Hello World, but revamped and re-energized, a part 2 of the concert by JTK that happened at the same venue on May 26, 2023.
Last year, it was “Hello World”, but this year, it’s Fork the World. 2023 may have had many of us in a chokehold, so this year, we’re breaking ties, letting loose, and throwing caution to the wind on a night of thrill. It will be a fun-filled night of lively performances from JTK and guests. This event is in connection to the Hello World (EP), so ensure to listen to that.
