- "Put Your Hand Up!": OnlyOneOf recOnnect with atlanta lyOn during 'Our Only Odyssey' tOur
Odysseys -- stories of journeys home and reconnecting with loved ones. Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse was brimming with energy on April 6th as OnlyOneOf made their return to connect with southeast lyOn during their 'Our Only Odyssey' tour. Photo Credit: BR OnlyOneOf debuted on May 28, 2019, under 8D Entertainment with their songs “ savanna ” and “ time leap .” Consisting of members KB, Rie, Yoojung, Junji, Mill, and Nine, the group is known for their bold concepts and sultry choreography. The Our Only Odyssey tour is the first time the group has toured with only five members – Rie began serving his mandatory military service in January. Though his presence was missed, the other members still brought their all to give lyOns a night they’ll never forget. OnlyOneOf confidently kicked off the show with fan-favorite “ chrOme hearts ,” setting the stage for a night of more incredible performances. Throughout the 20-song setlist, including a medley of solo performances, the members showed off their crisp vocals and sharp choreography skills, just two of the many reasons why fans are so drawn to them. The other reasons? Well, that comes down to the rest of the experience they brought. The members weren’t shy about showing off their personalities. During every ment, the members entertained the crowd with their charisma and humor, often interacting directly with fans on the floor. At one of the most hilarious moments of the evening, KB threw his necktie into the crowd during his sexy solo performance “ be free .” Just minutes after the solo medley concluded, KB sheepishly approached fans to ask for the tie back, since his stylist said they only have the one! “ Thank you so much… I appreciate you .” He told the fan, while Nine teasingly called him a “ bad guy ” for taking the tie back, causing a roar of laughter in the theatre. But beyond the silly moments, OnlyOneOf made it clear they were here not to perform for fans, but with them. Before their performance of “ Stay ,” leader and maknae Nine led the audience through hand motions to teach them part of the harmony in the song, so fans could sing and motion along. He was passionate about the interactions, pointing to a few shy fans, venue staff, tour staff, and even a photographer -- humorously urging, “ Put your hand up! ” The resulting heartwarming and harmonious performance painted a beautiful picture that encapsulated the special connection the members of OnlyOneOf have with their lyOns. Two years prior, lyOn were fortunate to celebrate Junji's birthday, and here they were—two years later—about to relive the magic of celebrating an artist on their actual birthday! Next up was the most endearing part of the evening, as fans once again celebrated Junji's birthday with him! A special fan-made video was played on the screen, with several fans offering well wishes and sharing their love for him. One lyOn shared a video of herself taking a photo of Junji around her home while doing chores to keep him company, making the group laugh. As Junji promised he wouldn't cry, Nine obtained a giant handmade card from a lyOn in the crowd—filled with messages from fans—teasing Junji by asking, "Not even with this? You're not going to cry?" He flashed the card open and closed to Junji, who was still holding onto his strong will not to cry. The members also took a moment, and the group led the crowd in a hearty round of "Happy Birthday." Junji teared up at all the love, dropping to the floor in a deep bow to show his appreciation for lyOn's support. After energetic performances of “ skinz ” and “ libidO ,” the group took a moment tonrecognize the energy of Atlanta lyOns -- stating "Atlanta's always crazy!" The group took a brief monent for a wardrobe change from which they returned sporting their tour tees and jeans for an unforgettable encore with songs “ OnlyOneOf me ” and “ angel .” Teasing fans by picking uo their qatee bottles, and jumping up and down to the beat of the music -- raising the crowds energy befire finally spraying fans with several bottles of