For the Reverso Tour Park Jung Min showed the
three facets of his artistic personality he has developed
till now. Before he entered the stage in Dortmund,
the piano player Choi Min Soo sparked the fans with
classical music turned into great acoustic pop songs.
hen the concert consisted of three diferent parts, irst
Romeo took the stage, followed by Park Jung Min and as
encore the fans got a throwback to the time when he was
making music with SS501.
During the slightly more than 1 ½ hours
he performed his Korean singles “Not Alone” and
“Beautiful” and his Japanese releases “Give Me Your
Heart” and “Tonight’s the Night”. Among the 15 songs
in total was also an OST song that hasn’t even been
released yet. he gathered fans, around half of them
not from Germany, not only got to see a great show and
to listen to a remarkable live voice, but they were also
gited with some unexpected fan service. Park Jung Min
made sure to interact with the audience and so he asked
them more than once to teach him German words he
used immediately to talk with the fans.
How grown and professional of an artist Park
Jung Min is he got to show thanks to the mess the
technicians made during the concert. Although the
wrong background music or wrong video started and
he got interrupted in his conversation with the fans by
music that started too early, he never lost his charm and
found back into the show as soon as he started singing.
When he made it clear, still very politely, how the chaos
with the technic annoyed him, he showed one more
thing: As an artist he knows his worth exactly and he
knows what he wants. his is one of his strong points,
because knowing what you want leads to ending up
where you belong. And Park Jung Min belongs to the
top among the Korean artists of today.
