HIGHLIGHT
A successful solo concert series in Seoul.
The group HIGHLIGHT recently wrapped up a series of solo concerts in Seoul.
From July 11 to 13, HIGHLIGHT successfully held its solo concert “RIDE OR DIE” at the KSPO DOME in Seoul’s Olympic Park.
This marks the second consecutive year that HIGHLIGHT has performed solo at Korea’s iconic large-scale venue. With their unparalleled live vocals and spectacular stage production, the group delivered an exceptional experience, earning high praise from fans around the world. Their new setlist was also very well received.
The concert opened with “Chains,” the title track of their 6th mini album and the song that inspired the name of the concert itself. They followed with “Switch on” and “Shadow,” kicking things off with a dazzling opening. The group introduced the concept of RIDE OR DIE as “a moment to talk about the future we’ll build together.”
Indeed, with songs like “Dance with U,” “Drive,” and even the Japanese track “Hands up,” HIGHLIGHT performed a rare selection of songs they hadn’t sung live in a long time, showcasing a fresh side of their musical identity.
Their stagecraft stood out for its bold and creative elements: a high-rise platform that allowed them to lock eyes with fans all around during “Dream girl”, a lying-down intro for “12:30”, and a magical snow-like atmosphere during “비가 오는 날엔”, all of which delighted the audience and stimulated all the senses.
At the end of the show, the members shared:
“We spent a lot of time preparing, revising, and discussing everything… So seeing how much you’re enjoying it gives us even more courage. We’ll keep moving forward step by step with determination. Thank you for your continued support and belief in us.”
They proudly added:
“We’ll do our best to become the best artists for you. Keep coming to our concerts—we promise to keep giving you the very best performances.”
As HIGHLIGHT celebrates its 16th debut anniversary this year, the group reaffirmed its commitment to growing alongside fans, promising a future even brighter than its already iconic career.
Meanwhile, the “RIDE OR DIE” tour will continue in August and September, with stops in Taipei, Macau, Manila, Tokyo, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur.
