Opening with “Rain To Be,” the band emerged dramatically in silhouette, the atmosphere immediately heightened by HARIN’s sharp drumming and GIUK’s deep bassline. The crowd erupted as DONGMYEONG wielded a keytar, with YONGHOON and KANGHYUN rounding out the explosive rock formation on guitars. They wasted no time launching into “OFF ROAD,” with YONGHOON descending the stage stairs to sing among the crowd, urging everyone to join in. The chemistry between the members, especially during their synchronized guitar solos, made it clear that the band was there to create a truly memorable night.

“Roommate” brought a reflective pause, with the crowd raising their phone lights in unison. The band’s iconic track “Regulus” was met with reverence, ending in a breathtaking high note from YONGHOON. GIUK rallied the crowd, expressing his desire to shift the mood by saying, “How about we switch up the vibe and turn this place into a rock festival?” “Sole Star” and “GRAVITY” reignited the energy, with fans chanting along and the band radiating pure joy. During “0&4,” the members stepped forward closer to the edge of the stage, and encouraged fans to sing the song’s intro.
After sharing these sentimental messages, the band decided to take a photo on stage with the audience. YONGHOON asked everyone to shout “LA galbi,” which initially confused many in the crowd. He quickly explained that he believes galbi (갈비), a Korean BBQ dish, is especially delicious in Los Angeles. This playful moment further showcased the genuine, light-hearted bond the ONEWE members share with each other.
The encore kicked off with HARIN’s spirited drum solo before the rest of the band returned in their tour merch, with DONGMYEONG, sporting new stylish black-framed glasses. The final encore songs, “Crazy good,” “Pleasant,” and “Eraser,” were pure fun, filled with playful dancing and interactive chants, including YONGHOON walking through the aisles while singing to fans. He closed the night by holding his mic stand over the crowd and then over HARIN’s drums for a dramatic finish, ending the show on a high, both musically and emotionally.
Throughout the show, ONEWE shared countless heartfelt moments with their fans, radiating genuine love and comfort. Their presence left no doubt how much this experience meant to both the band and their audience. Though this is only their first world tour, it certainly won’t be their last. After a decade in the industry, ONEWE has proven they’re here for the long run, and as they move forward, their bond will only grow stronger. They’ll continue creating music that deeply resonates with fans.
