What would it look like if a singer became his own fan for a day? Jang Min-ho transformed into a 'rookie Mint' in a concert VCR, and his 'A Day of Jang Mint,' in which he personally experienced fandom culture, continues to bring laughter and emotion to fans even as time passes.

'A Day of Jang Mint,' a special feature of the 'Hosijeol 9.11MHz' Seoul concert

'A Day of Jang Mint' is a concert video released as a special feature of Jang Min-ho's 'Hosijeol 9.11MHz' Seoul concert. In it, Jang Min-ho becomes a member of his own fandom, 'Mint,' comically portraying his journey into the world of so-called fan activities.

In the video, Jang Min-ho appears as a 'rookie Mint,' browsing merchandise and experiencing one by one the various cultural activities fans enjoy. The very sight of Jang Min-ho imitating actions that actual fans would find familiar draws laughter.

Notably, he naturally pulled off the so-called 'photocard etiquette shot,' in which fans photograph beloved photos or photocards alongside food or drinks, revealing that he had closely observed fandom culture. The fact that it went beyond mere comedic framing made fans' reactions all the more enthusiastic.

A singer through fans' eyes... bridging the distance between fan and singer

The format, in which the singer views himself from his fans' perspective and personally experiences how fans enjoy concerts and music, is credited with narrowing the distance between fans and the singer.

One fan responded, 'Even though I saw it at the concert, it's still so fun to watch again. I'll look forward to corner videos like a mini-drama inside the concert every time.' Another fan laughed at Jang Min-ho's deadpan acting, saying, 'It's so cute how awkward and tentative he looks, just like a real rookie Mint.'

Comments welcoming Jang Min-ho as if greeting a newly joined member of the actual fandom continued, such as 'Welcome, rookie Mint. Let's cheer happily together,' 'Rookie Jang Mint in his first month of fandom life is so funny,' and 'The senior Mints gave him lots of precious merch.'

'He knows Min-ho Special Forces well'... delight at his understanding of fandom culture

Many voices also expressed delight at Jang Min-ho's understanding of fandom culture. One fan said, 'How does he know Min-ho Special Forces so well?' while another remarked, 'To think he was watching everything we do,' singling out the 'photocard etiquette shot' scene as especially amusing.

With reactions adding up, such as 'I feel the emotion of that time all over again,' 'I'm waiting for the next concert,' and 'No matter how many times I watch it, I want to see it again,' the video has become a medium for revisiting memories of the concert.

Five months on, still 'I miss the Seoul concert'... the secret of its appeal

The fun of 'A Day of Jang Mint' ultimately comes from the way Jang Min-ho looks at his fans. By flipping the familiar relationship of singer on stage and fans in the audience, and having the singer step into the fandom himself, he cheerfully recreated the ways fans have long sent him their love and support.

Laughter erupts first at the comedic character of 'rookie Mint Jang Mint,' but after watching the video to the end, a message remains: he, too, had been carefully watching the hearts fans have sent him for so long. That is why, even five months later, fans keep returning to the video and saying, 'I miss the Seoul concert.'
