PROMOTIONNAL TEXT
TRENDZ is a South Korean boy band formed in 2021 by the label "Global H Média" Comprising seven talented members, TRENDZ made its grand debut in January 2022 and has since experienced a meteoric rise, already boasting 5 EPs under its belt. The latest two, "BLUE SET Chapter [NEW DAYZ]" and "STILL ON MY WAY," mark a turning point in their evolution. The group has garnered popularity that transcends borders, showcasing the full extent of its members' talents.
TRENDZ is now gearing up for its very first international tour: "TRENDZ WORLD TOUR [NEW DAYZ] in EUROPE." The name "NEW DAYZ" evokes the group members' favorite track and symbolizes a new day, a fresh start, which this tour will be for the group! Han Kook, Ha Vit, Leon, Yoon Woo, ra.L, Eun Il, and Ye Chan will be touring all over Europe from Paris to Istanbul, and even making a stop in Morocco. It's an exhilarating first tour for a K-pop group that is not to be missed!
L'ALHAMBRA
The Alhambra is a modest-sized venue with a maximum capacity of 600 people, including the balcony. Situated just steps away from République, it is ideally located in Paris. For tonight's performance, the technical setup was minimal: no stage decorations, no screens, no elaborate lighting effects, confetti, or VCR – in short, nothing to elaborate on. The sound quality was adequate, with only the backing track and the seven boys doing their best. However, the lighting effects were below average, making it sometimes difficult to see all the members of the group clearly. An LED screen or a backlit backdrop, even just featuring the group's logo or random images, would have enhanced the stage presentation significantly.
1RT PART
The opening act was performed by a female cover dance group : Horizons
At 8:10 PM, TRENDZ arrived on stage, focused and ready, and within the first few seconds, they treated us to an acrobatic feat! Setting the tone, the boys were ready to give it their all! They kicked off with "VAGABOND" (from the album BLUE SET Chapter. [UNKNOWN CODE]), where energy and dynamism were the key elements of the performance. There was no break as "TNT (Thruth&Trust)" (from the album BLUE SET Chapter 1. TRACKS) seamlessly followed with the same intensity. What a remarkable physical performance! The boys took a brief pause to catch their breath and introduce themselves to the audience with joy and cheerfulness.
Continuing with tracks from the album BLUE SET Chapter 1. TRACKS, they performed "Villain." The energy displayed by all seven members was incredible, and they all wore bright smiles in their red and black attire. Moving on to "Clique" from the album BLUE SET Chapter 2. CHOICE, the atmosphere remained electric as the audience cheered the group on. The glow of cell phones and light sticks illuminated the crowd, creating a sense of rising power in the room! This feeling only intensified with the performance of their hit single "NEW DAYZ," resonating throughout the packed Alhambra.
2ND PART
The boys exit the stage and return in a new all-denim outfit for special stage covers of renowned international artists. From Supermarket Flowers (Ed Sheeran) to Rewrite the Stars by James Arthur, the choices are well-thought-out, allowing the group to showcase their vocal quality while giving themselves a breather. They quickly dive back into the action with "ㅁ (BE MY LOVE)" from the album BLUE SET Chapter 1. TRACKS, an ultra-danceable track that gets the crowd swaying from side to side. "GO UP" (from the album of the same name) is the group's latest single, released just last January. It epitomizes the TRENDZ style: energetic, vocally strong, and brimming with smiles!
Next up is "Ven conmigo (STILL ON MY WAY)." Who wouldn't want a dynamic track featuring rap and harmonious bridges? It's now time for "WHO [吼]." As the concert draws to a close, the iconic TRENDZ track "MY WAY" takes center stage! Almost forgotten amidst the excitement is the dance cover segment, so beloved by the group (given their origins as INTER BOYS, specializing in dance covers). For nearly 10 minutes, the members seamlessly transitioned through titles such as "Boy with Luv" by BTS, "Crazy Form" by ATEEZ, "Baggy Jeans" by NCT U, "God Of Music" by SEVENTEEN, and "LALALALA" by Stray Kids.
ENCORE
"FOREVER MORE" serves as the perfect encore song, where the group doesn't hesitate to shower the audience with high-quality fan service: from heart gestures, videos sent by FRIENDZ via their phones, smiles, and friendly waves to the balcony audience, the boys spared no effort! For the final (and truly final) song of the concert, it's once again "NEW DAYZ," where Havit, Hankook, ra.L, YoonWoo, Leon, Yechan, and Eunil give their all to the fans, just as they did with "FOREVER MORE." The traditional photo/video with the audience, one last spin around the stage, and the group leaves amidst the applause of a captivated audience.
CONCLUSION
Above all, what stands out is the group's positivity, their desire to do well, and their generosity. Despite the relatively basic technical setup of the concert, which didn't allow the group to shine even brighter, it was Havit, Hankook, ra.L, YoonWoo, Leon, Yechan, and Eunil who, thanks to their talent, took on the heavy responsibility of delivering 200% for their first world tour. Kudos to the group, and here's hoping we'll see them again soon!
Big thanks to GLOBAL H Média for the accreditation and their trust. And a heartfelt thank you to TRENDZ for this incredible performance.
