A conclusion full of energy, a testament to their strong connection with the audience.
Montpellier hosted NCHIVE’s last European date, and the Salle Victoire 2 quickly filled with an energy mixing excitement and slight nostalgia for the end of the European tour.
The evening began with the opening act by the local crew HDK, a K-cover dance group from Montpellier, setting the mood with “Racer”, “Fashion”, and “Like Jennie”. The energy gradually rose, and the room was already immersed when NCHIVE arrived.
The boys entered the stage and opened the concert with the lead track from their new album “BELIEVE”, “Can’t catch me”. The sequence continued with “Luv+Me”, in a softer atmosphere, punctuated by simple exchanges with the fans. The concert flowed smoothly, between performances and moments of conversation. Despite a few minor sound issues, the members remained relaxed, smiling, and continued to enjoy the moment.
They continued with their Christmas songs, then surprised the audience with the track “Flash”. Several TikTok games on the new album tracks were carried out with the audience, creating fun and natural interaction moments, allowing fans to build a real bond with their group.
The solos allowed each member to shine:
- N performed an important ballad for him, a song he listened to often as a trainee.
- JUYEONG offered a dance cover of Jennie.
- YUCHAN performed a mashup of songs by the artist Kai.
- E.aN interacted with the audience in a K-drama style, exchanging “saranghae”, smiles, and engaging with the crowd.
- KANGSAN delivered a performance inspired by Stray kids, asserting his powerful and charismatic side.
- HA.L also performed a ballad, faithful to his role as leader.
Throughout the concert, interactions remained simple and natural. The members regularly asked if the audience was enjoying themselves. A calmer moment arrived with a cover of “보고싶다 (I miss you)” by BTS, creating a more relaxed and emotional atmosphere.
The words resonated particularly, as it was the last date in Europe:
“I’m very happy to have made it to Montpellier, thank you for coming.” YUCHAN
“This European tour is unforgettable. Save, I love you.” JUYEONG
“Since it’s our last date in Europe, we hope to see you again soon. You mean a lot to me.” KANGSAN
“I’m very happy to spend so many moments with you in Europe. I will miss you, let’s enjoy it to the fullest.” N
The encores followed with several covers, including BIGBANG, “Home sweet home”, and mashups of Stray kids, in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, with laughter, applause, and water sprays.
What also stood out during this concert was the freedom the members displayed on stage. They passed the microphone, improvised, joked, danced freely, and fully enjoyed every moment.
This spontaneity sometimes turned the stage into a real party, almost like a club, further strengthening the connection with the audience. They even went down close to the fans several times, moving with them, laughing, sharing the moment without wanting it to end. The encore extended well beyond the scheduled time, proof of their sincere desire to stay with the audience as long as possible.
Their youth, energy, and evident enjoyment on stage made the experience even more vivid.
This chemistry among the members gave the show an authentic and natural feeling. A precious dynamic that truly defines NCHIVE’s uniqueness.
This concert, organized at the Salle Victoire 2 in Montpellier by MMS ENTERTAINMENT, marked a strong conclusion for NCHIVE’s European tour, in a sincere and warm atmosphere, supported by fans present until the end.
Beyond the emotion and closeness with the audience, this live performance also shows that NCHIVE’s show quality is already at a very high level. The staging, energy, cohesion among members, and the thoughtfulness of each moment hint at a real potential for the future.
