "This night burns." It incorporates a message to dance together all night over the passionate colors and rhythms of Brazil. Lee Jin-hyuk co-wrote the lyrics with Larissa and co-composed the music with flow blow, also directly participating in the arrangement to capture local sensibilities alongside his own musical color.

Following this, 'Fuego,' scheduled for release on November 1, is a Spanish-style K-pop track featuring powerful drum beats. By presenting 'Noite Queima,' which contains the rhythm of Brazilian funk, and 'Fuego,' which leads with a Spanish mood, side by side at his first Brazilian stage, Lee Jin-hyuk demonstrated a broad musical spectrum and potential for global stages.

Not only the concert but also the scenes where he met fans directly were filled with heat. Long queues formed for those wanting to meet Lee Jin-hyuk at the fan meeting and fan signing event, and local fans welcomed his first visit with enthusiastic cheers and support even after the performance. Local media also took note of the fact that Lee Jin-hyuk prepared a special stage for his first Brazilian concert and premiered two new songs locally for the first time.
