In a joyous announcement for fans worldwide, Hwang Min Hyun has officially confirmed a series of highly anticipated fan meetings scheduled for early 2026.
This news comes on the heels of the artist completing his mandatory public service, marking his formal return to the entertainment industry after a hiatus of approximately one year and nine months.
On December 25, 2025—a Christmas gift in itself—Pledis Entertainment revealed that the singer-actor will embark on a tour titled “Dohwawon,” spanning major venues in both South Korea and Japan.
The announcement has sparked significant excitement among his dedicated fandom, known as Hwangdo, who have been eagerly awaiting his solo promotions.
Tour Schedule and Key Venues
The “Dohwawon” tour will consist of a total of six performances, strategically divided between Seoul and Tokyo.
- Seoul (South Korea): The tour will kick off with a three-day residency at the YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, running from February 6 to February 8, 2026. This intimate venue choice suggests a desire for close engagement with his domestic supporters.
- Tokyo (Japan): Following the Seoul dates, Hwang Min Hyun will travel to Japan for two shows at the prestigious Tokyo International Forum Hall on March 4 and March 5, 2026. These dates represent the first major solo events for the artist since his discharge, serving as the cornerstone of his 2026 promotional calendar.
Symbolism of “Dohwawon”
The title of the fan meeting, “Dohwawon,” carries deep cultural and personal significance. Literally translated, the term refers to a “garden in full bloom with peach blossoms.”
In classical literature and art, such a setting often symbolizes a hidden utopia or an ideal paradise.
For Hwang Min Hyun, “Dohwawon” represents a metaphorical space where he and his fans can reunite after their long separation.
The concept is designed to evoke feelings of warmth, renewal, and the beauty of a fresh start, positioning the event as more than just a performance, but a shared experience in a tranquil “paradise” created specifically for the artist and his followers.
A Heartfelt Gesture of Gratitude
Pledis Entertainment emphasized that these fan meetings are a direct expression of Hwang Min Hyun’s appreciation for his fans’ unwavering loyalty.
“This fan meeting was prepared as a heartfelt gesture of gratitude to fans who have waited for Hwang Min Hyun for a year and nine months,” the agency stated.
The performances are expected to feature a mix of musical stages, interactive segments, and personal storytelling, allowing the artist to reconnect with the audience on a deeper level.
The agency also called for “continued anticipation and support” as the artist prepares for this new chapter in his career.
Immediate Future: MC Duties at MBC Gayo Daejejeon
While the fan meetings are set for 2026, fans won’t have to wait long to see Hwang Min Hyun back in the spotlight.
He is scheduled to appear as an MC at the ‘2025 MBC Gayo Daejejeon: MUT’ on December 31, 2025.
This high-profile hosting gig serves as his first official activity following his military service, signaling a busy and productive year ahead.
His presence at the year-end festival is expected to be a major highlight for viewers, setting the stage for the massive “Dohwawon” tour just a few weeks later.

Impact and Fan Expectations
The announcement of the “Dohwawon” tour has already begun trending across social media platforms.
Fans are expressing their excitement about seeing “Visual King” Hwang Min Hyun back on stage, with many noting the poetic nature of the peach blossom theme.
As a former member of NU’EST and Wanna One, and a successful solo artist and actor (‘Alchemy of Souls’), Hwang Min Hyun holds a unique position in the industry.
These fan meetings are widely seen as the beginning of an era of intensified global activities, with many hoping for new music or acting projects to follow the tour.
For now, the focus remains on the “blossoming garden” of February and March 2026.
In a moment that fans have been eagerly awaiting for years, Huening Kai, the youngest member of the global K-pop sensation TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), officially launched his personal Instagram account on December 22, 2025.
This milestone is particularly significant as it marks the completion of the group’s individual social media presence; Huening Kai was the fifth and final member of TXT to open a solo account, following in the footsteps of Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, and Taehyun.
The news sent shockwaves through the fandom, known as MOA, causing his name to trend globally across multiple social media platforms within minutes of the account going live.
“Angel Has Arrived”: The Iconic First Post
Huening Kai made an unforgettable entrance into the Instagram world with a debut post that perfectly captured his signature charm and “maknae” energy.
For his first upload, he shared a stunning set of photos accompanied by the playful and fitting caption, “Angel has arrived.”
By choosing this specific phrasing, Huening Kai embraced his long-standing nickname among fans, who often refer to him as the “angel” of the group due to his kindhearted nature and bright personality.
Festive Musical Content and Fan Engagement
Beyond just a visual debut, Huening Kai utilized his new platform to share his latest musical endeavor.
On the same day his account launched, he posted clips of his new holiday cover: Justin Bieber’s “Only Thing I Ever Get For Christmas.”
The full version of the cover had been released on TXT’s official YouTube channel earlier that morning, but its inclusion on his personal Instagram allowed for a more intimate connection with his followers.

This move highlighted his dual identity as both a visual icon and a dedicated musician, setting a high standard for the type of content fans can expect from his page in the future.
Completing the TXT Social Media Puzzle
The launch of Huening Kai’s account represents a new era of communication for TXT. Since Yeonjun first opened his account in early 2022, the members have gradually established their own digital identities, each reflecting their unique hobbies and aesthetics.
With Huening Kai now active, the group has reached a state of “digital completion.”
This allows fans to see different facets of each member’s life—from Soobin’s love for nature and pets to Beomgyu’s artistic photography—while Huening Kai is expected to bring a mix of musical passion, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and his characteristic humor to his feed.
Explosive Growth and Global Impact
The growth of Huening Kai’s account was nothing short of meteoric. Within the first few hours, he surpassed several million followers, demonstrating the immense global reach of TXT.
Industry analysts point to this successful launch as a testament to the group’s individual brand power, which has only strengthened as they move into their sixth year as a group.
As ambassadors for high-end fashion brands and leaders of the “fourth generation” of K-pop, the members’ personal Instagram accounts serve as vital tools for global engagement and individual brand deals, and Huening Kai is poised to be a major player in this space.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As 2025 draws to a close, Huening Kai’s Instagram launch serves as a perfect holiday gift for MOAs and sets an exciting tone for 2026.
Fans are looking forward to seeing how he will use the platform to document his world tours, studio sessions, and daily life.
With all five members now possessing a direct line to their global audience, the synergy between their individual accounts and the group’s collective activities is expected to reach new heights.
Whether he is sharing a candid selfie or a snippet of a new song, one thing is certain: the “angel” of TXT has officially found a new home in the digital world.
