DIPBLU artists JS (JISEONG) and JUN0—along with BANG TAE HOON—arrived in Nashville, and from the moment the lights hit the stage, it was clear this wasn’t just another tour stop. The weekend was packed with high-impact performances, a wholesome dance party, and a hands-on dance class that brought everyone to their feet. It left attendees with something refreshingly real—the kind of connection Tennessee K-Pop fans have been craving.

Kicking off the event was JUN0, an artist known for his light, expressive tone and genre-blending versatility. He made his official debut on April 5, 2023, under DIPBLU with the single like love, and has been steadily carving out a name for himself ever since. His music often leans into youthful, catchy melodies that stick with you, whether he’s singing, rapping, or exploring more experimental sounds. Over the past two years, JUN0 has released a string of tracks both as a solo artist and in collaboration with others—including highlights like Between the stars, LAST SCENE, and his most recent project, the May 2025 release WDYL (WHAT DO YOU LIKE?). With a wide musical spectrum and an instinct for hooks that land, JUN0 brings a unique voice to listeners—and it was that same charm and energy that opened the Nashville stage on a high note.

As attendees entered the venue, they were greeted by a stage bathed in a sea of purple light, framed by a star-filled sky backdrop that highlighted DIPBLU's logo. The mood was set—intimate yet electric. As the lights dimmed and the room flooded with that soft purple glow, JUN0 made his way out, kicking off the night with his debut track, 사랑같은건 (Honestly I Don't Need Love Anymore), a band sound-based song that captures the emotions JUN0 felt at the time—raw, honest, and deeply personal. His vocals carried that vulnerability while maintaining a steady energy that pulled the audience closer, making it clear this was more than just a performance; it was a moment of genuine connection. Next, JUN0 dove into Favorite Time, moving through the front of the crowd and engaging fans up close. This track allowed him to showcase not only his impressive rap skills but also his dynamic stage presence, blending sharp lyricism with smooth, rhythmic flows. The song’s upbeat tempo and catchy hooks had the audience bouncing along, perfectly capturing JUN0’s youthful energy and the playful side of his artistry. It was a moment where his versatility truly shined, balancing intensity with an inviting, almost conversational vibe that made the crowd feel like they were part of the experience.

Checking the crowd’s energy, JUN0 paused with a bright smile and asked if they enjoyed the song he just performed. The response was immediate—a thunderous, unified “YES!” that echoed through the venue. It was clear the audience wasn’t just watching the show; they were fully locked in, feeding off JUN0’s energy as much as he was feeding off theirs. Changing the vibe almost instantaneously, a stand-up mic was brought center stage as the lights softened. JUN0 took a more laid-back approach with his performance of 느리게 흘러갔으면해(Slowly), trading bold movements for subtle gestures and letting the emotion in his voice take the lead. The shift felt intimate and intentional, giving the crowd a chance to slow down and sit with the lyrics—a gentle contrast to the high-energy moments that came before. But as the youthful beat of Slowly picked up, JUN0 couldn’t restrain himself to the mic stand for long. Caught in the momentum of the music, he once again made his way around the front of the crowd, locking eyes with fans and moving with an ease that felt both natural and unfiltered. It was a brief but powerful burst of energy before he returned to the mic stand—this time singing with even more intensity, as if releasing every built-up emotion through each note. The performance struck a perfect balance between vulnerability and passion, leaving the room buzzing in its quiet aftermath.

JUN0 closed out his set with How Can I Love? and Wanna Be Your Last, and it honestly couldn’t have ended on a better note. How Can I Love? hit with a steady pulse and smooth momentum, giving the crowd something to move to while still holding onto his signature emotional edge. It was confident and clean—one of those songs that feels effortless but hits hard. Then came Wanna Be Your Last, which pushed the energy even higher. It was playful, catchy, and had everyone clapping along and singing along by the end. JUN0 didn’t just finish strong—he made sure no one would forget him. By the time he stepped off stage, the whole room was buzzing, and it was clear: he didn’t just make an impression, he made fans.

With JUN0's set energizing the room, the night was just getting started as attendees cut loose and Music City Seoul team kicked off a spontaneous random dance play session. Fans didn’t hold back, showing off their best moves and brightest smiles. Pure enjoyment filled the room, creating an infectious energy. After the MCs called everyone back to their spots, the lights dimmed once again. But this time, the stage was bathed in a sea of red as JISEONG (JS) made his entrance, stepping confidently in front of the crowd and ready to take over the night.

Just recently releasing his first solo album, JS was clearly eager for the crowd to experience it live. JS brought a new wave of energy as he kicked things off by introducing a call-and-response game, instructing fans to shout “ACTION!” every time they heard him say “Stop it” or “Move it.” After a quick practice run, the crowd was more than happy to join in, their energy building with every shout. With everyone locked in, JISEONG launched into a powerful, high-energy performance of ACTION!, instantly commanding the room and setting the stage for what was to come. Upon completing his first stage, JS couldn’t help but brag on the crowd for how loudly they cheered, letting them know he was more than ready to keep the energy going. Without skipping a beat, he quickly set the vibe with the audience, sparking several chants of “ay! ay! ay!” that echoed with the rhythm. The crowd was fully engaged as he dove into his next performance—Smokin'—bringing an even darker, more intense energy to the room.