water. The group concluded the night with a selfie with fans before bidding them an emotional goodbye, thanking them for a fun night. It’s clear this was more than just a tour stop for OnlyOneOf. This show was an opportunity for the group to personally connect with lyOn in a meaningful way – and we can’t wait to do it again in the future. Be sure to grab your tickets to catch OnlyOneOf at: April 16: Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, CA April 19: River Rock Theatre, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Nine slowed it down with " beyOnd ” and brought Mill in as they danced with each other intimately, earning cheers from fans. phOtO credit: JT The members took a moment to ask fans if they knew a certain song, this earned a mixed response from the crowd and getting a worrying response from the group “ is the Gwenchana challenge more popular than our songs? ” The Gwenchana challenge refers to a popular TikTok audio that idols and the kpop community partake in. Fans laughed at the comment as the members mirrored them and recreated the dance. Moving onto the next segment, the group performed some of their softer ballad tracks featuring romantic lyrics. Fans mirrored the members as they swayed their hands along with the music. During their song “ Seoul Drift ”, they followed their trend for the tour a d changed the lyrics to fit the current city's mood -- for this stop, they changed to “ Houston Drift ” instead. This was accompanied by a simple dance move that the members taught the audience, mirroring that of a cowboy on a horse. A common occurrence in kpop concerts, the latter portion of the concert featured a short music video, highlighting each member. Audience screams could be heard throughout the venue at such a high volume that the group teased them about it in their ending comments. phOtO credit As the show came to a close, OnlyOneOf sang one last song, their collaboration with notable and award-nominated South Korean producer Gray, “ angel ”. As a final “ thank you ” to the audience, the group made sure to leave a lasting impression on fans by splashing them with water and throwing their tour shirts into the crowd. Overall the sultry atmosphere and erotic vibe of the OnlyOneOf concert made for an unforgettable night for lyOns and attracted the interest of attendees who may not have been familiar with the group beforehand.
- CRAVITY gets "GROOVY" in Chicago During 'Masterpiece' World Tour
The Windy City was yet again greeted by Starship Entertainment’s nine-member boy group, CRAVITY on June 18, 2023. 394 days after their participation in KCON’s KCON Premiere 2022 in Chicago on May 20, 2022, members Serim, Allen, Jungmo, Woobin, Wonjin, Minhee, Hyeongjun, Taeyoung, and Seongmin returned to Chicago for their first solo U.S. tour. With this being a Studio PAV tour, there was one major difference: the members of CRAVITY had time to meet with LUVITY thanks to Studio PAV’s fan-favorite snapshot session, hi-touch session, and fan sign! The streets of Chicago were already bustling with the sounds of city traffic, while the street of W Lawrence Ave where the Copernicus Center can be found was bustling with the sounds of excited LUVITY. As fans arrived at the 1,800-capacity venue, they began their check-in process to receive their lanyards and long-awaited, and highly desirable snapshot tickets. Once check-in was completed fans were then separated based on their tier level, and thanks to STUDIO PAV’s no-line rule, this process has never been easier. When fans purchase their tickets, they are assigned a queue spot in line, and this is the order in which fans line up when they separate into tiers. Once LUVITY found their spot in line, it was time to go meet the members of CRAVITY for a fan sign, hi-touch session and group photo. Once fan engagements ended, it was time to enter the venue and await showtime. As LUVITY entered the venue they were greeted with a screen illuminated with a puzzle that was missing a piece and read “CRAVITY 1st World Tour MASTERPIECE.” As LUVITY took to their seats — some even found their way to the barricade — the venue went dark and LUVITY’s cheers