The band QWER (QWER/Chodan, Magenta, Hina, Siyeon) has released group and individual photos from their first fan concert ‘QWER The 1st Fan Concert ’1, 2, QWER!‘’(hereafter ‘1, 2, QWER!’).

First, in the group photo, the four members have braided each other‘s hair and connected them to complete a puzzle piece. As an extension of the profile image that QWER revealed when they made their official debut, the members’ stronger teamwork and solidarity are expressed in the pose of holding each other‘s hands.

The individual photos were taken against the backdrop of a simple horizon studio, making each member’s expressions more three-dimensional. The band‘s identity was expressed by using each position instrument, such as drums, bass, guitar, and headset, as props, and the members confidently stared at the camera, allowing a glimpse of the musical growth they will show at the fan concert.

‘1, 2, QWER!’ is QWER’s first fan concert since their debut, and the title of the concert was borrowed from the lyrics in the introduction of ‘Addiction to Worries’. It contains their aspirations to start off 2025 strongly with the Rock Crabs (fandom name) who have sent them enthusiastic love and support since their debut.

QWER, which debuted in October of last year, has earned the title of ‘Favorite Girl Band’ by consecutively entering the upper ranks of major domestic music charts with ‘Discord’, ‘Addiction to Worries’, and ‘My Name is Malgeum’. ‘Worry Addiction’ has proven both musicality and popularity by being ranked #1 on YouTube‘s list of the most popular Korean songs of 2024. Thanks to their popularity, QWER has won trophies at major domestic award ceremonies such as the ‘2024 K-World Dream Awards’, ‘2024 Korea Grand Music Awards’, ‘2024 MAMA AWARDS’, and ‘Melon Music Awards 2024’.

QWER will be holding their first fan concert ‘1, 2, QWER!’ on January 25-26, 2025 at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Tickets for the concert will go on sale on December 30 at 8 p.m. through YES24 and KREAM.
