POW
Rising “all-rounder” group POW has successfully wrapped up its very first solo concert, proving its expanding musical spectrum and strong stage presence.
POW (consisting of Yorch, Hyunbin, Jungbin, Dongyeon, and Hong) held its solo concert, “POW TOUR: POWERFUL YOUTH In SEOUL,” on September 27 and 28 at the Myunghwa Live Hall in Seoul. While they’ve previously held multiple fan concerts, this was its first official solo concert, a special moment that showcased its growth as a group and allowed them to fully express their musical identity.
The concert opened with its hit songs “Amazing” and “Favorite.” POW shared:
“Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to come to our very first solo concert. We’ve performed on many stages, but this one has us the most excited.”
They added with a playful tone:
“We’re going to give you a performance so full of energy that you’ll lose your voice from cheering—and maybe even lose 3kg by the time you get home!”
They continued:
“This concert was built around five keywords that make our youth stronger, love, friendship, and more. We hope you enjoy it.”
Indeed, the show was structured around five main themes: friendship, love, passion (challenge), fans, and memories. POW delivered each chapter with a unique emotional tone, immersing the audience in a cohesive story. The seamless transitions and unified messaging further amplified the concert’s core theme: “What makes youth strong and radiant.”
Throughout the concert, POW performed many of their most popular tracks, including “Bae,” “I,” “Celebrate,””이유 (Reason),” “다정해지는 법(How to be kind),” “Dazzling,””Valentine,””Boyfriend,” and “Fingerprint,” drawing enthusiastic cheers from a packed audience. During “Always be there (항상 그 자리에 있어),” the members came down into the crowd, locking eyes with fans, taking selfies, and delivering heartfelt fan service that electrified the room.
They remarked:
“We really wanted to see our fans up close. Seeing POWer’s reactions makes all our hard work worth it.”
POW also gave a special preview of its upcoming song “Wall flowers,” which is set to be released on September 29, further proving their versatility as an all-rounder group.
“It was our first time performing this song, but even with our in-ears in, we could still hear the fans screaming. It was overwhelming,” they shared.
A cover of “Dirty work“ and a high-energy hip-hop choreography session gave fans a glimpse into POW’s evolving artistic direction, with bold performances that highlighted each member’s unique personality.
For the encore, they performed “Gimme love“ and “Sunset,” closing the show on a high emotional note. Moved by the crowd’s energy, POW tearfully expressed:
“Honestly, we were worried and nervous while preparing this concert, but seeing your happy faces made us truly happy too. Thank you, we love you. It’s something we always say, but you, our fans, are the biggest strength in our lives. Thank you for creating such beautiful memories with us. Please continue to stay by our side.”
With this first solo concert, POW has clearly established their identity and musical potential. The group now embarks on a new chapter, starting with the release of its new single “WALL FLOWERS” on September 29 and the official kickoff of its new promotions.
