"I am the top, super lady!"
Jeon So-yeon's explosive high notes echoed throughout the concert hall. Soon after, five warriors appeared in a lift.
"I am a god, super lady!"
Every time the members' images appeared on the screen, cheers erupted. The audience seats were transformed into standing rooms. The energy seemed to blow away the concert hall.
"Are you ready ANAHIEM? Let's go crazy tonight!" (Soyeon)
(G)I-DLE went on stage for their third world tour '2024 (G)I-DLE World Tour iDOL' at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, USA on the 10th (local time).
It was 2 hours and 30 minutes where you could see (G)I-DLE's true value. Not only their singing ability and performance, but their fan service was also top-notch.
Thanks to this, Neverland (fandom name) also jumped up and down. They sang along to every hit song and did an unaccompanied live together. That's how they set the night of Anaheim on fire with (G)I-DLE.
◆ "TOP SUPER, (G)I-DLE"
'Super Lady' was a perfect choice for the opening. No wonder, this song is the most intense and dynamic of (G)I-DLE's songs. It was enough to captivate Neverland.
The following 'Revenge' stood out with its sensual charm. 'Latata' was both captivating and addictive. In particular, the chorus of 'Latata' was sung along by 10,000 fans.
After finishing the first three songs, the members greeted each other in fluent English. Yuqi was delighted, saying, "Everybody got some crazy tonight."
"The title of this world tour is 'IDOL.' We will show you what a real idol is. It will be better than you expect." (Yuqi·Soyeon)
They also led the fans' cheers properly. Minnie and Yuqi came out and divided the fans into three sections. They kept shouting "Make some noise" and ignited the fans' cheering competition.
◆ "All songs are massive hits"
(G)I-DLE is a group with unique musicality. Most of their songs are self-produced. Furthermore, all of their title songs have been hits. Their commonality is that they are strong and addictive.
That's why their setlist was also rich. Most of the 24 songs were filled with hits. Even global fans who are not familiar with Korean could sing along to them all.
'Oh My God', 'Wife', 'Uh-Oh', 'Klaxon', 'Fate', 'Allergy', 'Ryan', 'My Back', 'Queenka', 'Tomboy'... Everyone stood up, shook their bodies, danced the key choreography, and sang along.
Among them, 'Wife' was an impressive number. The members brought out a huge mint wig prop on stage. The fans wearing mint wigs were even more excited. They jumped passionately and sang until their throats were hoarse.
After the song 'Klaxon' ended, the members and fans sang the chorus again. They shouted 'Hit the Klaxon' live without accompaniment. 'A-Tak-Jil' and 'My Back' also stood out with the chants of Anaheim fans.
◆ "Unstoppable Klaxon"
The five-member, five-color solo stage can only be seen on the world tour. Shuhua challenged herself to cover the Instagram Reels hit song 'Water' (originally by Tyler). She showed off her alluring and sensual charm.
Yuqi's trademark is her husky voice. She showed off her unique charm with 'Radio' (Dumb Dumb). She also taught the fans the "Dumb Dumb" repeat part of the chorus without accompaniment.
Minnie changed the atmosphere 180 degrees. This song was written and composed by Minnie herself. She held a standing mic and showed off her charming voice that went between low and high notes.
Soyeon showed off her unconventional 'Is This Bad B******* Number?'. During the performance, she took off her sexy hopi look and changed into a hip-hop look. She swept the stage with her chewy rap and charisma.
Miyeon's vocals tasted like soda. They were refreshing and cool. She decorated Neverland with her solo song 'Sky Walking', going back and forth between her true voice and falsetto. Miyeon's high notes also exploded along with the fireworks.
◆ 'I'm a Queencard'
Miyeon was moved by the passionate cheers of Anaheim fans at the end of the performance. She smiled as she said, "I want to hear it forever. I want to come to Anaheim every year."
When the members finished their final performance, there were shouts of "No!" everywhere. And screams erupted. Neverland fans shouted "Encore" and looked for (G)I-dle. (G)I-dle responded with "I want that."
Soyeon promised, "This is an unforgettable night. We'll come back with better music next time." Minnie said, "I'm surprised that time passed so quickly. I wish we had more opportunities to see each other."
The (real) last song was "I Do." The members couldn't leave their seats for a long time even after the last verse ended. They continued to send hearts and hand kisses to the audience to ease their regret.
"Today was a truly perfect day. Thanks to Neverland's cheers, passion, and love and support, all my fatigue disappeared. I hope that when you go back to your normal lives, you will be proud and love yourself." (Yuqi)
