A Night That Deepened the Bond with SWITH in Their Third Year Since Debuting in Japan
A Detailed Report Looking Back on STAYC’s First Solo Concert in Japan, 25 songs that highlighted the main vocalist-level skills of all members
As part of their world tour, STAYC held the "2025 STAYC TOUR [STAY TUNED] in Japan." On June 5th, they performed at COOL JAPAN PARK OSAKA WW Hall in Osaka, and on the 7th, they held their very first solo concert at TACHIKAWA STAGE GARDEN in Tokyo.
When the red lights started flashing, the word "STAYC" appeared on the screen. Bathed in flickering red lights, the members appeared on stage wearing white outfits adorned with jewels. Their mere presence was so radiant that the anticipation in the venue soared instantly.
The first song, "BEBE," was just released in March of this year and is a track that revealed a new, more mature side of STAYC. Just as anticipated, the members showed perfectly synchronized dance moves, occasionally breaking into smiles, exuding the confidence of a group in their fifth year since debut. The following track, "1 Thing," began with an elegant dance to a retro-pop melody, but during the interlude, the performance ramped up in power to match the energetic drums. Yoon’s high notes electrified the crowd right from the start of the concert. When "Poppy," one of STAYC’s signature songs, began with the shout, "If you’re ready, make some noise!", the excitement in the audience quickly reached its peak.
The theme of this tour is "2025 STAYC TOUR [STAY TUNED] in Japan." "STAY TUNE" is an English phrase often used in TV shows meaning "Don’t change the channel!", but as Yoon explained, "It also carries the wish for everyone to keep watching over STAYC. It means we hope you’ll subscribe to our channel and continue to follow us on our journey." During the talk segments between songs, the members made a clear effort to use Japanese they had worked hard to learn, sometimes immediately repeating Japanese phrases spoken by the interpreter, showing their desire to entertain their Japanese SWITH (STAYC’s fandom name).
Next up was their sixth Japanese single, "Lover, Killer." The performance was both powerful and fragile, with STAYC’s two standout vocalists, Sieun and Yoon, delivering impactful high notes. In "BEAUTIFUL MONSTER," which began with a melancholic acoustic guitar, the two’s clear voices pierced right through the center of the venue. The choreography and expressions beautifully evoked the image of a melancholy "beautiful monster," just as the title suggests, making it a stage that truly demonstrated STAYC’s expressive power. "Cheeky Icy Thang," which started with a member call, is a song packed with STAYC’s unique personality within its bright, pop melody. At one moment, they hyped up the SWITH in the audience with big claps overhead, and the next, captivated everyone with powerful, perfectly synchronized dancing. They showed both sides of STAYC’s charm to the fullest.
One of the highlights of this live show was the unit and solo stages. "Find," performed by Sieun, Seeun, and J, was a stage full of mature STAYC allure. Isa appeared with a single red rose in her hair, delivering a sexy performance of "Roses" that was a complete departure from her usual cuteness, captivating SWITH with her confident gaze. Sumin and Yoon sang "Fakin’" using mic stands, focusing on their vocals. The contrast between Yoon’s breathy falsetto and Sumin’s clear, high tones was striking, and the adorable moment when Sumin hugged Yoon tightly around the waist at the end drew huge cheers from the SWITH in the audience.
"YOUNG LUV," which all the members sang using mic stands, was a stage that truly demonstrated STAYC’s vocal talent. Usually, attention tends to focus on Sieun and Yoon, but even in the world of K-POP, it’s rare to find a group like STAYC where every member can sing at a main vocal level. "Nada," performed only at the Tokyo show, "Beauty Bomb," which began with Isa and Seeun facing each other and making eye contact, and "Meant To Be," a city pop song characteristic of STAYC, featured Seeun’s beautiful high notes.
While talking to the audience between songs, Sieun mentioned that many SWITH seemed surprised when the intro to "Nada" started playing, and Yoon confidently explained that "Nada" means "It’s me!" (In Korean, "Nada" means "It’s me"). Additionally, recalling that Yoon had asked fans at the Osaka show to look up the lyrics to "Meant To Be," they had the interpreter translate the chorus lyrics: "In this vast universe, I met a star like you and came to love you. It means I came to see you after a long time," and as Yoon reflected, "Wow, we really are destined, aren’t we?" Sumin added, "We are destined," sending hearts to the audience.
While they had shown a more mature side so far, STAYC’s cuteness was still alive and well.In "STEREOTYPE," which combines poppy cuteness with a gentle charm, they charmed the audience by saying "SWITH daisuki♡" ("We love you, SWITH♡"), and in the lively "Bubble," the six members danced with sparkling smiles. As the members threw signed balls into the audience, Yoon wound up and threw hers all the way to the second floor, drawing loud cheers for her powerful arm.
