Super Junior‘s Yesung successfully completed his solo concert “ELF=My Pride”

Super Junior’s Yesung successfully completed his solo concert.

Yesung held the ‘2025 YESUNG CONCERT [It‘s Complicated] in SEOUL’ at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 18th and 19th. The concert sold out completely, and the performance on the 19th, which was live streamed online through Beyond LIVE and Weverse, was simultaneously broadcast in 34 regions around the world, including the United States, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, and Indonesia.

This concert will be his first in 1 year and 3 months since the ‘Unfading Sense’ held in October 2023. As Yesung suggested the idea for the overall concept and setlist, he wittily introduced it by saying, “We’ve included everything you wanted to see. This is what ELF likes, right?” He caught people‘s attention by producing the complex emotional line felt in an ordinary day with several VCRs and also appearing in unique life acting.

Yesung started with the opening of ‘Small Things’, which combined the rich sound of the band session with splendid directing, followed by the refreshing ‘Between’, the emotional ‘Scented Things’, and the title song ‘It’s Complicated’, ‘There She Goes Again’, ‘Easy’, ‘Beautiful Paradox’, and ‘Curtain’, performing all the songs from his sixth mini-album that was released in November 2024.

He created a stage that the audience can enjoy together in various ways. From the ‘Pink Magic’ stage that added fun with balloons that flew freely following the hands of the standing area, to the ‘Don‘t Starve’ that gave a surprise gift of a healthy snack package, to the ‘It Has To Be You’ and ‘Let Me Kiss’ that led to an explosive sing-along, to the medley stage of Japanese songs such as ‘Because I Love You ~大切な絆~’(Daisetsuna Kizuna), ‘束の間の恋’(Tsukanomanokoi), they received good responses.

The fans who filled the auditorium enjoyed the performance to the rhythm while expressing their feelings for Yesung with a pink dress code and pearl sapphire blue fanlights. In response, Yesung also performed ‘Silhouette’ and ‘Slide Away’ as encore songs.

At the end of the performance, Yesung said, “I can stand on stage thanks to ELF, my pride. I prepared this with the hope that you will put aside complicated thoughts and be happy at least when you watch the performance. Next year will already be my 10th solo debut anniversary. I will continue to cherish the time we have together,” expressing his gratitude.

Yesung will continue his Asian tour in Bangkok on February 8, Hong Kong on the 22nd, Singapore on the 28th, Macau on March 2, Taipei on the 7th and 8th, Tokyo on April 4th and 6th, and Kuala Lumpur on the 12th.
