Singer-actor Enoch is set to send off 2025 in style ― and kick off 2026 on a high note.
On Dec. 31 at 9:30 p.m., Enoch will take the stage at Dongtan Art Hall inside Hwaseong Arts Center in Gyeonggi Province for a special New Year’s Eve concert, capping a banner year as a multi-hyphenate and charging into the new year.
He’ll be joined by The M.C. Orchestra ― billed as Korea’s first dedicated musical-theater orchestra ― music director Kim Moon-jung, and stage standouts Choi Jung-won, Hong Ji-min, Park Gun-hyung and Min Kyung-ah. The event doubles as a celebration of the arts center’s completion and an invitation for locals to ring in 2026 together. Expect Enoch’s powerhouse vocals and commanding presence to deliver goosebump-worthy moments.
Since his 2007 debut, Enoch has headlined major productions including "Cats," "42nd Street," "Rebecca" and "Mata Hari," cementing his place at the top of the musical-theater scene. Refusing to stay in one lane, he also broke out as a trot singer through TV competition shows.
In 2025, Enoch leaned into his reputation as a risk-taker, juggling musicals, TV gigs, a mini-album and his first namesake solo concert. On MBN’s "Korea-Japan King's Exhibition" and "Korea-Japan Top 10 Show," he showcased standout vocals and star power, and even took a brief turn hosting the long-running talk program "Dongchimi," earning praise for his approachable MC chops.
This summer, he officially stepped into the Japanese market with the digital single “More Beautiful Than a Rose”. He followed with the mini album "Mr. SWING," laying the groundwork for his next chapter as a recording artist. Enoch then mounted his first solo concert, "ENOCH," in late November, and flexed his stage prowess again in the 10th-anniversary production of "Fan Letter" in early December. Come February, he’ll headline his first solo concert in Japan.
With the New Year’s Eve show, Enoch aims to put an exclamation point on 2025 and set the tone for an even bigger 2026 ― sending fans home with year-end nostalgia and new-year excitement in equal measure.
