N.FLYING
Like a “Flashback“, N.FLYING shone once again in Paris.
Six years after its concert at the Bataclan, N.FLYING returned to the French capital for its new tour, “&CON4: FULL CIRCLE“. This world tour marks not only the band’s return after the demobilization of CHA HUN, KIM JAEHYUN and SEO DONGSUNG, but also the tenth anniversary of their career. Invited by Live Nation France, KSTATION TV had the honor of attending the band’s return, which was at the Trianon on October 4th.
As soon as we arrived at the Trianon, N.FIA (fandom name) warmed up the venue, tapping their feet and singing to call the band to the stage. These calls were heard from the dressing rooms, according to CHA HUN. It was in a fiery crowd that the band opened its concert with “Born to be” and “Moonshot“, two powerful songs that immediately got the audience buzzing. Then, after introducing themselves, the members continued in a romantic atmosphere with “I like you” and “Into you“, where the fans sang along with the members, creating a unique energy.
This powerful energy continued with “Rise again” ,”Sunset“, “Run like this“, and “Blue moon“, which brought the Trianon to life thanks to the vocal and musical power of the members, as well as the enthusiasm of the fans, who sang the last chorus of “Run like this” on their own. N.FIA didn’t stop there: at the end of “Blue moon“, they sang the famous “Ici c’est Paris“, which perfectly illustrates the unique energy of the Parisian crowd. This warmth and energy were particularly emphasized by the members, who were visibly surprised six years after their last concert in the capital.
“I didn’t know I would feel emotions like this during the tour, I’m so happy.” – LEE SEUNGHYUB
“The energy in Paris is so hot tonight.” – YOO HWESEUNG
Then, LEE SEUNGHYUB announces a change of mood with “Firefly“. This song, written for the fans, conveys the message of eternally living this magical moment the members share on stage with their fans. So, what better way to celebrate their return to Paris than with this touching and profound ballad? This performance will be particularly memorable for YOO HWESEUNG‘s moving and transcendent vocals, but also for CHA HUN‘s guitar solo, which particularly touched us with its depth and technical prowess.
An emotion shared with the fans, who chanted CHA HUN‘s name to congratulate him on his performance, touching him: “I’m so happy to hear people shout my name like that. I had a lot of feelings for this solo tonight, but hearing you and seeing your energy, I thought I’d give it back to you with this guitar solo.” — CHA HUN
The concert continued with YOO HWESEUNG‘s solo, “Dangerously“, from the show “STAGE FIGTHER“. This powerful song was sung in unison by the N.FIA present, who showed their support with such energy that the Trianon floor shook with their footsteps. This moment was also an opportunity for the fans to introduce the members to other French songs, such as “On n’est pas fatigué (We’re not tired)” and “Qui ne saute pas n’est pas français (Who doesn’t jump is not French)“, which greatly amused the members, creating a unique moment of complicity.
An intense energy that gives way to a sweet harmony when LEE SEUNGHYUB takes to his keyboard for “Flashback“. This touching and timeless performance highlights the vocal power of YOO HWESEUNG, whose voice resonates throughout the venue as the fans are swept away by it.
A gentle interlude closes with “Oh really“, which brings back the electric energy present since the beginning of the concert. After learning how to say “Oh really” in French, LEE SEUNGHYUB starts the song, making not only the fans, but also the band members jump, swept away by the contagious energy of this song. This intensity continues with “Anyway“, “4242“, and “Say Goodbye“. The Trianon then transforms into a veritable party between N.FLYING and N.FIA, who celebrate their tenth anniversary together in the capital of love.
As the end of the concert quickly approaches, N.FLYING offers us two last fiery performances with “The real” and “Moebius“, before announcing its final song “Everlasting“. But the evening doesn’t end there: the band comes back to the stage for a festive encore, playing “Rooftop“, “Songbird” and even “Hot potato“, played exclusively for the fiery French audience. The members thus conclude the concert in a supercharged atmosphere, while warmly thanking the fans for their patience and unfailing support.
“N.FLYING’s dream is to be together until we’re 80. We probably said the same thing six years ago, and you’re wondering how we’re going to do it? Well, we’re going to show you. We’ve been together for half our lives, so separating isn’t an option. All the energy you’ve given us, we’re going to give back to you and create even more new music for you. This is our second concert in Paris, and I’ll never forget it. I promise we’ll do our best to release more albums and come back to see you.” – LEE SEUNGHYUB
“Paris, how are you all so beautiful tonight? Honestly, from start to finish, I was so happy to see you. I was truly happy to be here, in front of you, tonight. You’ve waited for us for six long years… How did you manage to keep up so much energy? I think I’m really going to miss you.” These are such happy memories. I promise you that with all the energy you gave me tonight, I’ll give it my all for the rest of the tour.” In French: “Merci Paris (Thank you Paris.)” – YOO HWESEUNG
“Paris, really, I can tell you that with the energy you have tonight, I think I did well to start on the drums.” In French: “Merci beaucoup, je t’aime (Thank you very much, I love you.)” – KIM JAEHYUN
“Really, the Paris concert was something that gave me so many emotions. First of all, your energy and encouragement were so warm… At one point, I asked myself: How can I give all this energy back to you? But actually, I didn’t need to think about it, because it’s precisely thanks to your energy that I was able to give the best of myself tonight. I’m really happy to be N.FLYING, and that you are our N.FIA. Thanks to you, who are here tonight, I can live my future. See you very soon in Paris.” In French: “Je t’aime (I love you.)” – CHA HUN
“You know, last time, I wasn’t part of the group yet… but now, I am. The encouragement you gave us tonight was even stronger than last time. I really want to thank you. I can tell you that the energy tonight is the strongest I’ve ever seen. I would really like to come back to Paris.” In French: “Merci beaucoup (Thank you very much.)” – SEO DONGSUNG
Finally, what we will remember from this concert is the undeniable talent of the members, both vocally and musically. We could also feel the boundless energy of the band, very happy to be back in Paris, as well as that of the fans, whose enthusiasm never wavered throughout the evening. Throughout the concert, we felt a strong connection between the audience and the members, happy to be together again after a six-year wait. A fiery and intense evening that will remain etched in our memories.
Finally, N.FLYING will be performing at the Kaohsiung Music Center in Taiwan on November 15th.
