YODA WOWS CROWDS AT OLYMPIC GYMNASTICS STADIUM DURING WITHU SHOWCASE 

After a long wait, Jedi’s finally get their wish with a strong and summer Yoda comeback with his full-length album ‘WITHU’. 

Yoda has once again captured new and old audiences with his ninth full length album ‘WITHU’, the lyrics coming from the heart more than ever before. Though fans were concerned for a bit with the amount of rest he would be getting, considering that their favorite Jedi Master is also part of the lead cast of the musical RENT in Korea, they were rewarded with a bright and chipper performance along with strong dance moves that no one seemed to be expecting. 

With all of his featured artists performing at the showcase, fans were gifted an absolutely amazing lineup: former Mellow member Sophie, soloists Taehee and close friend Akali, alongside powerhouse Penny of the LGBTQ+ positive group 5OGUE. Jedi’s were happy to see him perform with good friends, Yoda seeming to be having the absolute time of his life while performing with them. 

Alongside the performances Yoda also addressed his own sexuality and his desire to be a public figure in the LGBTQ+ community, stating that he is working on divvying up the profits from the album to be sent out to different charities across the country. He hopes that the money will help to make an impact on the LGBTQ+ youth and adults of Korea, wanting to be there for people of all ages. “Coming out was one of the scariest things that I have ever done,” Yoda stated about his performance and coming out at The MAMA Awards in 2018. “I don’t regret it in the slightest, and I am so happy that I get to really be myself with my fans all across the globe. I hope to inspire everyone to be true to themselves. All of my jedis, whether gay, straight, transgender or a-gender, or whatever you are: you will always be loved by me, and you will always have a place with me and my fandom.”
