Sung Si-kyung, who completed his outdoor concert in heavy rain, expressed his thoughts amidst attention. On the 7th, Sung Si-kyung shared his thoughts on the concert closure through his social networking service (SNS). He posted, “Thank you. I was happy,” along with the hashtag “I am a happy person, thank you.”
Sung Si-kyung held the “2024 Sung Si-kyung’s Farewell Concert” at the outdoor theater of Yonsei University in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul from the 4th to the 6th. The concert on the 4th was held under clear skies, but the issue was Children’s Day and the substitute holiday on the 6th. Heavy rain poured across the country from morning, leading to the cancellation of some festivals and concerts.
However, Sung Si-kyung decided to proceed with the concert as planned. He announced a full refund for the audience members who did not show up. It was reported that he chose to proceed with the concert rather than canceling it, considering the hard work and efforts of the staff who had prepared for several months.
Sung Si-kyung explained, “I really, really, really dislike making the audience get wet. I couldn’t unilaterally cancel, and after much deliberation, I made a decision.” He added, “Only those who want to come should come. Be sure to dress warmly and prepare for waterproofing. We will refund those who do not come. Let’s meet next time when the weather is good.”
Audiences who attended the concert generally expressed satisfaction. In the photos Sung Si-kyung shared, it is hard to find vacant seats as the audience crowded in tightly. Heartwarming reviews follow, saying, “Thanks to the audience armed with colorful raincoats and Sung Si-kyung, who did their best, it became an unforgettable memory.”