In "Trouble Maker," they bounced energetically across the stage, and the audience’s penlights swayed joyfully from side to side in time with the members’ movements. When Sumin asked, "Will you sing together with us now?", all the SWITH in the venue sang along loudly. Wanting to hear the crowd, Seeun took out one of her in-ear monitors, and the cheerful "Woo Wee!" calls from STAYC and SWITH echoed throughout the venue. The fun, bright, and energetic stage that is so characteristic of STAYC brought the night to its peak.

| Each Member’s Words of Love and Gratitude for SWITH
Changing into white and red outfits, the group appeared on stage as the concert entered its final stretch. In a complete shift from the earlier lively performances, Sieun’s lustrous high notes in "Twenty" drew the audience into a mysterious world. The rich harmonies of this song created a deeply moving atmosphere, and then, with "GPT," STAYC delivered a stage filled with their signature girlish cuteness. Watching the SWITH in the audience sway along to the music, Sieun delightedly remarked, "SWITH are not only good at singing, but also at dancing!" She then encouraged, "Since everyone is so good at dancing, let’s all stand up and enjoy together from here," prompting the entire venue to rise to their feet. As if signaling the final sprint, the group shouted, "Are you ready to run?" and launched into "RUN2U," a song with an impressive drum and bass sound. Yoon’s vocals intertwined with J’s rap, and the audience’s excitement soared.
In the following song, "ASAP," the group responded to the loud cheers with boundless energy. Despite the cute nature of the song, the dance was hard-hitting, but they kept smiling to the very end. Next, "Teddy Bear" brought a stage brimming with STAYC’s signature smiles, drawing huge cheers from the crowd. Sumin praised it, saying, "So much energy, it was the best!" For this tour, a freestyle dance part was added to "ASAP," where one member dances freely and the others mimic the choreography. On this day, Seeun was in charge, but when Isa pressed her, "Seeun, did you really dance properly?", Seeun started making excuses: "Everyone enjoyed Isa’s solo stage earlier, so I thought I had to imitate that...". Then, in Japanese, she shouted, "I’m not Isa!" Perhaps embarrassed to strike sexy poses like Isa, Seeun’s attempt ended up a bit awkward—and the other members even mimicked her unfinished moves, turning it into a fun and memorable moment.
For the final song of the main set, "SO BAD," the group made a dramatic shift from their previous energetic performances to a serious mode. With Sumin and J’s low tones standing out, all members took on vocal parts, delivering this challenging song, which blends sorrow and intensity, with impressive skill.
For the encore, all members changed into the tour’s baseball shirts and entered the audience from the back doors. They took photos with SWITH, made heart signs, and delighted fans with close-up fan service, sending the venue into a frenzy. The next song, "Tell Me Now," was a Japanese song performed only at the Tokyo show. When Isa said, "'Tell Me Now' is my favorite song," Sumin added, "This song is perfect for taking a shower," making SWITH laugh.
From here, each member shared their thoughts on the day. J smiled and said, "Everyone was so energetic today, I feel confident about the rest of the tour." She added, "Whenever I come to Tokyo, I always make so many good memories, and I hope we can meet again many more times," finishing with, "I love you!" Sieun expressed surprise that they had already released six singles in Japan, saying, "Thank you for staying with us even now, three years after our Japan debut. Whether you’ve loved us since our debut or just started liking us yesterday, I’m grateful to all of you." Seeun, recalling that while they had held fan meetings in Japan before, this was their first concert, was clearly energized by the excitement: "Getting this energy here makes me feel like I can work hard for the rest of the world tour and our activities. We’ll keep showing you wonderful stages, so please keep supporting us forever," she said, making a heart gesture.
Isa reflected, "Today was our last show in Japan. I had so much fun, and I’m happy you all enjoyed it too." She added, "I hope today’s concert was special for SWITH," and in Japanese, "Let’s meet again, it’s a promise," holding out her pinky finger to the audience as if making a promise. Sumin declared, "I gave my all to this stage today." She was pleased that her condition was good and she could perform without regrets. She concluded in Japanese, "You are always our happiness. Thank you so much for staying by our side."
Yoon, showing a bit of fatigue, said, "Today, I sang and danced as if my body could break." Still, she added with a smile, "Even though I’m tired, I really felt how much Japanese SWITH support us." She declared, "As long as SWITH are here, STAYC will always fly to Japan," and ended with renewed energy: "Great job today! Great job to STAYC! And great job to SWITH for waving your penlights, standing up, and cheering so much!"
Before the final song of the day, Sieun recommended monjayaki as her "chometchu" (dinner menu suggestion), saying, "Monjayaki is a Tokyo food, right? I haven’t tried it yet, but if I get the chance before going back to Korea, I’d like to."
The last encore song was "Stay WITH me," a song expressing love for SWITH. Pouring their remaining energy into the performance, the members kept smiling at the audience until the very end, showing just how much they love their fans. Sumin said, "We’ll be back again soon," leaving everyone looking forward to STAYC’s next return to Japan.
Bezzy will be publishing an interview with STAYC soon. Stay tuned!
