2025 DOH KYUNG SOO ASIA CONCERT TOUR <DO it! in Singapore>

EXO-Ls sure know how to Sing Along with Doh Kyung Soo— DO it! In Singapore

Sunday, August 24, 2025

Do You Remember the last time Kyung Soo was here in Singapore?

Back after a year-long wait, Doh Kyung Soo returned to our sunny island for his highly anticipated 2025 DOH KYUNGSOO ASIA CONCERT TOUR <DO it!> in Singapore and fans showed up in style, all dressed in white to match the official dress code.

This time, Kyung Soo was not alone. The 32-year old artiste was accompanied by his live band, cleverly named Dohper Band (Doh from Doh Kyung Soo, Per from perfect).

Fueled by pure dopamine and devotion, fans erupted in cheers as the EXO main vocalist opened the night with a band introduction that flowed seamlessly into ‘Do You Remember’, a track from his latest album 'BLISS'.

The idol-actor continued the set with ‘Nobody Knows It’ followed by a bright and bubbly ‘Wonder’, as he took a step closer to greet fans at the extended stage.

Of course, Kyung Soo didn’t forget his fan-favorite songs! ‘Mars’, ‘Simple Joys’, ‘Popcorn’ and ‘Somebody’, sparked waves of excitement, igniting loud sing-alongs from the crowd, as fans recalled the memories from the previous concert in 2024.

A standout of the night was the breathtaking stage directing. It was cinematic when Kyung Soo was lifted into the air with a moonlit backdrop, as though seated on the moon during a soothing performance of ‘My Dear’.

I couldn’t help but be reminded of Hwang Sun-woo, Kyung Soo’s character in movie, The Moon. That brief moment made me realise just how far Kyung Soo has come and grown over the years, and it truly touched the 12-year old EXO-L in me.

“There’s something I want to tell everyone here”, Kyung Soo chimed as he proceeded to the next heartfelt segment, chorusing to ‘That’s Okay’, ‘I’ll Be There’, and ‘Draw My Path’— the trio we like to think of as the holy-trinity of Kyung Soo’s healing tracks.

“Aren’t these beautiful phrases?” he asked with wide hopeful eyes, seeking acknowledgment from the crowd. Nobody Knows It but it was safe to assume that the songs wrapped the audience in a gentle embrace of comfort and motivation as everyone swayed their lightsticks rhythmically.

The concert was a powerful reminder of Kyung Soo’s artistry and depth, not only through his majestic vocal performances, but also through his intimate connection with the audience.

Let’s go back in, back in 그리운 My Youth~ Longtime EXO fans were treated with an EXO Medley, performed by Dohper Band while Kyung Soo took a prompt outfit change.

Waves of exhilaration hit the audience as Kyung Soo reemerged on stage as he flawlessly executed the high note in ‘Love Me Right’.

One of the most memorable moments came during ‘In Another Life’, where he showcased his incredible control and vocal range, holding long, emotional notes that left the entire stadium breathless.

Besides flexing his musical talents, Kyung Soo also showed us the 'effortlessly-funny variety king' he is as his humor and charm were on full display throughout the show. At one point, he mimicked a fan’s bird-like scream, sending laughter through the crowd.

During the encore, the grateful Kyung Soo ran down the stage, getting up-close with EXO-Ls. Fans were caught off guard, but instinctively reached out their hands to wave goodbye to him and in a hopeful attempt of a fleeting high-five with the star.

The concert truly was one of the ‘simple joys’ we all needed—one that brought us comfort, laughter and nostalgia.

We would like to thank to UnUsUaL Entertainment for the media invitation!

2025 YESUNG CONCERT [It’s Complicated] in SINGAPORE

Yesung says “Its Complicated”, but still warms Singaporean fans’ hearts with the simplest actions

Sunday, March 02, 2025

A solo concert for the first time in Singapore? It’s not a problem for Super Junior’s main vocalist Yesung, who proved that he could hold his own during 2025 YESUNG CONCERT [It’s Complicated], at The Theatre at Mediacorp. In their pink dress code, fans were ready to end the month with their favourite singer on 28 February 2025, along with their sapphire blue light sticks.

The much-anticipated singer came out in an oversized suit & tie, and opened his set with light-hearted tracks like ‘Small Things’, ‘Between’ and ‘Like Us’. Yesung then greeted his fans, also known as Cloud, or E.L.F. in the Super Junior fandom.

“It’s so good to see you guys! It’s my first time in Singapore as a solo.”

Known for their variety sense, the Super Junior member naturally inserted touches of humour as he spoke:

“Is there anyone seeing me for the first time?”

*A few fans raise their hands*

“It’s a relief that there’s not many.”

“Today it feels like I’m here for a date. Don’t you think you can introduce me to your friend, and meet me for a first date? I’m not bad, right?”

“I think your answer is not that confident… but okay. I’ll try to flirt and make you guys fall in love with me tonight. Let’s see whether you’ll fall in love with me!”

The songbird then effortlessly did so by singing ‘Scented Things’ & ‘A Letter in The Wind ’.

Following a VCR and a change of outfit, Yesung re-appeared in a green outerwear and jeans, exuding a laidback, youthful vibe. He then delights E.L.F. with ‘Like Us’, and performed a medley – ‘Beautiful Night’, ‘Eat’s OK’ & ‘Pink Magic’. Being the seasoned entertainer that he is, not only he threw snack packs to lucky fans, he even walked into the audience area to interact with them!

Yesung then delivered his second ment after hyping up the crowd, “Usually everyone stands up during ‘Pink Magic’… is there a regulation you guys can’t?”

“Today, I failed to throw to the second floor. Can you guys see me well?” the singer showed his consideration to fans sitting in the back.