filled the venue as the intro VCR began. Cheers settled as the VCR came to an end, and immediately filled the venue — only this time LUVITY were twice as loud — as the members took the stage. The initial stage performances of “Get Lifted,” “Baddie,” and “My Turn” set the energy for the first part of the night – as fans cheered louder with each stage performed. CRAVITY’s intensity was defined in just those first three songs with their wide-ranged vocal abilities, power-filled choreography and energetic raps; Which made it impossible for LUVITY to take their eyes away from the stage for even just a short moment. The members took a moment to introduce themselves as a group, and individuals, before continuing with powerful and sexy concept stages such as “Flip The Frame” and “Veni Vidi Vici,” before Woobin introduced the next stage with the following hint: Woobin: “I have really bad bad stuff” Members: “Stuff? What stuff?” Woobin: “I have a bad habit” CRAVITY finished out their first set of powerful stages with “Bad Habits” and “Gas Pedal” before slowing things down with “Give Me Your Love,” which allowed the members time to acknowledge and interact with LUVITY before picking up the venue’s energy, once again, with “Maybe Baby,” “Fly,” and fan-favorite “Boogie Woogie.” These stages showed a contrast from the beginning of the concert by “showing a more youthful concept” (Taeyoung) from the members. CRAVITY wrapped up their bright and youthful stages while still choosing different members to introduce songs where Wonjin introduced “Ooh Aah” by its chorus’ easily identifiable choreography, “PARTY ROCK,” — which had the Copernicus Center filled with the sounds of LUVITY singing along to every word — was introduced by ALLEN saying, “When I say party, you say rock,” and proceeded to interchange shouts between himself and LUVITY. The group returned to the stage to show stages that mixed the two concepts of powerful and youthful, starting with “VIVID'' and “New Addiction,” where LUVITY’s cheers filled venue once again confirming that CRAVITY has indeed became Chicago’s new addiction. We then arrived at three highly anticipated fan-favorite stages,“Jumper,” “POW!,” and “GROOVY.” These high-energy stages had the crowd wanting more as it was apparent that the members were having the time of their lives on stage — so much so that they had almost forgotten to take a bow and tell LUVITY that “GROOVY” would be their final stage. As LUVITY awaited the encore stages, it didn’t take long before, “All on my mind, All on my mind” and the deafening cheers of LUVITY filled the venue as the members to the stage for a performance of “A to Z.” Finally bringing the night to an official end, the members each took a moment to thank everyone for coming to see them and express their love for LUVITY. Several members took a moment to acknowledge that this was their third time in Chicago and this time they were on their own tour. Some notable ments occurred as Woobin expressed that he feels alive when he hears LUVITY’s cheers, Allen was sure to acknowledge that Chicago was a special city for the members of CRAVITY because it was the first time that they were able to hear the cheers of LUVITY, Serim acknowledged how much fun he was having on stage that he “refelt what it truly meant to be an artist,” and Minhee focused solely on LUVITY saying, “From today… YOU ARE MY BIAS!” After this heartfelt and encouraging moment from the members, it was Woobin’s turn to introduce the final song which he “wrote for his besties, LUVITY.” LUVITY, with the help of Jungmo and Allen, cheered “WOOBIN! WOOBIN! WOOBIN!” where he replied “I don’t think we can go with this energy, because this next song is a very touched song. This song expresses all of our emotions that we feel when performing for LUVITY.” Members took this final moment to interact with and acknowledge LUVITY all around the venue as they waved goodbye and shared hearts during their final stage, “Light My Way.” Shoutout and a big “Thank You” goes out to the team at Studio PAV , Starship Entertainment and the members of CRAVITY for allowing us the opportunity to provide coverage for this show!

