DK and Seungkwan of SEVENTEEN delivered warm encouragement to over 24,000 fans. From April 17 to 19, their first solo tour "DxS [Serenade] ON STAGE - INCHEON" was held at Incheon Inspire Arena. The concert tickets sold out through FC membership pre-sale, and the additional limited-view seats also sold out. Fans from 80 countries and regions, including Japan, the USA, Singapore, and China, connected to the online live streaming over three days. The two proved their wide vocal abilities with a diverse setlist, including songs from their 1st mini-album "Serenade," unreleased new song "Relax," and the recently released "Feel Me," which topped the Korean YouTube daily shorts chart. Their serenade colored the 3 hours and 30 minutes with newly arranged SEVENTEEN songs and unit songs that fans had long awaited, such as "Habit," "Same dream, same mind, same night," and "Dust." In the solo stage, each of their different colors stood out. Seungkwan's deep voice shone in the performances of "Dandelion," "Dream Serenade," and "Time Lapse (original song: Taeyeon)," deeply moving the audience. Meanwhile, DK radiated refreshing charm with "A journey (original song: Wonpil)," "Go!" and "Rockstar," where he played the guitar at the ending, receiving applause. The talk corner, where they shared music-related stories while presenting short live performances, was decorated with different episodes and songs each day. The live session with string instruments and chorus completed a more dramatic sound, and the lyrical production using drones and lighting maximized the audience's immersion. A VCR parodying the music video of the title song "Blue" from the 1st mini-album also drew attention. DK and Seungkwan played the roles of actors No Sang-hyun and Lee Yu-mi, with Mingyu making a surprise cameo. DK and Seungkwan expressed, "It was strange and proud since it was our first unit performance. It is a precious and important stage. We hope our songs can deliver comfort, empathy, and support to everyone. We would be happy if this performance remains a happy memory for you all." The other SEVENTEEN members also supported from the audience, showing a strong bond. DK and Seungkwan will continue their tour at Makuhari Messe in Chiba on April 29-30, EXCO in Daegu on May 30-31, The Venetian Arena in Macau on June 6, and Kaohsiung Arena in Taiwan on July 25.
