The venue for the final day of the tour was filled with anticipation even before the show started. The hall went dark, and the opening video showed Seo In Guk traveling alone.
As fans watched him travelling freely and with a smile, he suddenly turned towards the camera and asked, with his hand over his ear, "Who wants to travel with me?" to which fans responded, "Yes!"
The audience erupted in excitement. Then the video ended and a white circle was projected on the screen in the center of the stage. The circle turned into a white light, and from within the light came a voice saying, "Everyone in Yokohama, thank you for coming today!
"Hurray!" Seo In Guk appeared on stage! While singing "Right Now," he made finger hearts and blew kisses, making the fans go wild.
After finishing the song, he greeted everyone in Yokohama, saying, "Good evening, everyone in Yokohama. I'm Seo In Guk. I'm glad to meet you." He then told the MC, "You're so cool!
When he said that, she made a peace sign with joy, and her innocent appearance had fans smiling with joy. When a fan also said, "You're so cool!", she made an L shape with her hands under her chin,
A striking pose. When asked by the MC, "Do you think it's necessary to take care of yourself to keep yourself looking good?", he replied, "I don't take any special care of myself. I just come here looking the way I am."
When asked if he had eaten anything since arriving in Japan, he replied, "I ate some cabbage from a convenience store yesterday evening. It was really tasty.
"I love cabbage," she said, an unexpected answer. Her fans were dubious and said, "Huh?", but she retorted in Japanese, "I'm not lying!" She continued, "I love cabbage. Yesterday
"I ate cabbage and chicken breast. Then I had a protein drink," he said, completely talking about the diet he was using to maintain his figure, and he left out the "not controlling" word he had mentioned at the beginning.
Even in this kind of atmosphere, he calmly replied, "I don't manage it," making the fans laugh.
In fact, in addition to healthy meals, "eel, mackerel sushi, miso cutlet, ramen
He enjoyed the "Korean food" and praised it in Japanese, saying, "It's so delicious!" Hot Topic is the latest TV series. He is currently filming "Twelve," a Korean-style hero series that uses the zodiac gods as material.
"I'm a monkey in the Chinese zodiac," he explained about his role. He had been shooting action scenes all night long until he came to Japan, and he inhaled a lot of dust during the shoot, so he was singing in falsetto during the Nagoya performance.
However, at the Yokohama concert, she was able to sing a beautiful harmony on the spot, delighting the ears of her fans.
This year marks the 11th anniversary of her Japanese debut, and when fans sent congratulatory messages like "Congratulations!", Seo In replied happily, "Thank you."
Jungkook said, "Looking back, it was a quick time. But the next 10 years feels so far away. I'm grateful to everyone who has been supporting me for the 11 years I've been active in Japan.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported us and given us the opportunity to perform on stage together.
I think it will be a great opportunity for me to see you there, so please look forward to it," he said. After receiving a big round of applause, he responded by making a heart shape.
The title of this tour given by Seo In Guk is "Heart
Regarding "UTOPIA," he said, "The reason is that I directed the music video for "Sora no Kaori," which depicts a dystopian world.
I created a story about surviving in the midst of destruction. I wanted to share that worldview on stage. But I felt that a dystopia was a bit too much, so I decided to create a utopia. A better world.
I named it with the meaning of "creating a better world." I want to create a better world together with everyone who is on this stage with me, with all of HEARTRIDER, and I want this moment to be just that.
"That's why I chose the name Heart Utopia," he explained, and added, "For me, utopia is here, where you are all. This is truly my utopia." The audience erupted in cheers.
The first corner was "HEARTVOTE", where fans voted for the image they wanted to see from Seo In Guk, and the image they wanted to see from Seo In Guk.
The first one was a choice between 1. "Sexy and cute face set" or 2. "Dance, singing, and rap." In this choice, she chose 1 because she "is not confident in dancing."
From the opening until the start of this corner, he had captivated the fans with his various expressions, but here he made the fans' hearts flutter even more with his sexiness and cuteness.
The second one was a challenge dance called "Bamboo Shoot Dance" even though she said she wasn't confident in her dancing. It's a simple dance where you stretch your arms above your head and move up and down in a mountain shape.
So he said "It's easy" with a smile on his face. The fans called out "One more time" because he looked so cute, and he also said "Dance with me!"
Seeing the whole audience doing the "Bamboo Shoot Dance", Seo In Guk exclaimed, "It's amazing!
Thank you for doing this with me," he said, his eyes shining with emotion.
