CNBLUE's Jung Yonghwa turns 26 years old today, but the Korean singer managed to celebrate early during his concert in Taiwan. Yonghwa celebrated his 26th birthday during his "One Fine Day" solo concert at the Taipei Tienmu Center.

Proving to be a blockbuster hit, Yonghwa's concert sold all 4,000 tickets. The CNBLUE lead singer performed hits from his latest solo album, "One Fine Day." Apart from his energetic performance, fans were touched and surprised when Yonghwa greeted them in Mandarin.

Another surprising part of the concert was when Taiwanese singer, JJ Lin joined Yonghwa onstage - complete with a birthday cake and a birthday song from the crowd. JJ Lin also worked with Yonghwa for one of his songs in the album namely "Checkmate."

The birthday greeting turned out to be one heck of a surprise for Yonghwa. In a report by KPopStarz, the 26-year old singer had no idea of Lin's plans to come onstage - let alone greet him a happy birthday.

"I had no idea about any of this," says Yonghwa. In addition to the cake, JJ Lin also taught Yonghwa a few Mandarin phrases such as "I need a hug" and "Oh I'm so tired."

Fans also took part in making Yonghwa's birthday celebration in Taiwan one to remember. Birthday messages for the CNBLUE singer were posted on buses running around Taiwan. Also during the concert, fans wore masks from the popular American animated series, "The Simpsons." Yonghwa is reportedly a huge fan of the show.

For those who didn't manage to make it to Yonghwa's Taiwan concert, fret not as the singer will head back to his country, Korea, in July. Yonghwa's "One Fine Day" concert will be held in Seoul on July 18 and 19.

Apart from the concert, fans should also look forward to the Korean-Chinese remake of "Dream Team." It has been confirmed that Yonghwa would join the remake along with the likes of EXO's Xiumin, SHINee's Minho, FT Island's Lee Hong Ki, and more. This is not the first time China has remade a number of Korean shows. Other shows include the famed "Running Man."

"Because of this success, both production teams are investing a lot into the program and top idols are in negotiations to appear. We hope that the success will lead to opportunities for future seasons," shares a representative in charge of the China-Korea "Dream Team" remake.
