Yoon San-ha‘s 3rd Annual Birthday Concert: Highlights from the ’SANiGHT Project #3 - Promise'

[Sports Today reporter Song Oh-jeong] ASTRO member Yoon San-ha celebrated his birthday with fans for the third consecutive year.

On the 21st, Yoon staged his third intimate theater show, YOON SAN-HA: SANiGHT Project #3 - Promise, at the ECC Samsung Hall at Ewha Womans University in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

The concert is part of Yoon’s self-produced SANiGHT series. Following 2024’s YOON SAN-HA: SANiGHT Project #1 - Wish and 2025’s YOON SAN-HA: SANiGHT Project #2 - Meeting, this installment sold out as well, marking three straight years of sellouts. The first performance was also streamed online, allowing international fans to join.

He opened the show with a restrained, reimagined version of "6PM (Nobody's Business)" from his second solo mini-album, CHAMELEON, then moved through a varied sonic palette that included ballads, pop and acoustic arrangements.

His soft timbre and emotionally resonant delivery reshaped "Popcorn" and "DAISIES" into warm, spring-tinged moments. Performances of "I'm Sorry, I Hate You, I Love You" and "If You Ask Me What Love Is" highlighted his trademark sensitivity. Those songs had previously been featured in SANiGHT content, lending added depth to the live renditions.

A talk segment built around the theme of promises created an affectionate, lively exchange between Yoon and the audience. He answered letters from Aroha (ASTRO’s official fandom) with sincerity, shared recommended tracks—"A Poem Called You," "Spring, Spring, Spring," and "Marigold"—and, at fans’ requests, performed the chorus choreography for Moonbin & Sanha’s "WHO" and took part in the "Angtal Challenge," showing a playful side.

Yoon closed the main set with "Only You (Feat. Heize)" and "Now, Goodbye!" then returned for an encore, delivering "Love You Like Fools" and "Good Night, Good Dreams," leaving a resonant final impression.

At the end of the show, Yoon told the audience, "I’ll keep pushing myself to stay healthy and give my best this year. I still have SANiGHT dates in Japan, and I plan to return prepared and looking sharp," raising fans’ expectations for his upcoming activities.

He also added, "I hope everyone stays healthy in 2026 and enjoys happiness like last year. Thank you for coming to my birthday performance."

Yoon will continue YOON SAN-HA: SANiGHT Project #3 - Promise with concerts at Zepp Namba in Osaka on April 10 and Zepp Haneda in Tokyo on April 12. Recently, he showcased his vocal chops with a busking performance on ENA’s music-variety program Change Street.