- Bang Yong-Guk Makes His Long Awaited Return to Atlanta BABY
Two thousand two hundred and fifty-five… That’s how many days have passed since his last live performance in Atlanta, as Bang Yongguk finally made his long awaited return to BABY in Atlanta at the midpoint of his first solo U.S. tour - - COLORS OF BANG YONGGUK TOUR IN USA 2023. At 6:00 PM on Thursday, June 8, 2023, the Buckhead Theatre opened its doors to fans who found their way as close to the stage as possible. As fans began to fill the two-tiered venue, they were greeted by a stage bathed in mellow purple lighting illuminating a DJ setup…. As showtime approached, the venue went dark and fans were greeted by the sound of DJ Samuel Ku’s mixes. Samuel Ku is a member of PAPERMAKER Publishing, and has written and arranged for artists such as EXID, Kep1er, Park Jihoon, Ghost9 and GOT7. He also co-wrote “UFO” and “Ride or Die” with Bang Yongguk. Once Samuel Ku had helped set the venue’s energy, he then invited Yongguk to the stage, who immediately launched into the opening lines of “G.M.T. (Give Me That)” letting Atlanta know HE IS BACK as the enthusiastic screams from his fans filled the venue. Fans held signs written in Korean and light sticks including their Matoki s, B.A.P’s official lightstick. After that warm-up (more like heat-up!!!), Yongguk took a moment to speak to the audience and conveyed his affection for Atlanta in particular as the birthplace of Martin Luther King which led to a rather unexpected surprise for long-time BABY where Yongguk began to rap his famous line from B.A.P’s "One Shot" : “기회는 한 번뿐 어두운 길을 걸어 빛을 밝혀 Martin Luther King 처럼” He then took time to thank fans for staying with him and coming out to see him after a 7 year absence before continuing the night with performances of “RACE,” which is a very passionate song that speaks of his ambition to keep running towards his dreams and desires in moments during the song such as: "Even out of breath I won't stop Even if my road is blocked I'll run”... And rest assured that his BABY will be there for the ride as far as he will go. Following “RACE” was “Rain on Me” and “UFO,” where Samuel Ku joined in the performance before changing things up with “Hikikomori.” Next was the most anticipated and talked about song on the setlist - - “I Remember.” Released in 2011, the original duet track featured vocals from Yang Yoseob of B2ST, but was later released in 2012 as part of B.A.P’s repackaged mini-album, CRASH . The 2012 version of “I Remember” features Yongguk with former B.A.P. bandmate, Daehyun singing. As the track played and Daehyun’s backup vocals filled the venue, BABY were singing right along while being hit with nostalgia. Finally, “Screwed UP” was performed before Yongguk’s next ment stage. For this ment stage, Yongguk took a moment to find a fan willing to allow him to borrow their lightstick. BYG: What is this? BABY: Matoki BYG: Matoki light stick and it is what color? BABY: GREEN! BYG: Green okay, let’s do GREEN. This song once again shows his love for his and his group’s fans which can be heard in the opening line that filled the venue from Yonguk and fans alike - - “BABY you are my green.” Next were hype songs “Ride or Die,” “Ya,” and “Off,” where Yongguk displayed his confidence, powerful stage presence and his ability to flawlessly keep BABYz screaming throughout the venue as he poured water on himself. Then we arrived to BABYz second most anticipated stage, Yongguk made a call for the audience to quiet down. As the venue fell to silence, Yongguk proceeded to shout --without his mic - - “YAMAZAKI! YAMA” where BABY joined in with “ZAKI.” Towards the end of this stage he stopped singing and watched in awe as BABY continued to sing the lyrics for his third mixtape track, “YAMAZAKI” before ending the theme of colors with “Orange Drive.” As Yongguk made his way back to the stage for the encore, he performed his first encore stage with “Xie Xie,” a bilingual song sung in Korean and Chinese. The Chinese meaning of “Xie Xie,” is “thank you,” while this song gives a message of self assurance and power, and BABY were right there singing with him. Yongguk, again, thanked BABY for coming out to see him, and ended by asking BABY, “I want you to love yourself as much as you love me, alright?” It was then time for Yonguk’s final song, “See You Later;” As he said farewell to his fans, he thrilled them as he jumped off the stage and stepped up on the barricade structure to say up-close-and-personal goodbyes to fans in several sections of the barricade crowd. A big thank you goes out to YY Entertainment, My Music Taste, Bang Yongguk and Samuel Ku for allowing us the opportunity to provide coverage for this show! Find our full gallery here .

