When the entire world of K-pop gathers on one stage.
From BoA, celebrating her 25th anniversary, to TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER) returning as headliners one year later, the Weverse Con Festival 2025 brought together the entire K-pop scene, uniting generations. One of the biggest standouts this year was the LED setup, which was even more spectacular than last year’s.
On June 1st, the Weverse Con segment of the Weverse Con Festival 2025 was held at Inspire Arena, located inside the Inspire Entertainment Resort in Jung-gu, Incheon.
Now in its third edition since its launch in 2023, the Weverse Con Festival is a global music event that transcends genres and generations to connect music fans from all around the world. “Weverse Con” is one of the festival’s three main stages, dedicated to indoor performances where artists focus on delivering high-impact shows. On day two, LUN8, P1HARMONY, UAU, TWS, BoA, LE SSERAFIM, and TXT took the stage.
The evening kicked off with LUN8, who opened with its track “Whip.” The group shared:
“It’s truly an honor for us to open ‘Weverse Con‘. The main theme this year is ‘Go Wild’, which basically means, ‘Let’s have a blast!’ We hope everyone has an amazing time.”
With confidence, LUN8 followed up with performances of “Wild heart,” “Super power,” and “Butterfly,” heating up the atmosphere.
“This is our first time at Weverse Con — thank you so much for your support. Being on a stage this big is such an honor. We came to give you our energy, but we’re the ones who ended up receiving so much from you.”
P1HARMONY lit up the stage with an explosive performance of “DUH!”, followed by “Pretty boy” and “Sad song”, blending power with playful charm.
“True to our reputation as a performance-driven group, we’ve prepared a set that lives up to it. Get up and enjoy the ride!”
They then launched into “Jump” and “Follow me”, actively engaging with the crowd—especially during “Follow me,” which is rarely performed live.
UAU, a sub-unit of Dreamcatcher, was up next. It marked their very first performance as a unit in Dreamcatcher’s eight-year career. They opened with “Sacrifice”, then shared:
“We’re a bit nervous—this is our first activity as a unit. It feels like going back to our roots. Thank you for welcoming us to Weverse Con.”
They confidently followed up with “2 Months,” “Good Luck,” and “Attitude,” showcasing their strong stage presence. Before their final song, the crowd shouted out:“UAU, fighting!” in support.
TWS took over next with “마음 따라 뛰는 건 멋지지 않아?”, bringing a bright, refreshing energy to the stage. After a dance break, they performed “마지막 축제”, then shared:
“Last year, we were really nervous. But thanks to that experience, we’ve grown—and we think it shows on stage now.”
They continued with “Lucky to be loved,” “Fire confetti,” and their fan-favorite hits “내가 S면 넌 나의 N이 되어줘” and “첫 만남은 계획대로 되지 않아,” getting the entire crowd singing along.
“We’ve prepared something special for this stage—stay tuned!”
The emotional highlight of the evening was the “Tribute Stage,” honoring a legendary figure in Korean pop music: BoA. CHAEWON and EUNCHAE of LE SSERAFIM introduced BoA with heartfelt respect, while UAU and TWS paid tribute with cover performances—“Better” by UAU and “Amazing kiss” by TWS—drawing loud cheers from the audience.
BoA then took the stage with “Hurricane Venus,” set against a dazzling and grand stage production.
“It’s an honor to be this year’s featured tribute artist. Thank you to CHAEWON and EUNCHAE for the lovely introduction, and to UAU and TWS for lighting up this stage.”
She added:
“It’s been 25 years since my debut. If I’ve made it this far, it’s all thanks to the unwavering love from you, my fans. I’m currently preparing a new album for August to mark this milestone—so please look forward to it.”
BoA closed her set with a live band, performing “Only one,” “No matter what,” “Atlantis princess,” and “No.1,”interacting warmly with the crowd throughout.
LE SSERAFIM, despite HUH YUNJIN‘s absence due to a back injury, delivered a solid performance with four members. They opened with “Intro: Chasing lightning”, followed by “Crazy”, and continued with powerful performances of songs like “Hot,” “Come over,” “Eve, Psyche and the bluebeard’s wife,” “Unforgiven,” and “Antifragile.”
“It’s our return to Weverse Con after a year. We’re so happy to be here, with our fans and so many others.”
Finally, TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER) wrapped up the night in spectacular fashion. As true headliners, they transformed the venue into what felt like a solo concert. They kicked things off with “Over the moon” in a bright, energetic atmosphere.
BEOMGYU shared:
“It’s such an honor to be headlining again.”
YEONJUN added:
“We’re performing with a live band, and you’ll even get to see some stages that have never been shown before.”
They went on to perform “0X1=LOVESONG,” “Deja vu,” “Danger,” as well as unit stages like “The killa” (Soobin & Yeonjun) and “Quarter life” (Beomgyu, Taehyun, Hueningkai). YEONJUN also wowed the crowd with his solo debut track “GUM”, full of charisma, and BEOMGYU unveiled his unreleased solo “Panic” for the first time.
TXT kept the energy going with “Growing pain,” “Higher than heaven,” “Miracle,” and “MOA diary.” Then YEONJUN said:
“That was fun, right? But our full concerts are even better. We performed 16 songs today, but at our last show, we did 34. We’ll always bring you our very best.”
He closed with:
“Get home safe, and we hope you leave with only great memories from tonight.”
One of the most striking aspects of this year’s festival was the extensive use of LED screens, which greatly enhanced the visual experience and perfectly complemented each artist’s vibe.
-
P1HARMONY featured booming sound effects with speaker-style LED visuals.
-
UAU created a musical theater atmosphere with red curtain backdrops.
-
TWS opened with a bright blue sky and transitioned into a glowing road effect, amplifying the freshness of their track.
-
For BEOMGYU’s “Panic,” the rising water LED effect deepened the emotional immersion.
-
During TXT’s “Growing pain,” LED visuals created a 3D illusion where members appeared to step out of the screen, synced perfectly with the lyrics.
However, there were a few drawbacks: the heavy reliance on LED visuals sometimes flattened the overall stage depth, and mismatched alignment on the side screens occasionally caused visual discomfort—especially during close-up shots where the LED seams didn’t line up properly.
