Review of the last day of the concert ‘Dearest Youth’ held at the handball stadium on the 3rd.
Finale of the first Asian tour… 15,000 people gathered for 3 days from the 1st
[서울=뉴시스]Reporter Lee Jae-hoon = Doyoung of the group ‘NCT’ was holding his back straight and recalling “fragmented memories.”
On the last day of the concert ‘Dearest Youth’ held at the Olympic Park Handball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 3rd, the absorbing power of ‘From the End Again’ and ‘Warmth’, which Doyoung uttered, was “colored to the depths of my heart.”
Doyoung’s warm tone shined even brighter when he spoke carefully onomatopoeia words like “tuk-tuk.” Without dancing, he shook the emotions of the listeners with just his voice. The term ‘still movement’ is used in situations like this. Although the temperature was high that day, sweat was beading on my forehead from how hard I was singing.
It was Doyoung, not NCT’s Doyoung, who released his first solo album ‘Youth Foam’ (YOUTH) last April. They do not owe the rights to the song to NCT, but created it themselves.
On this day, along with the scent that spread throughout the concert hall, they sang many songs from ‘Foam of Youth’, including ‘Firefly’, which opened the stage. Foam refers to bubbles that form when water hits other water or objects. Those big and small bubbles change something and make it stronger. It is no exaggeration to say that on the 8th anniversary of a K-pop idol’s debut, they have gone through all the ups and downs. Doyoung’s charm is that he overcomes the storm with softness and cuteness, like the neatness given by the word foam.
Although he boasts a superb singing voice, he does not carelessly boast about his technique in his singing. He covered Lee Moon-se’s ‘Flying in the Deep Night’ and Park Hyo-shin’s ‘Snow Flower’, and Doyoung’s strength is that he sings it plainly and cleanly without imitating the aura of the original song. By reminding me of the blank space of youth, I return youth with all my might. That’s the youth of Czennie (NCT fandom).
This is why ‘dearest’, which is the superlative form of ‘dear’ and is written to a loved one at the beginning of a letter, was included in the performance title. At the beginning of the performance, Doyoung said, “It means that I will try to support the youth in any way possible through the songs I can sing.” He added, “If there is even one song in the movie that feels like ‘Today’s OST is this’, I will do it.” “If it happens, I really think today will be a success,” he said.
Doyoung succeeded that day. Because there is someone here who chose ‘From Little Wave’ as today’s OST and listened to it all the way home after the performance. What made it possible to have such an OST was also the power of Doyoung’s singing skills. Because it is persuasive. To achieve such powerful singing ability, Doyoung continues to replenish his energy during the performance. One of them is eating bananas. There is also an anecdote that Kim Hyun-sik, a guest who often skipped meals, often ate bananas, saying they were a complete food.
Doyoung did not forget NCT’s identity. At the same time, it also brought something new. As the team’s main vocalist, he borrowed the format of the online content ‘Killing Bus’ and performed a rap medley of hit songs from his unit NCT 127, including ‘Parade’ and ‘Fact Check’. NCT 127’s ‘Sticker’ and Do Jae-jung’s ‘Kiss’ performed R&B pop arrangements that showed off their skillful singing along with a live band. Just like the phrase he displayed on the screen, he continued to grow. The rap was full of groove, and the high notes were stable until the end.
On this day, NCT127’s Johnny, EXO‘s Suho and Dio, Red Velvet’s Seulgi, etc. cheered from the audience. A total of 15,000 people gathered from the 1st to this day. This performance marks the finale of Doyoung’s first Asian tour, which successfully completed 15 performances in nine regions.
So Doyoung gave Czennie a gift. The live performance of the new pop-rock song ‘Chillingly Dazzling’, which will be released on the 6th, was performed for the first time at this encore performance.
Hitmaker KENZIE (Kim Yeon-jung) wrote the lyrics, and Seo Dong-hwan, the composer of singer IU’s ‘Love Wins All’, one of the biggest hits of the year, along with Doyoung, co-composed the song. Doyoung, who is at the end of his 20s, contains a message of support for everyone who is living in the same time zone as him, who has sprinted through his 20s.
“A child of that cold, blue, dazzling day / I stopped for a moment on the road I ran breathlessly all the way to my chin / I smiled.”
The picture of Doyoung and our youth foam running breathlessly beneath the surface as if swimming is dazzling like this.
