On the occasion of his solo debut LEE MIN HYUK, BTOB, offers 2 concerts, the time of a weekend, open to fans and the press.
Guest at the event KSTATION TV is on site for the first concert. The hall is crowded 30 minutes before the show begins. With seating for some 1,500 people, the YES24 live hall is on the verge of cracking, as fans are tight against each other. Because fans, the versatile BTOB’s rapper, is far from missing. It’s in a good mood, that while waiting for the show to begin, the fans start together the songs of their idol that we hear in the speakers.
But a little silence the show begins. It is with a video revealing LEE MIN HYUK in a hotel room, business man who manages his schedule and looking for his identity as the show begins.
A very futuristic light illuminates the scene and the singer appears on a red background in his bad boy outfit on the music of “HUTAZONE intro“. Flames on the edge of the stage heats the room while the audience is already very hot.
The next title is “Do you know who I am” on which the artist manages with rap, song and dance. Fast and charismatic, LEE MIN HYUK walks on stage with nonchalant mastery.
This first part in opening, made raise the temperature of at least 25 degrees. LEE MIN HYUK then speaks for the first time. Having fun screaming fans, he comes with a sweet voice to finish with an amused look
“It’s MIN HYUK, did you want to see me?“
When he appears on duplicate screens, fans scream to blow up their vocal chords. What’s better than LEE MIN HYUK? Two MIN HYUK of course! LEE MIN HYUK explains to his fans that he will reveal his different facets during this concert.
He continues with the title “Purple rain” by asking his fans to sing with him. He just needs to talk to be mega sexy. He will give the microphone to the audience with his little tender smile.
On the title “Fallin” the atmosphere is more amused and good child with back dancers dressed in middle school. MIN HYUK knows how to give to his fans, making them hearts with his arms, the large screens adorning many butterflies.
The title “아무렇지 않은 척” reveals another image of him, lying on a sofa, head on the knees of a dancer, he also masters his acting through his expressions. How not to find it beautiful from every angle.
For this second moment of speech, LEE MIN HYUK admits being very stressed, he seems to have been wrong in the lyrics of the previous title, and he asks the fans, in a very cute way, to kindly excuse him. Because usually the singer only sings his part within BTOB songs. MIN HYUK makes the assembly laugh by announcing that the press has said that it is doing everything right and that it comes just before being mistaken. Advertising “얼굴 도 잘하고 … 몸 도 잘 해?” he continues to make everyone laugh because one has the impression that he doesn’t believe it himself. With a smile he says
“even if I don’t work too hard, I’m good at everything, right?“
Back to the stage with the title “Stay” and “About time“, the artist is highlighted by the camera games.
To follow on the next part, a video shows us the 2 sides of MIN HYUK, the rebel and the businessman looking for answers. Then the title “낙화” (in Japanese) gives us a performance so intense and poignant that fans forget to shake their lighsticks. The title “Dear moon” will also be sung in Japanese.
New moment of exchange talked with the fans. The audience told him to be careful because he admits to having a sore throat at the moment. And when we ask this same audience what is the most important facet of MIN HYUK it is undoubtedly the word “SEXY” which is shouted. Dressed in a large bathrobe, the singer will play to make the fans cry by starting to open it and, by a play of light and shadows through the curtains, it will change. Nothing but the sexy shadow of the singer seduces his fans.
This little game of sexy attitude will lead us to the title “할 말이 있어” which must be said is “scandalously sexy”. The two tracks following “All day” and “너도 나도” which are more RnB and Funky, brings MIN HYUK to wiggle by performing groovy choreographies.
These moments being intense, the singer needs a few minutes to catch his breath, wipe the rolling drops on the side of his face. He took the opportunity to tell the audience not to hurry to each other and back slightly to the back of the stage to better enjoy the concert.
The show resumes slowly with this moment “Ballad” with the titles “꿈 인가 봐요” and “Waiting for you“. Before MIN HYUK dressed in a blue electric suit, the jacket just closed by a button on his bare chest, come back for a moment of dance performance. The singer exposes his talents as a dancer.
We are already at the last moment of speech, the time to replace his microphone, he hopes to be someone cool to have his dancers. He also admits to have almost fallen from the scene 3 songs before. LEE MIN HYUK asks who comes back tomorrow and half of the room will raise his hand. The most fun is that suddenly we hear:
“형, 섹시예요, 섹시하다 (Hyung you are sexy, you have the sexy attitude)”
These are the fan boys who proclaim these compliments. A small photo with the public before the last titles.
But we arrive at the song that everyone is waiting for, his main title “YA” on which the audience literally ignites. And will end up burning during the last 10 seconds when his jacket will unbutton.
We will end the concert with the titles “별” and “오늘 밤에“.
LEE MIN HYUK knew in a single solo album “HUTAZONE” to convince his public by revealing its different facets. Singer, rapper, dancer LEE MIN HYUK is what we call a performer.
The word of our reporter: If MIN HYUK was not so talented, his “body roll” could almost overshadow his many talents
