The audience was made up of people from Japan and abroad, both male and female, of all ages, from teenagers to people in their 50s and above, and included not only current fans, but also people who supported the duo in their youth and came to see them live for the first time in a long time.
When the show started, the distorted guitar sound rang out loud, and two huge pillars towering over the stage split into two, and JAEJOONG and XIA appeared from inside.
Amidst the never-ending cheers, the opening performance was performed on top of the pillar. Then, "JX 2024 CONCERT <IDENTITY> in
While the fans were still excited, the duo performed their first song as a group, "Rising Sun."
Sun" with 16 back dancers, including the dance director who has been with her since her debut.
The performance was accompanied by fireballs that shot up several times from the beginning, and the excitement in the venue reached a climax.
They sang "Line" and ""O"-Thesis, Antithesis, Union" in succession, singing three songs nonstop. They proved that they are even more attractive than when they were in a group.
It was a performance worthy of the start of their 20th anniversary. Afterwards, out of breath, the two expressed their gratitude to everyone who came. Jaejoong said, "It's been a while since we last performed in a dance group.
"It feels great to see the two of you dancing together after such a long time," said XIA, who spoke of performing songs from their time as a group, "These are our songs, but
"There are songs that I haven't been able to sing for a long time. I'm happy that I can perform them today," they said frankly to the audience. Since singing is the main focus in their usual live performances rather than dancing, both of them were using hand-held microphones.
He said that he often performs in a 3D environment, but this time he will be performing a lot of dance, so he prepared a new headset. He promised the audience that he still has a lot of dance performances to do.
Inspired by the audience's response, the two performed "Whatever They Say" and "I believe..." in succession. In stark contrast to the previous song, the song was romantic, sweet, and gentle.
Their beautiful voices echoed through the venue, creating a gentle atmosphere. The two stood in the center of the stage, looking at each other and smiling many times. The pleasant harmony they created made the audience feel at ease.
It was enough to make me rewind 20 years. At the end, they moved to the edge of the stage and sang while looking at each other from a distance. Even though they are working on different paths, they still have a connection with each other.
Next, XIA in a pink jacket and JAEJOONG in a red top performed "Sky." During the interlude, XIA improvised
There was also a scene where JAEJOONG and his back-up dancers matched the dance. The refreshing summer breeze and silver confetti flew around the venue, making the air in Seoul feel a little warmer as it started to get cold.
Afterwards, they sang the chorus of "My Girl" with the audience. As they walked down Flower Road, they looked around the audience and smiled. Surrounded by the warm orange light that brings back memories of the past 20 years,
The two were singing as if they were remembering the time, and some of the audience were in tears. In the following MC part, they talked about the song selection for this live. The two, who had three meetings to select the songs,
He said that he decided on the songs while thinking about what he thought his fans would want to hear. He also said, "I was actually a bit worried because I hadn't had a chance to sing the songs from the early days of my debut.
JAEJ revealed that he was worried about whether he could pull off the Eve performance, whether he could sing and dance, and whether the people who came would really enjoy our old songs.
OONG. XIA said, "I hope people will see us as active idols today, not as people who went back to the time when we were active 20 years ago." "The next song is on the set list.
This was the last song we decided on when deciding on the song. Because this song is one that lets you imagine our complete image as a group, and I think it has a strong message.
" JAEJOONG prefaced the song and moved on to the next one. There was a moment of silence, and then "And... (Holding Back The
When the intro to "Tears" started playing, the venue erupted in loud cheers.
It is an important song to the group, with lyrics written by other members who were thinking of the anxiety they felt in 2005 when they were still active as a group and of Jaejoong's knee injury. XIA's pleasant high-pitched voice resonates throughout the song.
As they walked, the two moved from the center stage to the Flower Road that split off to the left and right. Gazing into the distance, the two sang with all their hearts, so that their voices would reach each and every audience member.
Afterwards, XIA performed a medley of his solo songs "Tarantallegra" and "Flower", as well as "ROCK" with some intense dancing.
JAEJOONG will perform "Devotion" and "Summer
J", and finally the title song "Glorious Day", for which JAEJOONG himself participated in writing the lyrics.
Following the three songs "U", "Ashita wa Kuru Kara" and "Why Did I Fall in Love with You?", the Japanese songs "Begin" and "PROUD" were released.
They continued singing. In "PROUD," footage of the two of them from their younger days and now was shown, and it was impressive to see them singing as if they were talking to their own selves at the time.
The two of them have been driving the industry ever since. Seeing the audience in tears, XIA's eyes well up with emotion and JAEJOONG warmly watches over her.
JAEJOONG also said, "I'm glad that there were fans who cried while watching. It's very heartwarming to be able to share memories in the same space."
When the fans' voices were heard, XIA said, "If you want us... I can't promise anything, but we live on your love, so we can't ignore you," and the crowd erupted in cheers.
While communicating with fans, such as Kate, she announced, "This is the last song," "The Way U Are," "The Spell"
-MIROTIC-". With a seductive smile on her face, her intense dance performance made it seem like time had never flowed before.
The audience was on their feet as the duo performed with even more sexiness than when they were still in a group. The duo then left the stage with a lingering impression.
Then the lyrics of "Don't Say Goodbye" appeared on the screen and the audience began to sing along.
The green of the lights and XIA's pink color were in full bloom. When the call for an encore rang out, the two of them came on stage in their school uniforms and performed "HUG" and "Balloons."
During "Balloons," XIA rode on a trolley and greeted the audience in the second floor from up close.
After thanking everyone many times, JAEJOONG concluded by saying, "It was like a dream. I was able to express everything that I had been unable to sing and had been keeping in my heart for a long time. I really don't know how to express it.
But seeing everyone watching our performance, crying in front of me, looking happy, and laughing gave me courage.
"I'm glad I was able to perform this concert with the members. Thank you very much," he said in a moving speech, and the concert ended with the JYJ song "Empty."
Even though three hours had passed, the group showed no signs of fatigue as they performed their intense dance moves, and the finale was a dance number performed lightly in school uniforms.
The Seoul concert made us look forward to their Japan concert coming up in September. At the end, the two of them bowed 90 degrees all over the stage, expressing their deepest gratitude as they left the stage.
However, the audience again called for an encore, and it wasn't long before the two were seen again. After expressing their gratitude many times, the two performed the magnificent ballad "Lov
While being lifted up to a height of 3m, he passionately sang "E in the Ice", enveloping the fans in a whirlpool of emotion that was beyond words. Eventually, white confetti fell, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
The first day of "JX 2024 CONCERT <IDENTITY> in Seoul" came to a close with thunderous applause echoing through the atmospheric venue.
Stay tuned to see what kind of performance they will give us at their Japan tour, scheduled to be held at Belluna Dome (Saitama) on Saturday, December 14th and Sunday, December 15th!
