Fans were especially thrilled by the live debut of “UNDEFEATED,” their collaboration with the popular FPS game “VALORANT,” which added to the excitement of the evening.
Songs such as “TGIF” and “IYKYK” spread an infectious sense of unity throughout the venue, while the group’s performance of “Tippy Toes” and the emotionally charged “IN THE RAIN” showcased their technical prowess. A highlight of the concert was the nostalgic performance of “XG MOVE #1,” which had not been previously performed live. The crowd erupted in cheers, reflecting the anticipation and admiration for the group.
During their heartfelt interactions with fans, members MAYA and COCONA shone as remarkable rappers, and the group’s diverse talents were showcased with various sub-performances. The concert featured energetic renditions of “SHOOTING STAR,” “WOKE UP,” and “IS THIS LOVE,” which is currently trending as part of a major global campaign.
As the show concluded with an encore of “NEW DANCE,” heartfelt messages from the members resonated with fans. HARVEY expressed dreams realized since their trainee days, while COCONA shared gratitude for connecting with fans worldwide through their music. They even premiered their new single, “MILLION PLACES,” which captures the essence of their journey during the tour.