Before moving on, JS took a moment to introduce his album, describing it as one that aims to be relatable to everyone. He explained that each song touches on experiences most people go through at least once or twice in their lifetime. The lyrics are crafted as a universal expression—meant for listeners to connect with and weave into their own stories. With that in mind, he prepared the crowd for one of the double title tracks from the album: Missing the Point. The bass drum intro instantly grabbed the audience’s attention, setting a steady, hypnotic rhythm that filled the room. As JS began to sing, his voice poured out with raw emotion, perfectly matching the song’s introspective lyrics. Missing The Point explores the frustration and confusion that come with realizing you’ve misunderstood something important—whether it’s about a relationship, a decision, or even yourself. The combination of the driving beat and JS’s heartfelt delivery created a powerful atmosphere, pulling listeners into the story and making the emotions feel deeply personal and relatable. It was a performance that left the crowd hanging on every word, fully immersed in the moment.

The next song JS introduced as a hype track, encouraging the crowd to simply feel the beat and let go. With that, he launched into PLASTIC, moving effortlessly around the crowd in true JISEONG fashion. His dynamic dancing and magnetic stage presence captivated everyone, while the audience hung on every word. The infectious energy of the track, combined with JS’s natural charisma, turned the room into an electric dance floor, making it impossible not to get swept up in the moment. Sadly, it was time for JS to perform his final song, Good Morning. Taking his place at the mic stand, he delivered his final performance with raw emotion and intensity. The song resonates deeply with anyone who has struggled to find peace through the long, restless hours of the night—those moments when sleep won’t come, and the morning light starts to rise unnoticed. With its haunting melody and honest lyrics, Good Morning captures the feeling of losing track of time, battling inner turmoil, and searching for calm in the chaos. JS’s vocal delivery was powerful and vulnerable, pulling the audience into that restless, midnight mindset and leaving them with a lingering sense of reflection as the performance came to a close.

As JS took his leave, the crowd erupted with chants of “ENCORE!” without missing a beat. Hearing their call, JUN0 and JS returned to the stage for a special joint performance of JUN0’s Light Up !!. The upbeat, cheerfully youthful track had everyone clapping along and fully vibing with the infectious energy. JS blended effortlessly into JUN0’s rhythm and emotion, their chemistry on stage creating a seamless, electrifying moment that left the audience buzzing with excitement. Upon ending their performance, JUN0 and JS thanked the crowd warmly before saying their goodbyes and leaving the stage. This opened the floor for another round of spontaneous dance play, with attendees eagerly jumping back in to show off their moves. Just as the session was winding down, the crowd was surprised and thrilled by a special guest appearance—Bang Tae Hoon stepped in to join for a handful of dance covers, including TAN’s hit Heartbeat. His flawless skills and stage presence only amplified the excitement, especially as news spread that Tae Hoon would be hosting a dance class the very next day.

However, before calling it a day on Saturday, fans were treated to a special opportunity to take selfies and participate in a fan sign session with JUN0, JISEONG, and TAE HOON. Some attendees had traveled over 20 hours just to be there, while others were local—and all were beyond excited to have an event like this happen right here in Tennessee. The chance to meet their favorite artists up close made the day feel even more unforgettable, leaving everyone with memories to cherish long after the lights went down.

When Sunday afternoon rolled around, attendees arrived at the dance studio ready for anything. Unsure of what choreography awaited them, they came prepared with water bottles, fans, and outfits that struck the perfect balance between stylish and comfortable—ideal for a day full of movement and learning. Cheers filled the dance studio as Tae Hoon entered the room, ready to show everyone what they would be learning. Asking if they knew Work by ATEEZ, the attendees erupted in cheers once again before settling down, curious about the choreography ahead. Tae Hoon started by playing the music and demonstrating the choreography in full, giving everyone a clear sense of the dance before breaking it down step by step. His teaching was patient and thorough, making all participants caught every move. After learning each segment slowly and carefully, it was finally time to put it all together—and pick up the pace. Tae Hoon switched lines to observe and give personalized guidance, keeping energy high and spirits lifted. Then came a special surprise: Tae Hoon divided the attendees into three groups and selected four lucky dancers to join him for a short filming session of the dance. The excitement in the room was palpable as they stepped up to dance alongside their instructor. Afterwards, Tae Hoon invited anyone who wanted to show off their moves to the center of the room, encouraging everyone to dance with him and celebrate their hard work together.

The day wrapped up not just with new choreography learned, but with a shared sense of community and inspiration. It was clear that this wasn’t just a dance class—it was a memorable experience that left everyone energized, connected, and eager for what’s next.
