Leehom Wang’s highly anticipated “One Leehom Wang Concert” in Taipei Dome on September 9th (Sat) and September 10th (Sun), 2023, kicked off ticket sales at noon on July 29th (Sat). Leehom Taipei concert, organized by Kwan’s International, saw an overwhelming response, with positive comments pouring in from his industry peers and even drawing praise from the richest man in the world.
Combining his concert with travel websites, Leehom utilized the platform to promote Taiwan tourism and showcase the beauty of the country. The CEO of Kwan’s International, Chiu Li-Kwan, expressed satisfaction with the ticket sales, stating that the high-priced tickets were almost sold out, and there was significant demand for private rooms, causing a delightful headache in finding suitable arrangements.
Leehom’s friends from the music industry, including Vivian Chow, Elva Hsiao, Wilber Pan, MC Jin, Ben Wu, and others, showed their support by liking or leaving comments on his official IG post about the Taipei concert. Notably, Vivian Chow, who was the guest of honor at Wang’s first concert in Taiwan, is excited about the reunion. Even friends from the movie industry, such as Daniel Wu and Armando Bo, the screenwriter of the movie “Birdman,” conveyed their best wishes.
Leehom expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support, cherishing the opportunity to perform in Taipei and promising to deliver new surprises to his fans during the concert.
Comments from Steve Chen, one of the founders of Youtube and Susan Rockefeller, were also received. Susan admired the collaboration between Wang Leehom and Tony Bennett, whom she called the “American pop and jazz crossover god,” on their rendition of the song “If I Ruled the World.” She was truly impressed and described it as “Amazing, What a blessing!”
Renowned jewelry designer, Cindy Chao, a fan of Leehom’s music, is excited to host the brand’s VVIP guests.
Hsu Feng, the movie “Farewell My Concubine” producer and a two-time Golden Horse actress, has always admired Leehom’s talent and affectionately calls him “Auntie Hsu Feng.” She has committed to flying back from Shanghai to Taiwan on September 9th to attend the concert and show her support. Leehom’s deep admiration for the movie “Farewell My Concubine” is evident, having watched it 19 times, and his classic song “Hero of the World” pays homage to the film.
Additionally, Kwan’s International will collaborate with the travel website “Ctrip.com” this time to facilitate overseas audiences in purchasing tickets for Leehom’s Taipei concert. This innovative approach aims to enhance the experience of Taiwan’s tourism and merges culture and innovation with the world of travel.
For the Taipei concert, Kwan’s International has invited Zhou Bingkun, a Hong Kong concert hall-of-fame stage designer, to join the team. Together, they have developed the concert’s theme of “ONE” and incorporated the concept of cubes, which can be presented individually or combined, to create a brand-new stage in Taipei where “a lot of ‘one’s’ are ‘everyone’s'”.
Kwan’s International has also assembled a “heavenly group” of international musicians to perform with Leehom, including Casey Subramaniam on bass, Aubrey Suwito on keyboards, and Sarah Thawer on drums, who are all popular choices.
Chiu Li-Kwan stated that the repertoire for this Taipei stop will differ from the previous two stops, and the fan can visit Kwan’s International’s Facebook or Instagram to leave their song requests for Leehom. The songs that receive higher rankings will have a better chance of being included in the concert.
