Hundreds of fans lined the streets outside Central Park early Wednesday morning to watch YEONJUN of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) make his solo debut on ABC\u2019s Good Morning America Summer Concert Series.<\/p>\n

Shortly after midnight, the streets leading up to Fifth Avenue and East 72nd Street were already packed with TXT fans, known as MOA, clutching lightsticks and waiting for a glimpse of the K-pop star ahead of his dawn performance. YEONJUN is now the second K-pop solo artist to perform as part of the summer concert series after JungKook of BTS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This milestone was cemented after he debuted as a solo artist in November with NO LABELS: PART 01 followed by last month\u2019s release of NO LABELS: PART 02, launching his most ambitious U.S. promotional run to date with appearances across television, radio, and major music festivals. The new album also hit No. 16 on the Billboard 200 while reaching No. 1 on the World Albums chart and No. 4 on Top Album Sales.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart two feels a lot more natural and unfiltered than part one, so I wanted to show another side of myself,\u201d YEONJUN said during the broadcast.\n<\/p>\n

Opening with \u201cVanilla,\u201d YEONJUN took the stage wearing Miu Miu\u2019s first-ever custom menswear look. Fans waved lightsticks, signs and photocards while cheering throughout the performance. Homemade signs reading \u201cYEONJUN, your shine lights me,\u201d \u201cLatinas 4 YEONJUN\u201d and \u201cYEONJUN, can I be the mint to your chocolate?\u201d played off the dessert theme of his latest album. This was followed by \u201cIce Cream,\u201d \u201cTalk to You,\u201d and off-camera, \u201cGGUM.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, I\u2019m so grateful, and I really enjoy that they all dance and do my challenge and enjoy my song,\u201d YEONJUN said. \u201cI\u2019m so thankful, and I hope you guys enjoyed today\u2019s performance too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of TXT for over six years. They\u2019re my favorite group ever,\u201d Park told amNewYork. \u201cI even got my mom into them, so that\u2019s why she came with me today. The concert was amazing. I can\u2019t believe it was free. Hearing him perform live, his stage presence, even from the back, you could feel it. It was crazy. I\u2019m really happy I got to see him. I love everything about TXT: their lore, their music and the chemistry they have together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Good Morning America performance is just one stop in YEONJUN\u2019s packed U.S. schedule. On Aug. 6, he performed at iHeartRadio\u2019s Z100 Summer Bash in Manhattan before heading to Los Angeles for Billboard: One Night Only and KCON LA 2026. He will then reunite with TOMORROW X TOGETHER for the group\u2019s headlining performance.<\/p>\n

Close friends Angelina Laibhen and Alyhia Santos boarded the Long Island Rail Road at 3 a.m. to secure front-row spots.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is such a trendsetter,\u201d said Laibhen, 20. \u201cHe is so talented. His voice is absolutely amazing. I love it when he raps. We didn\u2019t even know we were going to get tickets, but when we found out, we called out of work just to be here. This is my first front-row experience at a K-pop show, and it was an amazing opportunity to see YEONJUN.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a TXT fan since debut,\u201d added Santos, 21. \u201cYEONJUN is my bias. He\u2019s amazing at everything he does. He\u2019s funny, smart, an incredible singer, dancer, choreographer and songwriter.\u201d<\/p>\n

With high-profile appearances across some of the country\u2019s biggest entertainment platforms, YEONJUN is working to carve out a distinct identity beyond TOMORROW X TOGETHER.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hundreds of fans lined the streets outside Central Park early Wednesday morning to watch YEONJUN of TOMORROW X…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[12858,57817,195,913,18943,18944],"class_list":["post-112582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-korea","tag-amny-weekender","tag-central-park","tag-k-pop","tag-music","tag-txt","tag-yeonjun"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