- TAN Shakes up SODA in Atlanta During TAN Asia Festival
2023.04.02 | Seven member boy group TAN (To All Nations) makes their way to the Atlanta Coliseum here in Duluth, GA!!! On April 2, 2023, the group consisting of Changsun, Jooan, Jaejun, Sunghyuk, Hyunyeop, Taehoon, and Jiseong were ready to meet and treat SODA (their fans) to a memorable night during their first ever US tour... FESTIVAL STYLE. Attendees were also able to experience an array of K-pop merch tables and food vendors while cheering on many stages of K-pop dance covers and musicians before meeting TAN! Leading the festival was none other than our first dance cover performer, Jey Noelle ! Noelle is no stranger to the stage, nor the K-Pop community. Although she may have hit the stage solo, fans were nonstop cheering as they enjoyed her K-pop medley cover consisting of "INCEPTION" (ATEEZ), "Same Scent" (ONEUS), "DU DU DU" (TAN), and "LOCO" (ITZY). Next to the stage was none other than Alan Z & Squalle ! For our #SoundLovers out there, this is a duo we feel you will enjoy. Their flow was insane with an overall spectacular stage presence! Be sure to stay tuned for more to come from this Actor, Musician, Writer in the future. The second dance cover stage was like no other! 4REIGN may have been 3rd to the stage, but they slayed with their dynamic performance of "MAVERICK" by The Boyz! Each member possessed an energy and passion that was just so aspiring and fun to watch. What a stage to experience right before meeting TAN! During a brief intermission, fans were able to enjoy listening to some fan favorites before the venue lights went dim and the intro video hit the big screen! It was the moment all of SODA was waiting for!!! TAN hit the stage strong with " Fix You ", the group's latest title track with cheers filling the venue without ceasing! They quickly followed with their well known debut song " Du Du Du " before introducing themselves one by one to their beloved fans. It was then time for the guys to turn on their charms during the stages of " My Heart " and Beautiful Lie ." SODA was enjoying this change of pace and the members couldn't hide their smiles any longer! After these two stages, each member of TAN would take turns picking and answering a fan question, written prior to the event, from the " Ask TAN " board before continuing on to the unit stages the guys had prepared. The first unit group consisted of Jooan, Sunghyuk, Hyunyeop and Taehoon who performed " Dream of You , " which was then followed by " Would You " showcasing Changsun, Jaejun and Jiseong. The guys thought it would be cute to troll each other on who had the winning unit stage song; However, for SODA, both stages were equally winners in this friendly unit competition! The guys then returned as a unified group in order to serenade fans with their beautiful ballad " It's You ." Throughout the venue you could see the tears in some of the fans' eyes, as well as arms waving side to side to the guys' breathtaking vocals! TAN planned a very special segment for SODA during their second fan engagement portion of the show. Prior to entering the venue, fans were asked to write down their phone numbers for an opportunity to receive a call from the members! We were lucky enough to be near a SODA who received the first call, on her birthday, with Changsun (who she has supported since his debut in 24K ). This segment was one of the sweetest moments of the night as seven (7) lucky fans approached the stage to embrace the members before receiving a gift bag that contained a signed album and other prizes. TAN then moved on to two fan favorites " Walking on the Moon " and " Louder " to end the night right, or so we thought. The stage was left empty only for a moment before the members returned with their encore songs " Adorable " and " Diving to the Top ," where they got closer to SODA before having to say our final goodbyes! Although it was time for SODA to say "goodbye" from the floor, the night was far from over. SODA began lining up for the various fan interactions that KYOO Live Entertainemnt , Kor.us Entertainment and KPop Nation Atlanta had planned! While some SODA were enjoying a fansign and taking selfies with the members of TAN, others were still on the dance floor enjoying an amazing Random Dance Play (RDP) that consisted of newer and older fan favorites. Following this fan favorite event, we seen killer stages from N.Bloom , Seoul of Atlanta and 4NK before ending the night with one final RDP. Check out our full gallery here .
