Kim Jae-joong of JYJ, who is serving his mandatory military service, filled the void by performing a concert via hologram in Japan.

His concert was held at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo on Tuesday and Wednesday, as over 15,000 fans gathered at the site to see the star’s virtual performance. The concert was recorded before Kim joined the service in March last year.

The concert, which Kim prepared as “a gift to his fans,” featured a selection of Kim’s songs, including those from his upcoming 2nd LP “No. X,” which will be released Thursday.

“It took over two years to prepare,” said an official from his label C-jeS Entertainment. According to the agency, it took them over a year to work with the pre-recorded contents to achieve completion.

“We focused on maximizing the sound quality as the new songs will be unveiled for the first time via hologram concert. Although this was our first attempt, the fans were very satisfied.”

The 30-year-old is tentatively scheduled to be discharged from his service on Dec. 30.

Kim’s second LP will be released online Thursday.
