Also, on January 26 and 27, for the two day mini-concert “Your, My and Mine” held at Ilsan Kintex, a total of 16000 local and international fans attended Kim Jaejoong’s birthday concert. After the launch of his mini album, for the first time on stage, Kim Jaejoong appeared before his fans as a rock star, winning unending applause and screams of approval, and sending all who were present into swoons. Kim Jaejoong’s sexy low voice combined with high notes, and his powerful wide vocal range which can perfectly become hoarse or clear as different songs require, is his most valuable asset as a solo singer.

The 26th is Kim Jaejoong’s actual birthday, so he appeared in a giant cake on stage at the start of the fanmeet, whilst fans sang Happy Birthday. They also sang along to his OST song. This was followed by all sorts of birthday celebration activities. Kim Jaejoong has created a blissful time during this very special performance during the fanmeeting by interacting and playing games with fans in the first two parts of the concert/fanmeet.
