The album SKZHOP HIPTAPE ’合 (HOP)‘(합 (합)) which has ranked 1st for 6 consecutive times on the US Billboard ’Billboard 200‘ opened with a splendid performance with the title song ’Walkin On Water‘(워킨온 물), and as a song from the same album, ’Bounce Back‘(바운스백), which the performance was revealed for the first time, as well as ’Chk Chk Boom‘(치치벅움), ’MIROH‘(미로), etc. presented a vivid live performance of the group‘s representative songs. Also, following the famous songs ’Charmer‘, ’I Like It‘, the setlist was enriched with ’I am YOU‘, ’Voices‘, which delighted fans after a long time, and ’Garyeongjoo‘, which was performed for the first time on stage.
There was also a special stage that could only be seen at this fan meeting. It was a time for the eight members to take turns singing solo songs from the ’合 (HOP)‘ album. Felix performed ’Hold my hand (한), I.N. performed ’Youth (리노)‘ (유스), Changbin performed ’Like that, slowly, us (승민)‘, Bang Chan performed ’So Good (현진)‘ (소굿), Han performed ’Railway (방찬)‘ (레일웨이), Lee Know performed ’HALLUCINATION (아이엔)‘ (홀루시션), Hyunjin performed ’Unfair (필릭스)‘ (운페어), and Seungmin performed ’ULTRA (창빈)‘ (ULTRA), showing off solo stages that sparkled with their unique charms, and the concert hall was filled with cheers that felt like they were going to explode.
● A group with a great concept, the Clock Tower Fairies with big smiles
The new production and diverse composition were also points of interest in this fan meeting. As a ’ concept gourmet group‘, Stray Kids, who have previously tried out various concepts in their official fan meetings, stood in front of STAY (fandom name: STAY) this time, transformed into eight fairies guarding a clock tower. In particular, the high-quality opening video, which has become one of the trademarks of Stray Kids fan meetings, immersed the audience into the concept with its visual beauty and solid storyline, as if watching a sci-fi movie. The members, who appeared riding on a giant staircase that came down from the sky, were proud, saying, “We have prepared new concepts, composition, and everything from the opening stage to the appearance.”.
They further delighted fans with different games, talks, and encore stages every day during the three performances. In the corner where STAY performed missions requested directly, they showed off their lovely charms with Orange Caramel’s ’Shanghai Romance‘ Challenge, and Girls‘ Generation’s ’Kissing You‘ Challenge where they danced while holding sweet candies like chocolate to celebrate Valentine‘s Day. There was also a corner where they could meet the mischievous and playful Stray Kids. They divided into teams and played various games, and showed a cute and adorable appearance with SKZOO, who expressed the eight members as animal characters, putting smiles on the fans’ faces.
In the encore, they visited every part of the audience singing ’Walkin On Water (HIP Ver.)‘. They made eye contact with fans who always send them so much love, greeted them, and expressed their gratitude without holding back. Stray Kids and Stay, who met again 11 months after their fourth official fan meeting in March last year and 5 months after their last offline concert, completed another precious memory with an incredibly happy time. The members said, “It‘s been a long time since we last met. I always feel that time flies, but today was especially so. We were so happy and proud for the past 3 days. The way you looked at us with warm and loving eyes touched my heart and I don’t think I‘ll ever forget it. I hope this fan meeting will remain vivid in your memories for a long time. We will continue to move forward to become an even cooler Stray Kids, so please take good care of us in the future. We are also preparing a lot of things this year and are sincerely working hard to reach you, so please look forward to it.” I love you”.
