Shinhwa member Kim DongWan shared a heartfelt message for his fans on November 3, 2025, expressing concern for their well-being ahead of his upcoming K-pop concert series and fan camp. The veteran idol took to his social media to advise fans, known as Shinhwachangjo, to prioritize their health and safety amidst the cold weather, especially with several events scheduled throughout November.
Upcoming Fan Events: Concerts and a “Real Sleepover”
Kim DongWan is set to reconnect with his audience through his first small theater concert series in six years, titled “Ne Beonjjae Oebak” (Fourth Sleepover). The intimate performances are scheduled to take place on November 7, 9, 15, and 21, 2025. These concerts mark a significant return to the stage for the artist in a solo capacity, promising a close-up experience for attendees.
Following the concert series, Kim DongWan will host a special 2-day, 1-night fan camp from November 21-22, 2025. Titled “Jinjja Oebak” (Real Sleepover), this immersive event offers fans a unique opportunity to interact with the artist.
A Closer Look at the “Real Sleepover” Fan Camp
The “Real Sleepover” fan camp comes with a ticket price of 660,000 KRW per person, which includes accommodation with four people assigned randomly to each room. The cost has sparked some discussion among fans, reflecting a broader conversation in the industry about event pricing. The debate continues over whether a K-Pop concert ticket price should be high, especially for exclusive events like this fan camp. Despite the cost, the event highlights a trend towards more premium, interactive fan experiences.
Kim DongWan’s Heartfelt Message to Shinhwachangjo
In his social media post on November 3, Kim DongWan specifically addressed the dropping temperatures. He warmly urged his fans not to overexert themselves to attend his events, even mentioning a pregnant fan and advising her to be careful. This thoughtful gesture was met with appreciation from the Shinhwachangjo community, who praised his genuine care. Reinforcing this sentiment, Kim DongWan also promised to hold more fan events in the spring of 2026, when the weather would be warmer and more comfortable for everyone.
Balancing Fan Engagement and Recent Controversies
This focus on direct fan interaction comes after Kim DongWan recently attracted attention for declaring and then retracting a “boycott” of variety show appearances. His current activities, including the small theater K-pop concert tour and the dedicated fan camp, suggest a deliberate shift towards more personal and meaningful engagement with his loyal fanbase. This move aligns with a growing desire from audiences for authentic interactions, as opposed to larger, less personal events that sometimes lead to backlash over issues like lip-syncing and overpriced tickets. By creating these intimate settings, Kim DongWan is directly addressing his fans’ desire for connection.
