The band CATCH THE YOUNG had a special 1st anniversary since their debut.

CATCH THE YOUNG (San E, Kihoon, Namhyun, Junyong, Jungmo) held their 1st anniversary concert 1ST ANNIVERSARY CONCERT ‘DREAM IT’ at the KT&G Sangsang Madang Hongdae Live Hall in Seoul on the 10th.

‘DREAM IT’ is a concert commemorating the 1st anniversary of CATCH THE YOUNG‘s debut, which has established itself as a next-generation band powerhouse. The setlist was filled with Catch The Young’s cute and quirky imagination, fitting for the concert title of the same name as their first single ‘Dream It’, released last August.

Catch The Young first gave a confident greeting with ‘My Own Way’, a track from their debut album, and then presented beautiful sounds to the fans who attended the concert with hidden masterpieces ‘On the Way to Meet You’ and ‘Memory Manipulator’.

Catch The Young, who met their fans for the first time in about 3 months since their solo concert ‘Dear Next Generation, Catch The Young’, held last August, captured the eyes of their fans with higher tension than ever. Especially, the full band sound that became even stronger during the short break, the fantastic instrument performance, and the youthful visuals led to the cheers of Catcher (official fandom name).

Amidst the fans‘ congratulations on their 1st debut anniversary, Catcher the Young presented excitement and overwhelming emotions with lyrical songs such as ‘Voyager’, ‘Talking to Myself’, and ‘Stay By My Side’. They also delivered pleasant energy with the rocking sound on stage with ‘Sentimental Journey’, ‘Cactus Boy’, and ‘The Legend’.

They specially celebrated their 1st debut anniversary by generously pouring out their love for their fans with their first debut fan song, ‘Be the Light (1101)’. The previous title song ‘Dream It’, ‘YOUTH!!!’ stages also exploded with Catch the Young’s unique Young energy, combined with the bouncy band performance.

The fan concert that day was completed with even more meaning with the members‘ solo song stages that fans had been waiting for. The members showed their presence as ‘all-rounders’, performing their vocal and instrumental skills 100% live.

In addition, Catch the Young actively communicated with fans through a custom t-shirt that they made themselves and a 1st anniversary photo raffle event, sharing the emotion of their 1st debut anniversary.

Lastly, Catch the Young said, “Thanks to Catcher, I am happily pursuing music. “I am so grateful to the fans who made my first debut anniversary meaningful,” he said, expressing his feelings.
