Singer Hwang Young-woong is back after a three-year hiatus.

Hwang Young-woong took the stage of the 54th Gangjin Celadon Festival held in Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do on the 28th.

The performance was Hwang Young-woong's first official event in three years, and the scene was crowded with fans and county residents from all over the country. In particular, more than 10,000 spectators gathered, and the venue was filled without a moment to step on, and nearby parking lots were quickly saturated, realizing his unwavering popularity and enthusiasm, with fans moving to the first and second parking lots.

Hwang Young-woong, who is about to return to the stage, is said to have been more focused on practice than ever. Since it was an official stage in three years, it was said that rehearsals and inspections were repeated until the night before the performance to increase the completeness, and that it went through a special process to stay up all night with open eyes while immersed in preparation.

Hwang Young-woong, who opened with his first song "Hate Love," thanked the audience of more than 10,000 people during the performance. "I didn't know this day would come again," he said, expressing his overwhelming feelings and then pledging to "start one step at a time."

"The moment I've dreamed of the most for the past three years when I've been away from the stage is right now," he said, adding, "I think I've come a long way before I can hold the microphone again and make eye contact with you." I would like to bow down to the fans who have not forgotten to wait and to the people of Gangjin County who gave me a precious opportunity," he said.

On this day, he sang his new song "Oppa Is Back," "Hot Goodbye," and "Night Fog." In particular, he added the meaning of the return stage, explaining that "hot goodbye" is not a farewell greeting, but a hot greeting that announces the start again.

In addition, he said, "The past three years have made me harder, like a celadon who withstands the harsh fire and makes a brilliant sound," comparing to Gangjin's celadon, adding, "It was like a warm spring breeze for me after a long winter of Gangjin's clear air and affection."

The highlight of the performance was the final closing remarks just before the encore stage. Hwang Young-woong said, "It was the para that kept me standing up again during the time I was lost and wanderingIt was the faith of the Isis family," he said, giving credit to the fans. He then said, "In the future, I will practice donation and sharing and become a singer that you can be proud of."

In particular, starting with this return stage, he has also taken practical steps to contribute to society. He thanked the community for embracing him by donating some of his performance fees through the Gangjin-gun "Hometown Love Donation System."

An event official said, "Fans' interest in Hwang's return stage was much hotter than expected," adding, "The sincere stage manners and singing skills further heightened the atmosphere of the festival."

Meanwhile, Hwang Young-woong appeared on the MBN trot contest program "The Burning Trotman" in 2022. At that time, Hwang Young-woong was greatly loved as he emerged as a strong favorite. However, during the broadcast, suspicions arose such as school violence, assault and injury convictions, and dating violence, and voluntarily dropped out of the program.

Recently, there have been positions on suspicions related to this. Hwang Young-woong's agency Golden Voice said in an official statement last month, "Many of the allegations circulated so far are maliciously edited or unilateral allegations that have not been confirmed," adding, "Hwang Young-woong clearly states that he did not continue to harass certain people or engage in sadistic acts as reported, even if there was a quarrel or wandering between his friends during his school days."

"In the meantime, Hwang Young-woong has looked back on himself with time for self-reflection, but he decided that he could no longer let reckless false facts solidify as if they were true," he said. "Now, I will not hide and proudly reveal the truth, restore my reputation as a singer and do my best to prevent such unfair cases from occurring again."
