tl, dr, Fujii Kaze is having a one day concert at the Gochuck Dome in Seoul on Dec 14, 2024.
===
It is said that Fujii Kaze is the only Japanese singer going anywhere in spotify outside of Japan.
Twice just did a concert at the Nissan Stadium in July, and Fujii Kaze will do one at there on this weekend.
He has some following in Korea, which he visited before, and Southeast Asia. He also did a couple of events in USA.
The Gochuck , the largest indoor venue in Seoul, was not available for concerts earlier this year because of an exhibition game featuring Ohtani Shohei , who is very big in Japan.
It appears the game was broadcast in Japan as well, and the Japanese learned the existence of the Gochuck.
NCT Dream had a couple of concerts there, and Seventeen had a fan meeting, but since it also houses a baseball teem it is not available for concerts during Mar-around Nov.
NCT will do another weekend of concerts there, and then,
Dua Ripa will have a couple days at that location.
Then, Fujii Kaze.
No important 4th gen acts are doing anything there.

Fujii Kaze's concert at the Gochuck is the largest concert done by a Japanese in Korean history.
Although some of the audience will be Japanese (it is cheaper to go to Seoul from various provincial cities of Japan than to Tokyo or Osaka, and Fujii grew up in Okayama, a provincial city), Fujii probably decided to try the Gochuck since he expected a lot of Korean fans would show up there as well.
With the weak showing of KPop songs, and the success of Jpop like songs like Gidle's Fate or that song from Qwer, the time seems to be more ripe for a 'payback' time from Jpop, which was big in Korea in the years before KPop became big.
Will the weakened KPop scene, with a lot of groups having Japanese members , be able to fight off this invasion of JPop?