- OnlyOneOf Gets Under The 'skinz' Of lyOns In Atlanta
On Thursday, April 6, 2023, the streets of Underground Atlanta saw more than its typical amount of foot traffic as casual listeners and lyOns, alike lined the streets to see OnlyOneOf (온리원오브) . 2023.04.06 | On December 3, 2022, almost three and a-half years since the group's debut, STUDIO PAV announced that OnlyOneOf would be holding a US Tour! lyOns already knew what to expect, as there is always talk about one of the biggest benefits that STUDIO PAV offers their attendees; and that is their No Line Rule. This way this rule is designed helps gives concert-goers peace of mind when trying to plan out their day to work, get their concert fits ready, make trips to their local K-Pop store, and attending pre-concert events by "prevent[ing] any overnight lines from happening because Top Tier Ticket Holders enter the venue according to their Queue Number." As, we entered The Masquerade (which has the potential to house a capacity of 1,000), you could say the place was PACKED! Attendees filled the floor spaces before taking to the stairs to fill in the triple layered balcony. As the crowd finally settled in their spots, OnlyOneOf ignited the venue's energy with a performance of their most recent title track " SeOul Drift ." As members KB, Rie, Yoojung, Junji, Mill and Nice took a moment to introduce themselves as a group and then individuals, you could see the excitement on their faces of being able to perform for lyOn. The group then started a long night of fan-favorites. The group first took us to " Savanna, " where the silhouetted palm trees illuminated by a sunset backdrop heightened the sensuous feeling of this performance. The energy in the venue changed as the heavy bass line and intense synths filled the venue as OnlyOneOf performed " Sage ( 구원) " before getting under the " skinz " of lyOns. There was then a brief intermission (FIRST FIT CHANGE!!!) where the members wanted to play a game of charades for lyOn. However, after some difficulties of trying to determine the word one the screen, they decided to do what boys do best and hold a competition to see who could jump the furthest across the stage. For the next stages of " dOra maar (English Version)," " chrOme hearts ," and "designer," lyOns absolutely melted our hearts by singing along in unison to each of these! Then it was time for the solo stages, where we started with Junji's performance of " Be Mine ," which was immediately followed by Mill's performance of " Beat " before arriving to the long awaited stage of " libidO ." Although the song received mixed feelings from fans and non-fans alike upon its release, you never would have guessed that was the case during their performance in Atlanta as roaring cheers and singing from the crowd filled the venue from from the first note until the lights when dark for the next stage. Then it's finally time for the final fit change before the encore stages and... CAKE!?!? That's right! As lyOn and the members of OnlyOneOf were l getting in position to take the ending concert group photo, Studio PAV team presented Junji (Junhyung, born 1998.04.06) with a birthday cake. The sweet act made Junji emotional, and although lyOns caught his emotional reaction, the lead vocalist and dancer tried playing it off by saying, "That's just sweat in my eyes." After he collected his emotions, the group photo was taken, and ending ments were made-- where the members expressed their gratitude and thanked lyOn for coming to watch their performance -- it was finally time for the encore! As the music for the first encore stage began, the venue was filled with the voices of Nine and lyOn who sang in unison, "You're my, You're my Angel." As lyOn continued to sing with OnlyOneOf for the entire song, the second encore, and final stage of the night was no different. lyOn's joined the members in ending their concert with a high-energy performance of their 2020 Fall hit single "a sOng Of ice & fire (얼음과 불의 노래)."

The EDM duo decided to join forces in 2015 and produce music while also making the choice to independently promote. After producing music as a hobby, the decision to turn it into an official project occurred in December of 2018; which formed what we now know to be High Tension, and gave us the first single Cray . Although our time with the duo was short, we did get to talk about how they were feeling about being on their first US Tour.

