Jason Mraz, with a captivating voice, 18,000 audience members “Amaze-d” – OSEN

Even after three years, his return concert voice still had the same magnetic power to move the audience.

Jason Mraz, an American singer-songwriter regarded as one of the most beloved by Koreans, once again captivated 18,000 Korean fans with his charming voice and stage presence.

On the 17th, Jason Mraz held his sixth concert in Korea at the auxiliary stadium of Seoul Sports Complex. On Buddha's Birthday and the first day of the long holiday, audiences with relaxed expressions gathered from early on, and from around 8:30 p.m., Jason Mraz's sweet voice echoed nonstop across the outdoor stage of the auxiliary stadium.

His performance gave music fans in Korea, tired of electronic music, a healing experience for about two hours. Instruments including acoustic guitar, trumpet, saxophone, violin, accordion, cello, bass, and drums played each song, blending with Jason Mraz's unforced, easy-to-listen-to voice to color the early summer night with a gentle mood.

The concert began with 'The World as I See It,' and when the familiar 'Butterfly' to local fans resonated together with seductive LED visuals, it turned into a roar of cheers. Then 'You and I Both' sparked what is known as a singalong.

Along with 'I'm Yours,' the sweet performance of 'Lucky,' the song most famous to local fans as a Jason Mraz song, instantly wrapped the outdoor stage of the auxiliary stadium in a romantic atmosphere. On the 'Plane' stage, which carried a strong rock energy, Jason Mraz's powerful, vein-popping singing could also be heard.

The highlight came when 'I'm Yours' played. This song, which remained on the Billboard singles chart for 76 weeks and broke the record for the longest chart run, was performed as a surprise during the encore stage that day, and as befitting its fame, it ended the show on a refreshingly upbeat note. In particular, guitarist prodigy Sungha Jung joined in on this stage, and a choir made up of Korean girls also stood onstage, drawing attention.

Jason Mraz's two-hour concert colored the early summer night with a fantastic harmony created by top musicians and session players, along with living, breathing emotion. With no provocative visuals or sound, and placing the performance of instruments and voice itself at the forefront, his concert was also a moment to confirm why so many Korean musicians name him as their role model.
