KAI’s KAION Concert in Singapore – A Night of Eternity and Emotion

Singapore, On 21 June 2025 (Saturday), EXO’s KAI made his long-awaited return to Singapore for the 2025 KAI SOLO CONCERT TOUR, IN SINGAPORE, held at The Star Theatre at 5:30 PM. The excitement in the air was undeniable as fans—EXO-Ls—gathered to witness the dance king’s magnetic stage presence in person once again. From the opening moments to the final goodbye, KAI delivered a show that was as unforgettable as it was emotional.

KAI kicked off the night with his signature charm, joking that Singapore’s weather was hotter than he had expected. But little did the audience know—his performances would prove to be just as fiery. Performing a total of 20 songs, KAI flawlessly showcased his top solo hits including “Mmmh,” “Peaches,” “Rover,” and “Wait on Me.” Each performance was infused with precision, passion, and poise, reminding everyone exactly why he holds the coveted ‘centre’ position in EXO.

From sultry R&B tracks to high-energy dance numbers, KAI proved his versatility as an artist. His dance moves were nothing short of breathtaking—sharp, crisp, and effortlessly fluid. The stage transformed with every song, with KAI adapting seamlessly to each mood and sound. Beyond the choreography and vocals, he brought emotion and storytelling into every moment, making the concert feel less like a performance and more like a personal journey shared with the audience.

Of course, no KAI concert would be complete without his signature fashion. Living up to his reputation as a global style icon, each stage outfit was more stunning than the last. Whether he was draped in a luxurious red outfit or sporting bold, edgy cuts, KAI exuded elegance and confidence that only he could pull off so naturally.

Midway through the show, KAI took a heartfelt moment to explain the meaning behind the name KAION. He shared that it is a blend of “KAI” and “AION,” the Greek word for eternity—signifying his desire for a never-ending connection with his fans. On this stage, he said, he was declaring the beginning of that eternity. The crowd erupted into applause, touched by his sincerity.

Before the concert came to a close, fans had a surprise of their own. While KAI was backstage preparing for the final segment, the entire theatre joined together to sing his latest single, Adult Swim. Listening from behind the curtain, KAI was visibly moved when he returned. Teasing the crowd, he joked, “I know some of you didn’t sing—but it’s okay,” flashing his signature grin.

Adding to the emotional night, fans raised a beautiful banner that read, “Let’s dive in an endless dream with KAI.” It was a perfect reflection of the atmosphere in the theatre—dreamlike, heartfelt, and full of love.

As the lights dimmed and KAI waved his final goodbye, one thing was clear: KAION wasn’t just a concert. It was a promise. A celebration of artistry, connection, and a shared eternity between KAI and his fans.

This nostalgic segment was particularly heartwarming, with fans erupting in cheers as the group reintroduced themselves as BEAST, creating a magical, sentimental atmosphere. The night was filled with iconic tracks that spanned over a decade of their career, proving that Highlight’s music is truly timeless.

Highlight’s interaction with the audience was a key highlight of the night. Between performances, the members shared personal anecdotes about their time in Singapore, revealing charming and relatable sides of themselves. Yoseop shared his new interest in photography, Gikwang talked about hitting the gym, and Dongwoon delighted fans with his love for Singaporean food, specifically bak kut teh. These moments of connection added a personal touch to the concert, making the fans feel seen and appreciated.

What made the concert truly special was the group’s genuine affection and gratitude towards their fans. Despite being veterans in the industry, Highlight’s humility shone brightly as they repeatedly thanked the audience for their unwavering support. The concert wrapped up with each member expressing their hopes to return soon, highlighting their deep connection to Singaporean fans. The closing message displayed on the screen, “As long as you’re here, we’ll sing eternally,” perfectly encapsulated the emotional bond between Highlight and their fans.

The “Lights Goes On Again” concert was not just a performance but a celebration of Highlight’s journey, their growth as artists, and their enduring relationship with fans. It was a night filled with laughter, nostalgia, and powerful performances that reaffirmed Highlight’s place in the hearts of their fans.

MAMAMOO+ successfully held their first fan concert “TWO RABBITS CODE” in Singapore

15 November 2023 – MAMAMOO+, the official sub-unit of award-winning K-pop girl group MAMAMOO which comprises of main vocalist Solar and rapper Moon Byul, successfully held their first fan concert “TWO RABBITS CODE” at The Star Theater. The venue was filled with fans who have missed the duo dearly since their last show back in February.

The concert started with a short piece of Aniri, which refers to the narration or spoken elements of traditional pansori, a Korean genre of musical storytelling. With the cheering of their fans, the girls appeared on stage performing “CHICO MALO” from their first single album, Act 1, Scene 1. They greeted the fans warmly, saying that they missed Singapore Moomoo (fans of MAMAMOO) so much and is glad to be back again. As the announced dress code for Singapore was red, Solar jokingly said that everyone blended in with the red chairs therefore she couldn’t see them clearly. She mentioned that they have prepared a lot for this concert and hope everyone can have fun till the end.

The duo showcased their impressive vocals and harmony with “I LIKE THIS”, “STARRY NIGHT”, “STARRY SEA” and “BADA BOOM”. While performing the song “GGBB”, technical errors caused the songs to be interrupted. However, they showed professionalism and continued the remaining parts without music accompaniment.

