Lee Joon Gi "Thank You" Asia Tour concert Singapore 2017



Overview
The Lee Joon Gi “Thank You” Asia Tour concert (often described as a fan meeting with full concert elements) took place on March 4, 2017, at the outdoor Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore, as part of the HSBC Women’s Champions music festival. This was the final stop of his Asia tour, which started in December 2016 and visited seven cities across five countries, attracting around 25,000 fans in total. It marked Lee Joon Gi’s first visit to Singapore, drawing thousands of international fans who braved the intense heat for a high-energy performance. As an actor primarily known for roles in dramas like Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, Lee showcased his singing and dancing skills, performing over 20 songs in a nearly three-hour show filled with sincerity, humor, and fan service.
Setlist and Performances
The setlist blended original tracks, covers, and drama OSTs, with dynamic dance routines backed by at least eight dancers. Highlights included upbeat openings, interactive segments, and tributes to fans. While not every review provided a full setlist, compiled from fan cams and reports, it included:
- Opening Segment: “Lost Frame,” “Born Again,” “Bring Da Beat” – High-energy start with impressive choreography, setting a concert-like vibe.
- Original Songs: “One Word” (2006 remix, upbeat version), “Thank You,” “Ma Lady,” “Now,” “J Style.”
- Covers and Tributes: Big Bang medley (“Fantastic Baby,” “Good Boy,” “Bang Bang Bang”), Twice’s “TT” (with cute dance moves), Psy’s “Gangnam Style” (rebranded as “Oppa, Joon Gi Style”), Mayday’s “知足” (in Mandarin, with humorous off-pitch moments), Justin Timberlake’s “Sexy Back,” Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours,” and a customized “Our Singapore” as a local shoutout.
- Drama Tie-Ins: “For You” (OST from Scarlet Heart Ryeo), performed with MV clips playing in the background, evoking cheers and nostalgia.
- Special Segments: A DJ show, talk-time in mostly English (with translation for deeper messages), and an encore with “Together,” featuring water splashing and towel-tossing to fans.
Lee’s dancing was a standout, praised as professional-level for a non-idol, with moments like unbuttoning his shirt or pouring water over himself (a “wet show”) sending the crowd into a frenzy. He communicated warmly, joking and teasing fans, which added a personal touch.
Fan Reactions and Atmosphere
Fans were ecstatic, chanting “Wang So!” (from Scarlet Heart) and responding feverishly to every performance. The outdoor setting fostered camaraderie, with attendees sharing food while waiting, but the heat was a common complaint—mentioned repeatedly as challenging. Social media buzz post-event included numerous YouTube fancams shared by fans, capturing specific moments like the Big Bang covers, “TT” dance, and English speeches, reflecting high engagement and excitement. Lee himself posted on Instagram calling the night “amazing” and expressing thanks, promising a return.
Overall Impressions
This was a heartfelt, versatile showcase of Lee Joon Gi’s talents beyond acting—singing (stable, though not flawless), dancing (impressive and energetic), and hosting (humorous and engaging). Reviews emphasized his sincerity and effort, pulling off a memorable event despite vocal imperfections and the venue’s drawbacks. It wasn’t a traditional fan meet with games but felt like a mini-concert, leaving fans swooning and hoping for future indoor shows.
