Kim Jae-joong and Kim Joon-su successfully concluded their Incheon concert, kicking off their Asia tour.

From the 9th to the 11th, over three days, Kim Jae-joong and Kim Joon-su held "JX 2026 TOUR CONCERT <CORE (Core)>" at Inspire Arena in Incheon. Taking the stage as the unit JX for their second tour concert in just over two years since "IDENTITY" in 2024, they revealed a deepened "JX Core" through an organic repertoire and narrative that spanned the past, present, and future.

JX delivered a powerful opening with "Hey!", "The Way U Are," and "O-... (O-Jeong-Ban-Hap)," then ramped up the atmosphere by offering sweet emotions through hit songs such as "Hug," "Drive," and "Because It's Yours." Kim Jae-joong shared, "There were many moments when I was lost in memories while deciding the setlist. Each song is one that can satisfy you all, so please sing along and dance with us."

In particular, JX summoned different masterpieces from previous performances, creating a meaningful time that went beyond simply reproducing hit songs to revive the memories built with fans over a long period. Stages that fully captured the memories and emotions of that era drew group singing and enthusiastic responses from fans. After stimulating nostalgia for those days with "Found It" and "Empty," JX added to the delight by reenacting past stage direction where they faced each other in "In Heaven," which they performed for the first time in a long while. Kim Joon-su expressed his unique feelings, saying, "I was moved just looking at my hyung's face. When I listen to the music, our memories, emotions, and stories seem to come back like a panorama."

The two solidified JX's unique identity by showcasing robust live performances and stage presence through song selections that encompassed both the past and the present. They thrilled global audiences with a medley of Japanese hit songs, including "We Are!" and "Share The World," which they sang as OSTs for the anime "One Piece," along with "Wasurenaide (Don't Forget)," "Stay With Me Tonight," and "Somebody To Love." Additionally, Kim Jae-joong showed a distinct musical color with his solo stage of "Tonight," while Kim Joon-su did the same with his solo performance of "GRAVITY."

As they concluded the concert, JX conveyed their sincere feelings and a pledge for future activities, stating, "Thank you so much for making the long trip to Incheon. We will use the energy we received from you as motivation for the next concert and prepare very hard. We will continue until we have shared all the songs that only JX can perform, to the best of our ability. Until then, please stay healthy and may your homes be filled with peace."

In this way, Kim Jae-joong and Kim Joon-su did not stop at looking back on the past; they demonstrated solid synergy through the music and performances that current JX can offer, completing another legendary concert. Following "IDENTITY," this "CORE" Incheon concert also recorded sold-out tickets for all shows, proving their powerful fan base. They further heightened anticipation for JX's next chapter by promising a musical journey that will continue into the future.

JX will continue the "2026 TOUR CONCERT <CORE>" in Kobe on November 3 and 4, Macau on the 7th and 8th, Osaka on the 14th and 15th, Taipei on the 21st, and Yokohama on the 4th, 5, and 6. They plan to meet global fans with an expanded tour schedule covering major Asian cities.