In the two-choice question "Which line would you like to hear?", the answer was "Mannajimaka (Shall I refuse?)" from the TV series "Reply 1997" or "Karchojo (Tell me)" from "One Million Stars Falling from the Stars".
The most popular song among the fans was "One Hundred Million Stars Falling from the Stars," but since this was the final performance, they decided to perform both songs.
When the close-up of his sword-like expression was shown, the hall fell silent. Then, after saying "Mannajimaka" in Korean, he said "It's better not to date" in Japanese, and Fu was in awe of his words.
The fans were thrilled. He also said the line "Tell me" from "One Billion Stars Falling from the Stars" in Japanese, further exciting the audience. When the fans were delighted with his Japanese lines, he replied, "In that case, I have to appear on a Japanese TV series.
If I get the chance, I would like to appear on a Japanese TV series," he said, drawing applause and cheers from the audience. At the end, he was given the choice between "Eddie smile" or "Kejugi smile," and he replied, "I'd like to do both."
I tried it, but I felt less embarrassed with "Kejugi" (laughs)," so I decided to do "Kejugi". There was also a photo time where you could take pictures of this cute pose.
There was also a prize corner where people could win prizes by drawing lots from the voting boxes that they had cast in this corner. As he put his hand into the lottery box and stirred it around, suddenly
She said in Japanese, "Moe Moe Kyun, be delicious!" and even during the lottery, she was charming and delighted the fans.
The "BINGO" corner started. This is a mission written on the back of the nine works, and you have to play bingo by placing three pieces vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.
If all the missions were successful, six fans would be chosen by lottery to win a gift. When the fans shouted "Fighting!", he replied in Japanese, "I'll do my best!"
Enter the icon and start the mission. First, select "Shopping King Louie" at the bottom right. On the back of the piece, "Crocodile Crocodile Panic" is written. If you push the crocodile's teeth and don't get bitten by the crocodile, you've succeeded.
It was a game called "Saku", but he was scared of being bitten, so he tried it with a frown on his face. He cleared it three times in a row in Nagoya, but in Yokohama, he only had to clear it twice. He successfully completed the first round.
He succeeded, and before selecting the second tooth, he blew air onto his index finger, placed his finger on the crocodile's tooth, turned his face away and slowly pressed it down, making a big success. He gave a fist pump to the thunderous applause of the fans.
He was happy to show off his biceps with the pose. For the second piece, he chose "One Hundred Million Stars Falling from the Stars." He placed a ping pong ball on a stand, covered it with a wine glass, and spun it around to make the ball float.
The mission was to put three ping pong balls into the other glass. When the first one was successful, the audience and the MC were in a frenzy. Meanwhile, Seo In Guk waited for the MC to look and put the ping pong balls into the glass with his hand.
Using the "magic" of putting it in the glass, Seo In Guk managed to fool the MC while the fans were giggling. He also succeeded in the last one and completed the second mission.
The third piece was "Can I have a secret love?". This involved catching stars falling from the sky with chopsticks. In Nagoya, the challenge was with cooking chopsticks, but it was difficult.
So they changed to using regular-sized chopsticks. They practiced once, and just as the MC was about to scatter the petals, Seo In Guk stuck out his chopsticks and managed to grab a ton of them!
"I got the hang of it," he said confidently as he moved on to the actual part. When the host scattered the petals, everyone tried desperately to pick them up with their chopsticks, but unfortunately, all the petals fell to the floor.
However, Seo In Guk has the ability to use "magic," and the host gathers the petals and scatters them further into the air. Then, he places one petal on top of the chopsticks, which he holds in an X shape.
We managed to clear the bingo and give the prizes to six people. On this day, Lee Si Eon from the TV series "Reply 1997" also made a surprise appearance.
Lee Si Eon, who was also in the group, was invited onto the stage by Seo In Guk to celebrate her 11th debut anniversary. The MC took out a red bracelet from his pocket and handed it to Seo In Guk, who wore it.
He then performed "Thread of Fate." He even suggested giving away the red bracelet through a lottery, to the delight of his fans.
Next, Seo Yi, who became the star of the Korean musical "The Count of Monte Cristo"
Nguk appeared in a pure white outfit. Under the bright red lights, he sang "Hell I Give to You" with great force. In a lower voice than usual, he said, "Nice to meet you, I'm Monte Cristo."
Greetings. When asked about his experience in musicals, he said, "I learned so much while performing in musicals. I really felt that there is no end to acting or singing.
