Jay Park Body Rolls into NYC with LNGSHOT

Jay Park brought his, long awaited, Serenades and Body Rolls tour to New York City’ Infosys Theater at MSG on September 11, 2026.  The sold out, nearly 6,000 seat venue was buzzing from the moment the doors opened.  Friday night wasn’t just a concert — it was a full‑scale takeover, the kind of night where the energy hits you in the chest before the beat even drops.  New York crowds are famously hard to impress, but this audience showed up loud and ready. The mix of longtime Jay Park fans and new listeners discovering LNGSHOT, created a rare blend of hype and curiosity.  The stage design leaned into sleek minimalism — LED screens, sharp lighting cues, and a single DJ table commanded all night by long-time Jay Park collaborator, DJ Wegun.

LNGSHOT, made up of four members, Ohyul, Ryul, Woojin and Louis, opened the night with a set that felt like a statement: they were not just an opener, they are a rising force. They came out swinging, immediately commanding a room, which can’t be easy for a group that just debuted in January of this year.  Kicking off the night with ‘Saucin’’, ‘Backseat’ and ‘Moonwalkin’’ before transitioning into solo songs, pre-debut records from their EP ‘Training Day’ to get to know each of the members.  Before wrapping up their solo set with ‘Never Let Go’ and ‘FaceTime’. Their catchy hooks, steady rap verses, relaxed hip-hop style dance moves mixed with plenty of fan interaction, kept the crowd locked in. LNGSHOT’s charisma felt effortless — confident but not overbearing, hungry but polished. NYC loves authenticity, and they delivered.  As a surprise to the crowd, LNGSHOT announced their next EP, ‘S.W.I.S.H.’ will be released in November and then performed the new unreleased song titled ‘Beep Beep’.  Their performance, if nothing else, tells us that they are anything but a longshot.

Next, was time for the More Vision CEO himself to take the stage.  Jay Park’s entrance was immediate — DJ Wegun hit the transition, the lighting bathed the stage in red and, for the first time in NYC since 2019, he appeared like he owned the building. The 39 year old, Seattle born and raised, multi-hyphenate’s setlist was a jammed packed curated journey through his catalog: R&B smoothness, hip‑hop swagger, and pop‑leaning crowd-pleasers.  No song was spared in Jay’s 30-song solo setlist, but to no one’s surprise the most anticipated song of the night was ‘Mommae’.  If the energy in the crowd wasn’t electric enough this song took it to another level.  Jay’s dancers matched his precision, but he still broke into solo moves that reminded everyone why he’s a generational performer. And Jay knows how to talk to a New York audience.  His ments were playfully self-deprecating, but confident, and just the right level of chaotic. Jay also weaved tributes to pop music into his set with a Backstreet Boys cover of ‘I Want It That Way’ into his own ‘Why’ and a performance of Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’ complete with sequined jacket and glove.  

If two loaded hours of songs from Jay wasn’t enough then you were in luck because he brought LNGSHOT back on the stage to round out the show with a performance of every song from their joint-release ‘4shoboiz vol.2: 4shoville’. When they shared the stage the energy was explosive with natural chemistry, closing the night shoulder-to-shoulder looking more like co-headliners.  The emotional peak came near the end of the show where he addressed the date — 9/11 — with sincerity and respect. It grounded the night and showed his awareness of the city’s history as he asked the crowd to join him in a moment of silence, on the 25th Anniversary of the tragic events that forever changed NYC and the U.S.

Watching Jay Park and LNGSHOT command the stage, you wouldn’t have known that they have performed 9 times in 13 days in 4 different countries and 3 time zones. Even with a hectic travel schedule, their moves and vocals were that of what you would expect from seasoned performers. Their dynamic, high-voltage performances blended artistry, athleticism, and authenticity. Jay Park proved he’s still evolving, and LNGSHOT proved they are a group to watch. There’s been a lot of chatter that Jay Park could be done touring, after ‘Serenades and Body Rolls’ ends but he told the crowd he’s not done yet.  Hopefully it won’t be another 7 years to see Jay take the stage in NYC again. But while we await his return we can tune in for new music from his proteges LNGSHOT.  But if you can’t wait, ‘Serenades and Body Rolls’ and it’s three hour set time, continues through the end of October with more stops in the U.S. before rounding out the tour with shows in Europe.
