Singer Jang Han Byul is proving his fervent fan support through the ultra-fast sellout of his debut solo concert 'THE STAR IS BORN' and his leading run in the Netizen Awards. Critics say the commanding presence he demonstrated on stage through vocals alone translated into explosive enthusiasm from the audience, marking another meaningful milestone.

■ Proactive Blocking of Scalping Damage... One Additional Show on November 1 at 3 PM

Jang Han Byul's debut solo concert 'THE STAR IS BORN' proved its formidable ticket power when the originally scheduled shows sold out completely just two minutes after ticket sales opened.

However, immediately after sales opened, signs of overheating emerged, with high-priced scalped tickets trading for around 900,000 won—far above face value—mainly on secondhand trading platforms. To prevent unfair harm to audiences and embrace more fans who missed out, his agency and Jang Han Byul made the swift decision to hold one additional show on November 1 at 3 PM.

As a result, the concert has expanded to three total shows, adding to the originally scheduled performances on October 31 at 1 PM and 6 PM. Rather than simply adding a show, the move reflects the artist's determination to proactively prevent the economic and psychological damage fans could suffer from scalping, while meeting more audiences.

■ Trust Built Through Broadcast Competitions, Proven on Stage

Behind this ticket competition lies solid trust in the skills Jang Han Byul has accumulated through his performances. After reaching the final TOP 3 on MBN's 'Unknown Legend' and winning the trophy on KBS2's 'Immortal Songs,' demonstrating both popular appeal and vocal ability, he will showcase his further evolved musical capabilities through this concert.

He is meticulously preparing a setlist spanning ballads, trot, and pop genres based on a full live band sound, as well as unreleased special stages that can only be seen live and a space for connection with his official fandom 'Eunhasu' (Milky Way).

■ 1st in Netizen Awards, 2nd in Globe Netizen Awards... Leading Both Major Races

The hot interest in the concert is also fully evident in the October Netizen Awards. Jang Han Byul currently ranks 1st in the Netizen Awards Neostar category, leading the race. It is noteworthy that with his first solo concert selling out in just two minutes and an additional show decided, he has also claimed the highest position in the Netizen Awards. Fan enthusiasm filling the concert hall and support shown in online awards are continuing simultaneously.

In particular, the cohesion shown by Jang Han Byul's fandom 'Eunhasu' is also drawing attention. From the desire to attend the performance in person to continued online interest, fans' support for Jang Han Byul is appearing in various forms.

This trend is not limited to domestic stages. In the Globe Netizen Awards, which began beta voting this month, Jang Han Byul ranks 2nd in the Neostar category, competing in the leading group. It is meaningful as a new arena where one can observe how fan sentiment formed domestically extends to a broader stage, and where the scalability of interest in the artist remains open to global fans' participation.

Jang Han Byul's current position is even more intriguing. 1st in the October Netizen Awards Neostar category, and 2nd in the Globe Netizen Awards Neostar category. Leading the domestic awards while rising to just below the top on the newly launched global stage, he is forming top-tier positions in both races. In particular, since the Globe Netizen Awards is still in its beta voting stage, his current 2nd place makes the future competition for the lead even more compelling. This is why attention is focused on whether the enthusiasm of fan support already running 1st in the Netizen Awards will extend to the Globe stage.

■ Eyes on the Trend 'Eunhasu' Will Create in the Remaining Days of October

The concert is also expected to be an important turning point for Jang Han Byul. While he made his skills known through broadcast competitions, in 'THE STAR IS BORN' he will lead an entire concert under his own name, fully showcasing the musical world of singer Jang Han Byul.

The two-minute sellout of his first solo concert, the decision to add a show, 1st place in the Netizen Awards Neostar category, and 2nd place in the Globe Netizen Awards Neostar category. Though each of these records was made on different stages, at their center are the fans waiting for and supporting Jang Han Byul's songs.

As vocal ability built on stage translates into ticket power, and enthusiasm for the concert hall expands back into online fan sentiment, all eyes are on whether he will maintain his current 1st place in the Netizen Awards, and whether a move toward the next step will appear in the Globe Netizen Awards, focusing on the trend 'Eunhasu' will create in the remaining days of October.
