JAKARTA - Yun Seok Cheol Trio from South Korea appeared on the first day of the Java Jazz Festival (JJF) 2025 which was held at JIExpo Kemayoran, Central Jakarta on Friday, May 30.
Yun Seok Cheol (piano, keyboard, synth), Jung Sang E (contrabass, electric bass), and Kim Yeongjin (drums) rose to the Ascott Hall stage at 18.45 WIB.
Quite surprising, when more than half of the seats in the hall were filled. Like the previous years, Friday was not as busy as two other days. In addition, jazz artists featuring instrumental works are not very attractive to many people.
For Yun Seok Cheol Trio's appearance, thousands of viewers seemed to really enjoy the show. Songs such as Boy Reside Ahead Of Girls University and Merrily Music are performed.
Their appearance gives a new impression to the world of music performances in Indonesia. In the midst of the rise of K-pop concerts, Yun Seok Cheol Trio brings a fresh impression of South Korean music for Indonesian music lovers.
"Good night, how are you," said Yun Seok Cheol, trying to greet the audience in Indonesian.
"We are Yun Seok Cheol Trio from Korea. Thank you," he continued.
