ARTMS have carved a unique path since their debut in 2024 with the studio album DALL and the hit single “Virtual Angel” — blending experimental pop and electronic elements with sensual choreography and rich storytelling. Their Grand Club Icarus concept — rooted in their 2025 mini-album Club Icarus — reframes their sound through club-inspired arrangements while still honoring their emotional and narrative depth.
The setlist in Helsinki spanned a wide range of ARTMS’ catalog — from driving tracks like “BURN” and “Unf/Air” to fan favorites “Flower Rhythm” and “Pressure.” Each song showed a different shade of ARTMS’: fierce, whimsical, sultry, and introspective. Solo moments — such as Heejin’s charismatic “Video Game” and Choerry’s fiery “Pressure” — gave individual members room to shine while grounding the show in unforgettable personal expression.
Between music and choreography, the members shared laughs and brief interactions with the crowd, using local greetings and expressions that drew enthusiastic responses — moments that made the night feel personal and deeply shared.
ARTMS’ “Grand Club Icarus” in Helsinki wasn’t just a concert — it was an immersive expierence of the group’s artistry, versatility, and bond with their global fans. Their seamless fusion of club-infused soundscapes and introspective storytelling created an experience that was both worldly and heartfelt.
As they continue their European leg and beyond, ARTMS prove once again that they’re one of K-pop’s most compelling acts right now — fearless, expressive, and utterly magnetic.
