The idol in question is none other than Kim Jaejoong, the former TVXQ! and JYJ star who is now a popular soloist. Kim recently announced on his Instagram that he would be performing on SBS’s Inkigayoย on August 11, a return that has stunned and excited fans.

Kimโ€™s appearance on “Inkigayo” is particularly momentous, as it marks his first time on a terrestrial music program since TVXQโ€™s release of Mirotic in 2008.

The singer performed “Glorious Day,” the title track from his 20th-anniversary album FLOWER GARDEN. The news has created a significant buzz, as fans eagerly anticipated seeing him on stage after such a long absence.

Multiple clips and videos of his interview and performance have gained attention and gone viral.

Fans were super endeared by his ending fairy as well!

Meanwhile, his performance will surely rack up views โ€” with netizens eager to watch it alongside Kim’s longtime fans.

Kim debuted with TVXQ! in 2003, and in 2009, he left SM Entertainment with fellow members Kim Junsu and Park Yoochun to form JYJ. However, the group faced significant challenges โ€” including a lengthy legal battle with their former agency that severely limited their appearances on variety and music shows.

Fans have expressed their overwhelming joy and pride at Kimโ€™s return, with many commenting on how much this moment means to them after years of waiting.
