UNIVERSE, the wait is officially over! PENTAGON’s Jinho has finally delivered what fans have long been clamoring for: an official upload of his powerful solo rendition of ‘Basquiat’ from his 2026 JINHO FAN CONCERT ‘Dear. you’! The internet is abuzz with the joyous shouts of “Finally!” as this highly anticipated performance becomes globally accessible, showcasing Jinho’s unparalleled vocal prowess.
While irony would have it that Jinho was serving in the military when PENTAGON originally released ‘Basquiat’ – a track he heartbreakingly couldn’t participate in – his destiny with the song was far from over. Indeed, Jinho has since become the PENTAGON member most synonymous with the track, making it a staple and a highlight in his solo concert setlists, proving its enduring appeal and his captivating interpretation. Fans will agree: he sounds absolutely amazing every single time.
This isn’t the first time Jinho’s ‘Basquiat’ performances have made waves. UNIVERSE fondly recalls the electric duo stages of ‘Basquiat’ with fellow PENTAGON member Hui, notably at their 2024 Japanese fancon ‘Home Stay.’ However, to the collective dismay of fans, those iconic moments were frustratingly ‘gatekept’ by Cube Entertainment, remaining largely unseen outside the venue. Fortunately, post-Cube, Jinho and Hui reunited for another unforgettable ‘Basquiat’ duet during Jinho’s solo concert last year, a moment that quickly went viral thanks to fan-captured footage.
Now, with this official release, Jinho ensures that his powerful, emotive solo take on ‘Basquiat’ is preserved in stunning high-definition for all to witness and revere. His ability to command the stage and deliver the song’s intense narrative with such raw emotion solidifies why this particular rendition holds such a special place in the hearts of UNIVERSE. From its dramatic orchestration to Jinho’s soaring vocals, this ‘Basquiat’ performance is a testament to his artistry and a triumphant moment for fans who have passionately championed his connection to the song. If you haven’t already, dive into the masterwork that is Jinho’s ‘Basquiat’ solo – it’s everything we hoped for and more!