- [REVIEW] TRENDZ Finally Brings an End to Their [BLUE SET CHAPTER] Saga
On March 15, 2023, seven-member boy band TRENDZ put an end to their [BLUE SET] saga, which the group has been promoting since their debut on January 5, 2022. With the March 15th release of their second single album [BLUE SET CHAPTER] NEW DAYZ , we are finally seeing the year-long saga come to an end. With only one (1) year in the industry, they have been actively releasing music every other month, catching the public's attention with their powerful performances. The group, consisting of Havit, Leon, Yoonwoo, Hankook, ra.L, Eunil, and Yechan, made their highly anticipated debut on January 5, 2022 with the first installment of their [BLUE SET] saga, titled [BLUE SET Chapter 1.] TRACKS . This album’s title track, " TNT (Truth and Trust), " displayed a nostalgic old-school sound, the presence of a strong rap line and a fun melody that brings us to our toes. The second installment of the saga, [BLUE SET Chapter 2.] CHOICE , was released on June 8, 2022 with title track, " WHO [吼] ." This track displayed another nostalgic old-school sound, and a new perspective from the added bass and drum elements. The elements of "WHO [吼]" left us wondering what additional elements TRENDZ will add during their journey to finding their defining sound. The third installment of the [BLUE SET] saga, [BLUE SET Chapter 2] Unknown Code , was released November 12, 2022. TRENDZ finally found their defining sound and groundbreaking moment with the release of the title track," Vagabond ." "Vagabond" came to life through a collaboration with producer LEEZ, also known for having worked with prominent artists in the Korean music scene, such as ATEEZ, Dreamcatcher, Yoonha and N.FLYING. During the fourth, and final, installment to the [BLUE SET] saga, we hear Havit, Leon, Yoonwoo, Hankook, ra.L, Eunil, and Yechan highlight the group’s diverse talents during this three track, multi-filled genre, album. [BLUE SET Chapter.] NEW DAYZ takes us on a journey of fear, finding courage and making the choice to help those around us. " Nightmare " begins with a short eerie, dream-like piano intro, transitions, and settles into a dark R&B Pop sound. The genre, instrumentals and strong beats of this song ties into the concept of fearing the unknown. We find evidence of this throughout the lyrics, such as, “. In the album’s title track, " NEW DAYZ ," we find our courage to face our fears through the sporadic injected line “Don’t give up”. The M/V takes us through the boy’s journey of waking up from his dream and escaping from his false neverland. We can hear his determination in the song’s highlight line, “I dream of meeting you again beyond the end of this dream. I'm waiting for NEW DAYZ!” The final track of the album, " Fantasy ," brings an end to the [BLUE SET] saga, and the album’s journey. Fantasy incorporates a variety of beats that makes the flow of the song memorable and unique. This song expresses the inner sound of the boy who escaped fake neverland. The boy firmly decides to save his friends, who are still trapped in the fake neverland. TRENDZ’s unique sound and captivating style continue to make waves in the K-pop scene. They are definitely a name to remember in the industry. Special thanks to Laury and Moonlight PR !
- P1Harmony Makes History with Their P1USTAGE H: P1ONEER Tour Nashville Show
2023.02.12 | P1Harmony Makes History as the FIRST K-Pop Group to take on the world-famous Grand Ole Opry stage right here in Nashville, TN! After traveling to Atlanta for 99% of our concerts, Tennessee K-Pop fans were finally able to greet the members of P1Harmony in the state's capital city of Nashville. After the release of their fifth mini-album, Keeho, Theo, Jiung, Intak, Soul and Jongseob have made their way back to the U.S. for their second tour, P1ONEER to "always show [P1ECE] the new way and the new sound." Like many other K-Pop concerts, P1ONEER began with dimmed lights, powered on P1ECE Sirens (the group's official light stick), and the deafening screams of P1ECE as the opening VCR began to play. Look At Me Now, immediately followed, and P1ECE didn't hesitate to show their love and support for P1Harmony as they began cheering when Intak's voice thundered, "Are you ready, Nashville?!?" Next, P1ECE was welcomed with two fan-favorites - - the first being the rock version of the most recent album's anthem-like title track, Back Down; which was immediately followed by the group's famous title track from their second mini-album, Scared. The group then took a moment to introduce themselves with their well-known introduction phrase, "Plus Everything! Hello, we are P1Harmony." The boys took turns introducing themselves, taking the time to thank P1ECE for coming to the show on Super Bowl Sunday, and expressing their desire to "perform even harder" as they heard they