Singer Hwang Young-woong showcased a unique presence amidst generous praise from a senior singer.

In the "2025 Concert 'Oppa is Back' Behind-the-scenes Part 1" video recently released via the official YouTube channel "Hwang Young-woong Tv," the vivid scenes behind the stage of the Seoul performance and heartfelt encouragement from a senior singer are drawing much attention.

Jo Duck-bae began by saying about Hwang Young-woong, "There is always a reason why the public loves a certain singer". Specifically regarding Hwang's voice, he offered rare high praise, saying, "To use professional terms, it sticks perfectly to my ears. The voice is truly charming".

Jo Duck-bae did not stop at praise but also gave warm advice for his junior. He shared his sincere wish for Hwang to be a long-active singer with his fans, saying, "Being a singer is simple. You must sing well, know how to be loved, and know how to give back the love you receive".

This concert held extra special meaning as it was the first time for a Trot singer to perform at the Yonsei University Open-air Theater. Fans sent a warm round of applause for his growth, saying, "I'm so moved that our singer is performing at the open-air theater" and "He came back as a real man".

Despite suffering from body aches on the day of the performance, Hwang Young-woong showed more concern for the fans waiting outside than for himself. He touched fans' hearts with his caring "Oppa" side, advising them to "dress warmly since the weather is cold" and reminding them to wear masks.

Meanwhile, having successfully completed the Seoul performance, Hwang Young-woong promised continued meetings with fans by announcing a "Autumn Concert" where he will return with deeper emotions.
