Following the successful completion of their first-ever Asian tour by the group band Jannabi, Choi Jung-hoon left a lengthy reflection.

On the 26th, Choi posted on his personal SNS: "It was our first tour. We have just concluded it. I am now sitting in my favorite familiar café to write this. Over the past two months, we performed across seven locations in Asia. On the night before each performance, I would sit in my hotel room preparing lines in the local language, pondering what different aspects of ourselves to showcase at each show, and then fall asleep. Except for those moments on stage, that time will be the most memorable. It was filled with happiness and excitement. It was also a fulfilling period where I felt grateful to be able to prepare for performances amidst such luxury. These were times when I deeply realized that none of this would have been possible without Korea's JF, and that these seemingly ordinary things are not so ordinary at all."

He continued, "Therefore, as we conclude our first tour, I want to extend my first words of gratitude to Korea's JF. From the top of my head to the tips of my toes, every action I take is filled with gratitude. Thank you. While spending time so busily, stepping onto the stage made everything feel like a miracle and magic. In truth, each performance was preceded by worry—what if our energy didn't reach as well as it did in Korea? But the moment we started playing and that worry turned around, the joy that followed... there is no dream more vivid than that. I believe this lightning-like moment was felt not only by us on stage but also by the audience. Please hold onto that fleeting moment for a long time."

Jannabi's first Asian tour, "Sweat & Stardust," began in Taipei last June and proceeded through Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and finally Jakarta, covering seven cities across seven countries. Jannabi prepared by translating the lyrics of their performance songs into local languages, arranged special cover performances for each region, and actively engaged with fans.

Choi Jung-hoon said, "As you may have felt, we never treat any performance lightly. Just like that, our passion, akin to primordial flint, could not be subdued even by the humidity of summer. Thank you for colliding with us alongside sweat so that we could burn brightly and fully display ourselves. In Korea, Jannabi and JF have always played together in this way. We look forward to your continued support." He greeted overseas fans with these words.

He then added, "It feels like we've gained friends from various parts of the world to play with, which makes me slightly excited. But just as all this happiness isn't something I can take for granted, neither will future happiness be. I will strive even harder to continue creating more wonderful and healthy music, performances, and activities—sometimes living desperately. Jannabi always wants to be a source of strength in your lives. LOVE FOR JF! And we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped create the best possible performances under such challenging conditions. May the lessons we have gained together accumulate steadily within us... and may we confidently welcome another great moment!!" He expressed intense emotion with these words.

Meanwhile, having successfully completed their first Asian tour, Jannabi will continue the momentum by holding a concert at Seoul Olympic Park's KSPO DOME from the 23rd to 25. Following their debut solo stage at KSPO DOME last year with "All Boys and Girls 2125," they will now unfold their second story on the same stage.