were the first, ever, K-Pop group to perform on the Grand Ole Opry House stage. They continued the show with the more relaxed vibe of MeToo, a single released last August, that was written and composed by the group. P1ECE's energy could be felt coming alive again throughout the three-tiered venue as the group continued with hype songs Doom Du Doom, End It, and Black Hole. Next P1ECE enjoyed the members' solo and group unit stages, and the first member to perform was Theo. As he stood in the middle of the stage with nothing more than a mic stand and spotlight shining on him, his charismatic charms and smooth vocals were highlighted as he captivated P1ECE's attention during his cover of DEAN's 2016 release 21. Next up was Soul, as he performed his solo rendition of Jung Joonil's, Hug Me. Sitting on a stool on the right corner of the stage, the audience couldn't help but to give him their full undivided attention. This moment quickly seemed to end too soon as it transitioned to a unit state featuring Keeho, Jiung and Soul as they covered Michael Jackson's, Love Never Felt So Good. Jiung was sure to bring out his inner MJ with his solo dance, before the three members joined each other in the middle of the stage. Finally, rap duo, Intak and Jongseob, appeared in the middle of the risers to begin their performance of Bow Wow. As they began walking towards the end of the stage with mics in hand and fur coats on their backs, the cheers began to fill the venue. As they showcased their rapping skills and unstoppable energy, they ended the stage by rapping to each other in the middle. As Intak and Jongseob took a moment to change, the other members arrived in street-style outfits to greet P1ECE, once again, and talk about their solo stages. Soul and Theo asked P1ECE to sing along with them. Once Theo finished, Jiung wanted to "sing a country song that he had been practicing," and asked "P1ECE, do you know Home on the Range?" where he immediately started a beautifully smooth rendition of Home on the Range. Following the return of Intak and Jongseob, the show continued with more popular tracks including their debut song Siren, Mirror, and Follow Me. Next, P1ECE were asked to sing along and "dance along, too, if you know the moves" as they slowed things down with Gotta Get Back. It was apparent that P1Harmony was going to continue to have fun and more engaging moments with their BFFs until the end of the show as their most anticipated song of the night began. The love-filled tune BFF (Best Friends Forever) started and P1ECE''s voices filled the venue with enough emotion that even P1Harmony could feel the heartfelt lyrics of their BFFs. The concert continued with the high-energy Nemonade, where the venue experienced technical difficulties as the track stopped playing; which left P1Harmony, and P1ECE, to finish the fan-favorite in acapella, and the boys' mics were audibly on! Keeho made it a point to let fans know, "In two years, this has never happened. At least you knew we were singing live, right?" followed by a small chuckle. The group wanted to put on the best performance possible for P1ECE, so they chose to perform Nemonade, again, after the audio issues were fixed, followed by the not-so-secret-stage of Secret Sauce, and then anthem-like sound of Do iIt LIke This. Afterwards, a VCR of If You Call Me started playing, and it was apparent that P1ECE were having one of the best nights of their lives! They expressed their readiness for more exciting stages as their screams, and chants for "Piwon!" filled the venue in anticipation of the group's return to the stage. Sadly, there were only two more stages remaining before ending the high-energy filled night. However, that didn't stop P1ECE from cheering on P1Harmony with their screams while dancing along to Breakthrough and Speaker. These stages were then followed by the Ending Ments stage where the boys thanked everyone for attending and cheering them on throughout the night. Jongseob stole the stage by telling P1ECE they were "part of the harmony." And followed that with, "I have one question. Will you be my BFF?" To nobody's surprise, the venue was filled with screams confirming that Nashville P1ECE would indeed be Jongseob's BFF. The encore came soon after, and the boys were noticeably filled with happiness as they began their last segment of the night, "P1AY Harmony" by performing One and Only - - which brought on an undeniably bright energy from P1ECEf and P1Harmony - - as thy group made their way through the aisles, receiving gifts and interacting with P1ECE, before making their way back to the stage to end the night with AYAYA and the added, unexpected high-energy stage, That's It. The boys will continue their U.S. tour with only two stops remaining! So, P1ECE, don't miss your chance to see them in Austin on February 14, and Dallas on February 16.
