TXT
For its first concert in Paris, TOMORROW X TOGETHER brought us “Higher than heaven”!
For its first European tour, “TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR <ACT: PROMISE> – EP. 2 – IN EUROPE“, TXT stopped at the Accor Arena on March 30th. Invited by AEG France and BIG HIT MUSIC, KSTATION TV had the honor of attending this sensational concert.
As soon as we entered the venue, we could feel the intense energy of the MOAs (fandom name) who raised the temperature by singing in unison before the entrance of the five members of TXT. Amidst the cheers of the 20,000 MOAs present at the Accor Arena, SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN, and HUENING KAI kicked off the concert with “Over the moon“, “Deja vu“, “0x1=Lovesong (I know I love you)“, and “Devil by the window” to continue with a special performance.
For their first time in Europe, the members of TXT wanted to make a lasting impression by showcasing traditional Korean culture. Not only BEOMGYU wear a Hanbok for his remarkable dance solo, but the entire group wore it to perform a more traditional version of “Sugar rush ride” and “Farewell, neverland.” These performances were highly acclaimed by the audience, who took the opportunity to introduce the group to the legendary French cheering songs. These won the members’ hearts, who couldn’t resist inviting fans to shout and stomp their feet several times during the evening.
Throughout the concert, the members shared with us their joy at being in the city of love and meeting the French MOAs. They took advantage of a short break between “Resist (not gonna run away)” and “New rules” to declare their love for MOAs by shouting ” je vous aime (I love you)” throughout the arena while fans shouted ” moi aussi (Me too)” before continuing with “Lo$er=lo♡er“. But this wasn’t the only romantic song the group performed. As the members of TXT pointed out, what better way to sing “Anti-romantic” than in Paris? This touching performance left a particularly strong impression on us. The vocal harmony and the intensity of the members’ emotions resulted in a sublime ballad that plunged the arena into a moment suspended in time.
After this romantic escapade, we were able to discover the vocal power of the sub-unit of BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN, and HUENING KAI on “Quarter life” and the breadth of SOOBIN and YEONJUN‘s performing talents on “The killa (I belong to you)“, which perfectly introduces the third chapter of this concert.
Indeed, in this third chapter, TOMORROW X TOGETHER reveals a more mature image of its world. As energetic as ever, the members deliver powerful performances of iconic songs such as “Tinnitus“, “Back for more“, and “Good boy gone bad“, while also offering exceptional solos. TAEHYUN impressed us with a powerful dance solo, YEONJUN performed his solo track “Ggum” for the first time in France, and HUENING KAI delivered a dazzling drum solo.
As the end of the concert quickly approaches, SOOBIN is the last to show his solo: a sublime contemporary dance performance before continuing with the rest of the group with “Dreamer“, “Forty one winks“, and “I’ll see you tomorrow“, which will conclude the concert.
But the members of TXT aren’t ready to leave the stage yet! After making us dream with these three songs, the group came back for a festive and cheerful encore, just like the entire evening, with “Magic Island“, “Heaven“, and “Miracle“. The members thanked their fans for having waited so long for their visit to Europe and their unwavering support with a little surprise, a message in French to forever bind MOAs and TOMORROW X TOGETHER: “MOAs and TXT, united today as one. Where we swore to be forever, let us meet again“. A touching, shared moment, heightened by the surprise of the MOAs, who held up a similar banner, but written in Korean, leaving an unforgettable memory not only for the fans, but also for the members.
Finally, even though the MOAs and the TXT members refused to part ways, the concert ended in a joyful atmosphere with the songs “Happily ever after“, “Cat and dog” and “Moa diary (dubbadu wari wari)” as the group’s final declaration of love to its fans.
“It was our first time in Paris. You guys are the best. It will be a wonderful memory. I would love to come back to Paris. Will you be waiting for us? I’m sure we’ll see each other again.” – SOOBIN
“I really enjoyed today’s concert. I’ve been to Paris several times, so I feel comfortable here, but today was special; it was our first concert here. You guys were incredible. With this energy, we’ll be back in Paris soon with a new album, so look forward to it.” – HUENING KAI
“You guys are truly incredible. Your energy encouraged me today. Paris is a beautiful city, and it makes me want to come to another concert. Thank you, I love you.” – BEOMGYU
“We were wondering what you’d be like for our first concert, and you know how to have fun here. I really enjoyed Paris. It will be an unforgettable memory for me. I would love to come back, so look forward to it. I love you.” – YEONJUN
“Your enthusiasm is incredible. We can see how much fun you’re having. Today was only one night, but we’ll be here longer next time. We’ll definitely be back, so wait for us. I love you.” – TAEHYUN
Finally, what we will remember from this concert is the contagious good mood of the TXT members and the unfailing energy of the MOAs. With their vocal talents and exceptional performances, the group’s members offered an unforgettable show. In addition, the meticulous attention paid to the production, like the VCR and the sets, allowed us to immediately immerse ourselves in the unique universe of TOMORROW X TOGETHER, thus adding a new dimension to the concert and making it memorable for the fans. Once again, and for the first time in Paris, TXT offered a concert worthy of its reputation, and we can’t wait to see the group again in France!
Finally, after a concert in Amsterdam on March 31, TOMORROW X TOGETHER will continue its world tour at Anabuki Arena Kagawa, Japan, on April 12 and 13.
