Singer Hong Jung-hong Reflects on Mortality and Cherishes Fans Ahead of Concerts

Taiwanese singer Hong Jung-hong, facing rumors of marital strife, spoke with profound emotion about his upcoming concerts, revealing a deep appreciation for his fans and a poignant awareness of his own aging.

During a rehearsal for his "Old Love, Endless Love" concerts in Taipei on July 25th and 26th, Hong shared that many fans have reached out, some battling stroke recovery, chronic illnesses, or simply lacking the energy to travel. "I used to think there was always tomorrow, but now I realize, as you get older, you truly see each other less and less," he said, his voice tinged with feeling.

Hong, who underwent surgery last year due to health issues, now keenly understands the limitations that come with age. He expressed a strong desire for his elderly fans to attend, saying, "If my body allows, I hope everyone can come. I want to see these old friends who have accompanied me for many years, so we don't leave any regrets."

He lamented that many fans cannot attend not out of unwillingness, but because they are physically unable to travel. "Many people aren't unwilling to come, they just can't walk anymore," he stated, his eyes welling up. He vowed to continue performing as long as he is able, aiming to reach his fans wherever possible to spare them the arduous journey.

Taiwanese Golden Melody Award winner Hong Jung-hong will be joined by fellow singer Huang Fei as a special guest at the Taipei concerts.
