After the ’Tearful Fool‘ and ’Empty Road‘ stages, familiar faces showed up and raised the decibels of the cheers. Daesung, who went on stage both days, drove the concert hall into a frenzy with his eloquence and refreshing singing ability. On the first day of the concert, G-Dragon especially surprised everyone by coming on stage, and the ’HOME SWEET HOME‘ stage where the three artists came together created explosive cheers.

Taeyang said ’Shwung! (Shoong!) continued the heightened atmosphere with ‘ ’Linga Linga‘, and filled the concert with various songs such as ’Eyes, Nose, Lips‘ ’Superstar‘ ’Beautiful‘. Also, he reappeared amidst the fans’ ’chants‘ for an encore and sang ’Nightfall‘ ’In My Heart‘, ending the concert in a wave of emotion.

After the concert, Taeyang said, “Please give a round of applause to the concert staff who worked hard both in visible and invisible places for this concert, and to our The Black Label family. I would like to thank the fans who came to see me yesterday and today, and I hope to meet the fans often on more stages in the future,” he said, expressing his gratitude and feelings.

In his first solo concert and tour in 7 years, and his encore concert in Korea after 5 months, Taeyang showed off his consistent performance skills, stronger singing ability, and unrivaled stage presence. In addition, he showed the side of an artist who truly transcends genre limitations through a more diverse setlist, from ballads to dance songs.

Taeyang plans to continue his active music activities in 2025 by going on tours in various cities such as Bangkok, Macau, and Manila to meet global fans.