During the solo stages, Solar blew the audience away with “ADRENALINE”, a song from the Vincenzo OST and she captivated the fans with her flawless high notes. She also performed her solo hits “SPIT IT OUT” and “HONEY”.

Moon Byul showed her stunning vocals through the song “DDU DDU DDU” and “SHUTDOWN”, which was released in her second extended play and she also performed “C.I.T.T (Cheese in the Trap)”. She charmed the fans with her cuteness and smooth dance moves.

An interactive segment, “TWO RABBITS CARD CORNER” was specially prepared by the duo where fans can raise either the white or green card to match the answers of the members. A total of three questions will be asked and their aim is to match at least two questions. If they succeed, they will be able to present the fans with a gift. For the first question on choosing to take photos at only one of Singapore’s representative photo spots, both Solar and Moon Byul chose ‘Eating Marina Bay Sands as if it’s a baguette’ over ‘Drinking water from the Merlion Statue’. Moon Byul explained that she thought posing as if to eat a baguette would be easier.

The second question was to choose between ‘Chilli Crab’ or ‘Pepper Crab’ and undoubtedly, both of them together with 90% of the audience chose ‘Chilli Crab’. Solar asked the fans if they like chilli crab and if they will eat it everyday and fans replied they like it but no as it’s too expensive. She wittily commented in English, “Ah, expensive… Singapore please, cheaper cheaper!”

For the last question, it was to choose the song which they want to hear Singapore Moomoos singing along to. They didn’t match this time round, Solar chose ‘TWO RABBITS’ whereas Moon Byul chose ‘DANGDANG’. Moon Byul explained that she believes Singapore Moomoos will know the song and might have practice beforehand, therefore she wants to hear it. The duo then sang the chorus of ‘DANGDANG’ together with Singapore Moomoos.

As they managed to win the game, they prepared the random dance challenge as a gift for the fans. They also surprised the fans with a dance medley of k-pop hits such as “SPICY”, “QUEENCARD” , “SUPER SHY” and “I AM”.

After singing “SAVE ME”, “I LOVE YOU TOO” and “LLL”, Moon Byul expressed that they felt so ecstatic to be able to visit Singapore fans, they will never forget all the love they received and make sure to pay back to them. While she was talking, she spotted some fans pulling out something below their seats. She teased the fans, saying “Did you all miss the timing?” and the fans laughed it off. She told Solar that they should close their eyes and turn their backs so that the fans can prepare it again. The fans then managed to raise their banners successfully, with the words “I have always loved you, I love you and I will love you so let us make sure to be with each other forever.” Both of them were touched by the sweet gestures and expressed their gratitude. Solar urged the fans to stay healthy so that they can see each other for a longer time.

When they finished singing the “last” two songs “TWO RABBITS” and “DANGDANG”, fans shouted for an encore and they returned to the stage singing “DINGGA” and “PROMISE YOU”. The duo even went down the stage to interact with their beloved fans. They then ended the concert perfectly with the hit song “UM OH AH YEH”. 

Thank you CK STAR Entertainment for the media invitation.

G-IDLE Free-ty Tour in Singapore: Energetic and Unforgettable

29 November 2023 – Neverlands filled Singapore Indoor Stadium with so much energy. The floor was packed with Neverlands who waited a year to see their favourite idol again in Singapore. G-IDLE’s Free-ty Tour last stop in Singapore was an electrifying and empowering experience that resonated with the city’s K-pop enthusiasts. As the lights dimmed and the stage came alive with vibrant hues, the crowd erupted into an exhilarated frenzy, heralding the beginning of an unforgettable musical journey.

The group, composed of Soyeon, Miyeon, Minnie, Yuqi, and Shuhua, graced the stage with an infectious charisma that instantly captivated Neverlands. Their opening performance was a medley of some of their greatest hits, such as, “DUMDi DUMDi” setting the tone for an evening filled with dynamic choreography and impressive vocals.

What stood out most was G-IDLE’s unwavering commitment to delivering a flawless live performance. Each member showcased their individual talents while maintaining an incredible group synergy. Soyeon’s rap verses were delivered with unwavering confidence, while Miyeon and Minnie’s vocals soared, captivating the audience with their range and emotive delivery. Yuqi, and Shuhua’s stage presence added layers of dynamism, completing the ensemble’s powerful and synchronized performance.

The concert’s setlist featured a diverse range of tracks that showcased the group’s versatility. From the pulsating beats of “DOLLAR ($$$)” to the anthemic energy of “LATATA” and the more introspective tones of “LION,” G-IDLE effortlessly navigated through different moods and musical styles.

During a segment where G-IDLE sat together to take a photo with Neverlands raised a banner with the words, “Only the moment we’re together my delight”. The members were touched by the sweet gesture and requested for Neverlands to raise the banners for the photo. The intimate moment between Neverlands and G-IDLE was memorable.

Beyond the spectacle, what truly made the Free-ty Tour in Singapore special was the genuine connection between G-IDLE and their fans. The members frequently engaged with the audience, expressing their gratitude and sharing how it was special to be ending their free-ty tour in Singapore, just like their previous tour.

The concert culminated in a heart-pounding encore, leaving the audience on an exhilarating high. As G-IDLE walked off the stage, their energy never faded away.  G-IDLE’s Free-ty Tour wasn’t just a concert; it was an affirmation of empowerment, a celebration of music, and an indelible memory etched into the hearts of Neverlands who were lucky enough to witness their performance.