“When do you feel the most energetic? When you go home from work or school, compared to when you go for it right? No wonder you all kept sitting down,” Yesung joked.

He then continued to deliver his soulful vocals by singing a remake of 'Yours eternally' (original title 'Unbreakable Love' by Eric Chou), followed by his highly-successful OST track 'It Has to Be You'.

Added to his set were ‘My Dear’, ‘4 Seasons’, ‘There She Goes Again’ ‘Curtain’, and ‘Floral Sense’.

“You guys sang ‘It Has to Be You’ really well. I’m touched at your flashlight event!” the singer marveled at Cloud’s efforts for him.

When Yesung performed ‘Parallel Lines’ after, he stated that he doesn’t sing this song often, but decided to add it to his setlist as he heard it’s a fan favourite.

As the evening drew to a close, he remembers to express gratitude to his audience who came to support his first solo concert in Singapore:

“When I was walking around, I saw you guys really well. Thank you for my first concert in Singapore. Since there’re many of you who saw me for the first time, I think our date went well. I’ll continue to be passionate. I hope you guys will continue to cheer for me.”

“Next year is my 10th anniversary and solo. Since we like each other, let’s meet more often!”

The artiste then wrapped up the concert with ‘Slide Away’.

That Friday night, Yesung winded down a hustling week for fans, while combining talent and humour into two hours. Complete with a live band, the soloist displayed versatility and his non-idol side with various genres like rock, ballads and R&B. We’re sure both Cloud and E.L.F are already eagerly anticipating Super Junior’s next visit to Singapore!

We’d like to thank CK Star Entertainment for the invite.

Still in Their Prime - INFINITE’s 15th Anniversary Concert in Singapore

Monday, February 10, 2025

It’s been nearly a decade since INFINITE last performed in Singapore, but their return on February 7, 2024, for their 15th Anniversary LIMITED EDITION IN SINGAPORE concert at The Star Theatre proved that their impact is as powerful as ever. With a sold-out crowd and an electric atmosphere, it was a night of nostalgia, passion, and the unwavering bond between INFINITE and their devoted fanbase, INSPIRIT.

The night kicked off with “Last Romeo,” “Paradise,” and “The Eye,” immediately setting the tone for a performance filled with both high-energy and deep emotions. The crowd erupted as they sang along word for word, proving that INFINITE’s music remains timeless. During their opening ment, the members playfully introduced themselves in classic INFINITE fashion before engaging in a cheeky call-and-response with the fans, having INSPIRIT introduce themselves in return.

The sentimental highlight? The group reminisced about how Singapore was the very first overseas country they performed in during their debut era. Being back after all these years, they expressed immense gratitude for the fans who continued to support them through every milestone.

Diving into their discography, INFINITE delivered standout performances of “Inception,” “New Emotions” from their latest album, followed by fan-favorites “Back” and “Destiny,” proving that their signature sound remains just as impactful today.

Then came the solo stages, each one showcasing the members’ individual artistry:

Seongjong turned up the energy with “Monster Time,” bringing unexpected rocker vibes and even making his way offstage to get up close with fans.

L (Kim Myung Soo) took the spotlight with INFINITE’s “Shot” solo, hitting breathtaking high notes and proving his vocal prowess beyond his renowned visuals.

Sungyeol surprised fans by entering from the side of the venue to perform “What’s Not to Love” among the audience, a touching and personal moment that had fans scrambling to catch a glimpse.

Sungkyu and Woohyun switched things up, with Sungkyu taking on Woohyun’s “Calm & Passion” and Woohyun delivering “Kontrol” (originally Sungkyu’s), leaving fans longing once again for the long-awaited debut of INFINITE V.

Dongwoo showcased his versatility by starting his performance of “True Love” on the grand piano, proving that even as the group’s rapper, he could just as easily move hearts with his vocals.

Dressed in a fresh set of outfits, INFINITE continued with “Pray” and “The Chaser,” before dropping the announcement—a new comeback album is on the way next month. To give fans a taste, they performed an unreleased track, “SAD LOOP,” an emotional moment that quickly turned sentimental when they followed up with “Still I Miss You.”

Shifting gears, they reignited the energy with “Air” and the iconic “Be Mine,” the track that first catapulted them to success. The fan chants were deafening, a testament to how beloved the song remains to this day.

Then came a thrilling game of “Where’s INFINITE?” as they performed “Man In Love,” “She’s Back,” and “Nothing’s Over” while roaming throughout the venue, taking selfies, signing autographs, and interacting directly with fans—all while delivering flawless vocals. It was peak fan service king behavior and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many in the audience.

Before the final song, the concert took a sweet turn with a surprise birthday celebration for Woohyun, who turned another year older on February 8. The members were visibly delighted, and Woohyun jokingly declared himself “forever 21”—honestly, with his youthful energy, no one would argue otherwise.

They closed the main set with “Find Me,” leaving fans emotional yet eager for more.

As the lights dimmed, it was INSPIRIT’s turn to shine. The fans took over with an impromptu karaoke session, flawlessly singing along to INFINITE’s songs while waiting for the encore. When the members returned, they wrapped up the night with “Come Back Again,” “Entrust,” “Up to You,” and “Lately.”

From start to finish, the concert was an unforgettable journey through INFINITE’s past, present, and future. If this night proved anything, it’s that their bond with INSPIRIT remains unbreakable and their legacy as one of K-pop’s most legendary groups continues to thrive.

Thank you to CK Star Entertainment Singapore for making this magical night happen. Until next time, INFINITE—please don’t keep us waiting too long!

EXO-Ls sure know how to Sing Along with Doh Kyung Soo— DO it! In Singapore
