“Olympic Hall is Small” X-Division Heroes, New World Tour Begins Powerfully(Comprehensive)[DA : On-Site]
Running nonstop for over 3 hours, burning white.The band Xdinary Heroes(XH)and their fandom Villains became one and filled the Olympic Hall with heat.
On the 5th at 5PM, Xdinary Heroes held the last performance of their new world tour ‘Xdinary Heroes 〈 Beautiful Mind 〉 World Tour’ (〈Beautiful Mind〉, hereinafter referred to as ‘Beautiful Mind’) Seoul concert at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul.This Seoul concert was held for four days starting on the 2nd, and the final performance on the 5th was also simultaneously live streamed online through the Beyond LIVE platform.
On this day, Xdinary Heroes opened with “Beautiful Life, “ the title song of their 6th mini-album “Beautiful Mind, “ which was released in March and has the same name as their concert.They showed off explosive energy as they nonstop performed “XYMPHONY, “ “Bicycle, “ “Bad Chemical, “ “LOVE and FEAR, “ and “FIGHT ME.”
After finishing the opening stage, Jung Soo said to the Villains who filled the Olympic Hall, “We met last November and we’re happy to meet again in the spring.We prepared four concerts as much as you wanted to see us.” Geon Il explained, “We recently made a comeback and the name of the tour is the same as the album name.We put all the beautiful things that XDIZ thinks of in the album and prepared the concert the same way.” Odd drew cheers from fans by saying, “We put our ambitions for the world tour in the opening video.Can you feel it?” Gaon also encouraged fans ‘active participation by saying, “Today’s concert is a stage that you all have to create together.”
This concert was designed with a setlist that allowed visitors to enjoy a wide musical spectrum of Xdinary Heroes, from rock ballads to heavy metal.They performed songs such as the title song “Night before the end” from their 5th mini album “LIVE and FALL, “ the title song “iNSTEAD ! (Feat.YB Yoon Do Hyun)” from their digital single “Open ♭ eta v6.4” featuring YB Yoon Do Hyun, and “PLUTO” from their 4th mini album “Livelock, “ which has established itself as a must-listen song for K-pop listeners.
They also prepared a variety of songs from their 6th mini album, ‘Beautiful Mind’.They performed the title song ‘Beautiful Life’, as well as other songs, ‘FIGHT ME’, ‘more than i like’, ‘Diamond’, and ‘George the Lobster’.In particular, ‘George the Lobster’, which ranked first in a survey conducted with the Villains, drew a hot response from the Villains.
Not only the 6th mini album, but also the focus was on the tracks from their previous albums rather than the title songs, and they caught everyone’s attention by presenting special live performances that can only be seen at concerts.The performances included ‘Paint It’, ‘FEELING NICE’, ‘more than i like’, ‘Walking to the Moon’, ‘Dreaming Girl’, ‘No Matter’, ‘MONEYBALL’, etc.
X-Division Heroes boasted stage manners and solid live skills that were further enhanced by the expanded concert hall.The concert lasted well over 3 hours.While each member’s various solo performances added to the fun of watching, Gun-il especially opened the stage with ‘Sucker Punch !’ and controlled(?) the villains with just one drumstick.
At the end of the performance, Geon-il said, “It’s already the 4th day, but I don’t know why time is passing so quickly.When I first heard that we would be performing for 4 days, I thought, ‘It’ll be long, ‘but looking back, it feels really short.I did my best on every stage, and I did my best today, too, but I think I have more than 2% regrets.I thought,’ I should have played the drums more excitedly, ‘and’ I should have had more fun with the Villains, ‘but I’ll make up for that on the last stage.”
He confessed, “I don’t think I’ve ever felt as much mental pressure as I did during this performance.The setlist was so hard that I had to rest and leave after half of the setlist when I was preparing for the ensemble.Now that I’m done, I feel relieved and happy.” He continued, “There was a memorable moment during today’s performance.During the pre-chorus of ‘Fireworks Night,’ I made eye contact with Junhan and he was smiling at me.He’s a friend whose default expression is blank.I was paying attention because my arm hurt so much, but Junhan’s bright smile melted away all my pain and tension.It’s amazing how a smile can change someone.I thought I should be someone who can give Villains that kind of smile.I’ll keep smiling for you all, so I hope you’re happy too.Everyone has their own pain and hardships, but I feel grateful that my music and performance can enter your lives and become a source of strength and endurance.”
He continued, “Yesterday, PD Park Jin-young came to see us, and what he said during the concert was, ‘Singers always want to do a concert.We can only do a concert if there are people who buy tickets and come to see us,’ and those words really touched my heart.In the past, this place was often empty during our concerts, but seeing it full today made me feel grateful.We can make music because you came to see us and will come to see us again.Thank you.”
Jeong-su said, “It was a long four-day performance if it was long, and a short one if it was short.It was a challenging performance that was both difficult and enjoyable.” He added, “I feel regretful that I didn’t approach it in a professional manner.Since I’m someone who pursues perfection, I felt regretful, but I finished the performance well, and even when I sang with an unhealthy throat, you always looked at me and said you were good and thankful.I thought that my job was to give you the best gift through our music and stage.I was able to make it to the last performance thanks to you all who enjoyed it to the end.I hope we can continue to create fun performances together in the future.”
Gaon said, “I have mixed feelings.About three times as many Villains filled this concert as the first concert.During the introduction on the 4th, the lights came on and I saw countless heads, which was beautiful and pretty.It had a touching resonance.” He continued, “I confess that I was weak-willed this year.I didn’t know what to do with my life.When I was on stage, it all showed.I decided to change because I thought that not only me but also the people who like me would have a hard time.I decided to spend time for myself and invest in myself.I decided to believe in myself.The me who used to be weak has stood tall for 4 days.I will make music with these friends until I die.”
Odd expressed his sincerity by saying, “It was a really fun day.The 4-day concert was our first, and we had a lot of worries and concerns about the set list, but our cute Mole Villains thank you.Thank you for accepting everything and enjoying it with us.” Junhan said, “When I listen to or see music or pictures, I don’t expect them to understand it all at once, but I keep making them.I’m grateful that more and more people are interested in it.Thank you for trying to understand enough and giving me love that isn’t easy.”
Finally, the lead singer said, “It’s been 3 years since we met.Looking at the Olympic Hall full of you all backstage, I wondered if there would ever be a day when this concert hall would become too small.I want to say ‘bye-bye’ to this concert hall after today’s performance.How great would it be if we could go and play somewhere bigger? Fighting, have fun today, and don’t get sick until the day you come back.Live hard, and when Exidz returns, we can meet again,” and promised to meet again next time.
Starting with the Seoul concert, Xdinary Heroes will be holding solo concerts in Bangkok on the 17th, Kuala Lumpur on the 31st, Busan on June 14th, Jakarta on the 21st, Surabaya on the 25th C Taipei on July 11th, Daegu on the 20th, Singapore on the 26th, Brooklyn on August 2nd, Washington D on the 5th, Atlanta on the 8th, Irving on the 10th, Los Angeles on the 14th, and San Jose on the 16th.They are also planning to perform at the large-scale American music festival ‘Lolapalooza Chicago’ for the first time since their debut this summer.
