WINNER
A memorable return to the stage, filled with energy and emotion.
WINNER once again proved the strength of their group with flawless live performances and uplifting energy, creating an unforgettable page of shared memories with their fandom, INNER CIRCLE.
From July 25 to 27, WINNER successfully held its concert “2025 WINNER CONCERT [IN OUR CIRCLE]” at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park. This marked their first reunion with Korean fans in over three years, since “THE CIRCLE” in 2022. The WINNER members actively participated in rearranging the songs and in the overall concert production process, offering a heartfelt and sincere experience.
Amid explosive cheers, WINNER took to the stage with a powerful medley of its hits “Really really,” “Love me love me,” and “I Love U,” instantly raising the energy in the venue. Their high-quality live performances, brought to life by dynamic synergy with the live band, set the crowd ablaze. Even label juniors TREASURE and BABYMONSTER, who made surprise appearances, responded with enthusiastic support.
The solo stages, each infused with the individual charm of the members, added a rich variety to the show. KANG SEUNG YOON gave fans a surprise gift by performing “Homeless,” a track from his upcoming solo album scheduled for release this year. KIM JIN WOO and LEE SEUNG HOON also captivated the audience with performances that showcased their distinct colors, bringing smiles to fans’ faces.
With a setlist that spanned a wide musical spectrum, WINNER unfolded a deep range of emotions. They offered warm empathy and comfort through sentimental songs like their debut track “Empty (공허해),” and brought the energy to a peak with bright, refreshing stages of songs like “Island,” “Millions,” “Ah yeah,” and “La La,” getting the entire crowd on their feet.
A particularly moving moment came during the encore song “Movie star,” accompanied by a credits-style video showing the names of fans in attendance. The members made their way through the audience, making eye contact with fans one by one, connecting with them more closely than ever. INNER CIRCLE responded with a sea of blue light sticks and a united fan chant, confirming that the bond between the group and their fans remains strong.
At the end of the show, WINNER, still full of passion, shared:
“We really missed you. Being on stage again as WINNER after such a long time feels like debuting all over again. It’s all thanks to your love and support. With this energy, we’ll keep moving forward even more diligently. We promise to create a moment where you can hear the songs you’ve been waiting for, just hang in there a little longer.”
Finally, after wrapping up its Seoul concerts, WINNER will continue with the “2025 WINNER CONCERT [IN OUR CIRCLE] IN JAPAN.” The tour kicks off on September 28 at the Kobe International House in Hyogo, followed by a performance on September 30 at Tachikawa Stage Garden in Tokyo, where they’ll meet their Japanese fans.
