The singer will perform several of his hit songs including "Butterfly," "One Kiss," "Mine," "Walking on Water," and "Glamorous Sky" as part of the Open Air #2 X-mas Festival in Hanoi. He will also have a fan meet prior to his show, during which he will sign items for fans who purchase the highest-priced tickets of the event, which cost VND15 million (US$620).

Kim has previously visited Vietnam in 2012, 2014 and 2019 for fan meets and performances, with thousands of fans attending each.

The Open Air #2 X-mas Festival is set to take place on Dec. 23 and 24 at My Dinh Stadium. The event’s line-up includes artists including South Korean artists Super Junior D&E, Infinite, and Highlight, and Vietnamese acts Toc Tien, Chi Pu, and Duc Phuc.

Kim, 37, debuted as a member of DBSK in 2004. The group achieved many accomplishments, including being honored as the best Korean boyband of the first decade of the 21st century.

Kim departed from DBSK in 2010. He formed the group JYJ along with two other former members of the group, Kim Jun Su and Park Yoo Chun. He then started pursuing a solo music career, as well as branching into business and fashion.

The South Korean media estimated in 2018 that Kim’s assets were worth over $100 million, making him one of the wealthiest celebrities in the country.