I felt the joy of acting on stage. I want to do a musical again. In fact, I told the director in the dressing room that I wanted to do a musical.
I'm currently practicing singing J-pop. I'll definitely be appearing in another musical, so please come and see me," he said, raising fans' expectations.
When asked about the hot topic of the mini-album "SIGnature," he said, "I was involved a lot from the production.
But I did participate in the production of the album, and I was especially involved in this one. The album contains my thoughts, and I also directed the music video.
I wanted to show myself somehow while working. SIG is the initial of my name. In that sense, Seo In Guk's signature, Seo In Guk's music,
When asked when he would like people to listen to the album, he said, "When I wake up in the morning, I want to listen to 'Right!'
I start the day listening to "Now" and when I go to school or work, I open the door, so I start the day listening to "Sora no Kaori" and thought I needed some energy.
Sometimes I listen to "Galaxy". Then, when the day is over, I listen to "You are a flower" on my way home. At night, I listen to "Thread of Fate" on a moody night.
"I hope this album will be an album that accompanies your daily life," he said. In the second half of the event, it was time for a live performance where you could enjoy Seo In Guk's singing voice.
They performed "Out of time" with its adult sexiness, "Sora no Kaori" with its refreshing guitar sound and beautiful singing voice, and "Galaxy" with its exciting songs.
She also covered Seiko Matsuda's "Aoi Sangosho," a song she had always liked. She moved one foot to the left and one foot to the right, stepping cutely like the idols of her time.
During the chorus, "Ah, to that island," she pointed her index finger at the audience and flashed a big smile. She made a heart shape, melting the hearts of her fans.
He likes Japanese songs from the 90s. Yutaka Ozaki's "I LOVE
You" and Ken Hirai's "Hitomi wo Tojite" are also sung a cappella.
He said, "There are a lot of masterpieces. I work on my songs hoping that they will remain as masterpieces after time has passed."
In a hushed atmosphere, when he announced, "This is the last song," the audience erupted in exclamations of "Eh!
"No way!" he exclaimed in Japanese, expressing his disappointment at the reaction, "No way, no way," but he ended by performing "Kimi to Iu Hana" (Flower of You).
He delivered a gentle voice, and when he finished singing, he made mini hearts with both hands and blew a kiss as he left the stage, to a huge round of applause. The applause he received immediately turned into hand clapping for an encore.
The fans' enthusiasm was conveyed to Seo In Guk, and only a voice was heard asking, "Are you ready?", and a smiling Seo In Guk appeared on the screen in the center of the stage.
Ngukku appeared. His figure moving from backstage to the stage was shown on live broadcast, and he appeared singing "My Baby U". The fans also shouted "Egiya!" and got into the mood.
The concert ended with Seo In Guk giving a cute kiss to the camera, and the excitement in the venue only increased. After spending some quality time with the fans, he said, "It's been 11 years since I started working in Japan.
I was filled with gratitude while I was there. Now when I think back, I have done so many things with you all. I am now spending time with you all on this amazing stage in Yokohama.
It's amazing. I think it's thanks to all of you that I've been able to work for 11 years. Thank you for always welcoming me with a happy expression and loving my work and music.
Also, thank you for considering the fan meetings, album promotions, and other opportunities to meet me as precious memories."
He continued, "While promoting in Japan like this, I wanted to show everyone a cool image until the very end. I think this is the first time in my 11 years of promotion that I've gone home without gaining weight (laughs).
I think it's because I've lost weight. Cabbage, chicken breast, etc. (laughs) There are so many delicious things in Japan. But it was delicious.
(laughs) I wanted to look great until the end, but it may not be obvious, but I want to talk about the TMI I experienced today. Of all things, I ended up with a pimple," she said honestly.
He made the fans laugh. Finally, he said, "Everyone who is spending time with me today is important to me. I hope that we will continue to work together like this in the future," and then he said, "All
For You" stage. Here, he went down to the audience and got up close and personal with the fans! The audience was filled with smiles, and it was the most exciting moment of the day. Then, Seo In Guk returned to the stage,
"See you again. Thank you to all the fans in Yokohama. I promise to see you next time, bye!" he said. Waving his hands, he went down and disappeared from sight.
Just when you think it's over when he disappears from sight, he crawls up again and surprises you with just his face. The fan concert, which lasted about two and a half hours, was full of heartwarming singing voices, friendly characters, and
With her sweet smile and lively conversation that was full of laughter, she kept fans entertained until the very end.
