新潟県が部活動の遠征を調査、15件が不適切か 北越高バス事故受け

Original Japanese Read in English

Korean pop star An Chi-hwan has unveiled his 15th studio album, "시즈 더 데이," and will be meeting fans for a solo concert. Scheduled for release in the second week of September, "시즈 더 데이" is a work that expresses appreciation for the preciousness of daily life and the present moment. It follows his 14th album, "인간계," released last October after a 11-month hiatus.

The album title, "시즈 더 데이," is derived from the Latin phrase "Carpe diem," which translates to "seize the day." It encourages living in the present moment, not fixating on the past or future.

An Chi-hwan explained that the album is dedicated to those who quietly carry out their responsibilities and appreciate life as it is. He stated that he aims to sing softly while walking slowly and appreciating the world in front of him. In a previous interview with the Chosun Ilbo, he mentioned that he will release warm and beautiful love songs in the coming year.

The solo concert, titled "2026 가을 안치환 콘서트—가을을 노래하다," will take place on September 18th at 7 PM and September 19th at 4 PM in Seoul's Mupo-eup Yeonam Space. The performance will feature key tracks from his 15th album, as well as popular songs like "사람이 꽃보다 아름다워," "내가 만일," and "희망을 만드는 사람." An Chi-hwan plans to perform these familiar hits in intimate venues, creating a close connection with the audience.

A 30-year veteran of the music industry, An Chi-hwan has consistently tackled social issues, hardships, and everyday life through his songs since making his debut in 1989. From addressing societal disparities to exploring themes of love and life, he has remained a respected singer-songwriter throughout his career. Concert tickets are available through the NOL·옛 인터파크 system.
