ETERNITY, was released later in 2007, and it was acclaimed by both critics and fans. Throughout his career, John Hoon continued to release music, including his second album Kyo mo Atarashii Yume wo Miru (2008), and the well-received single "Blue Moon" in 2009. He also released his third album Machi in 2010, which peaked at number 18 in the Oricon charts. His single "Present" followed in 2011, and then his fourth album Voice in 2012. John Hoon was also engaged in a prolific acting career, appearing in shows like Dummy Mommy and The Three Witches, as well as his Hollywood debut in the 2018 film Pacific Rim: Uprising.
