tripleS Bring Power, Precision, and Personality to Chicago with Their Alphie Tour

Chicago’s Vic Theatre pulsed with excitement as fans — affectionately known as WAV — filled the venue to see tripleS’ newest subunit, Alpha Percent, take the stage. With the energy of a full-scale festival packed into one night, the eight-member lineup — Yooyeon, Kotone, Nien, Lynn, HaYeon, ShiOn, ChaeWon, and JiYeon — delivered a performance that reminded everyone exactly why tripleS continues to stand out in the 4th-gen K-pop scene.

Known for their ambitious 24-member structure and dynamic subunits, tripleS have built a reputation for innovation and versatility. The Alphie Tour marks the group’s second North American tour of 2025, following their successful Come True Tour earlier this year. This new chapter brings a sharper focus on Alpha Percent’s individuality while still celebrating the larger identity of tripleS as a whole.

From the moment the lights dimmed, fans knew they were in for something special. The concert burst to life with “Girls Never Die,” a high-energy opener that instantly set the tone for the night. The members moved with flawless synchronization — their formations crisp, their charisma magnetic — while WAVs filled the theater with cheers, chants, and waves of bright lightsticks.

The setlist was a well-crafted journey through tripleS’ universe, featuring highlights from their ASSEMBLE albums and reimagined performances from beloved subunits like Visionary Vision and EVOLution. Between songs, playful VCR segments gave fans a more personal look at the members as they shared stories, behind-the-scenes memories, and reflections on their growth as idols.

Alpha Percent proved that tripleS isn’t just about choreography and stage presence — it’s about connection. Each member took moments to wave, laugh, and interact with the audience, ensuring even fans seated at the back felt part of the experience. The atmosphere was electric yet intimate, a balance only a group with their confidence and heart could pull off.

Before the show even began, VIP fans were treated to exclusive experiences — from group photos and hi-touch moments to raffles for signed memorabilia. The attention to detail reflected the same care and effort that defines tripleS as artists. As the night built toward its climax, the group unleashed crowd favorites “Are You Alive” and “Rising,” closing the main set with an explosion of light, sound, and energy that left fans breathless. But WAVs weren’t ready to let go just yet — chants filled the venue until Alpha Percent returned for an encore filled with fun interactions, freestyle moments, and even lightstick choreography that had everyone moving together as one.

For many, this wasn’t just another concert — it was a shared celebration of creativity, resilience, and community. tripleS Alpha Percent reminded everyone why they’re one of the most exciting forces in K-pop today: versatile, grounded, and endlessly evolving.

And for WAVs who couldn’t make it to Chicago — don’t worry. The Alphie Tour continues across the West Coast, and with tripleS ∞ preparing to debut their first project this month, it’s clear that this global phenomenon is only just getting started.
