NCT's Taeyong successfully concluded a solo concert that proved his overwhelming growth, signaling the full-scale start of activities in 2026. The '2026 TAEYONG CONCERT' was held for two days from the 24th to the 25th at the Seoul Olympic Park Ticket Link Live Arena (Handball Stadium), with the second day live-streamed through Beyond LIVE and Weverse, allowing fans worldwide who were eagerly waiting for Taeyong's stage to enjoy it together. The first song, 'Locked And Loaded,' set the tone with a powerful beat as a giant screen opened, revealing Taeyong, who performed five unreleased new songs: 'Skiii,' filled with unwavering ambition; 'Am I In Love Or Not,' exploring uncertain feelings of love; 'Mermaid,' expressing affection for waiting fans; and 'Feeling Myself,' showcasing a neo-identity. Through a setlist of 23 songs, he proved his accumulated skills and growth, showcasing his identity as a 'complete artist.' Additionally, Taeyong transformed the atmosphere with the fast-paced melody of 'Run Away,' elevated the mood with a rock arrangement in 'TAP,' and led a sing-along with powerful rapping in 'Misfit.' He created a sense of unity with the audience in 'Love Theory,' where he interacted closely with fans, and shared his honest feelings in 'Back to the Past.' After a long time meeting fans, he prepared a stage full of togetherness that further excited the audience. The performance also featured reinterpreted and expanded versions of previously popular stage effects, such as 'Ups & Downs,' which enhanced the lonely mood using a conveyor belt, '404 File Not Found,' which created a moonlit swimming effect with wires and spotlighting, and 'Moon Tour,' which harmonized diver lifts and mystical visuals to create a floating atmosphere in space. The concert provided a differentiated stage experience unique to the remastered performance, drawing enthusiastic cheers. Furthermore, the show centered around a CD-shaped flower path symbolizing Taeyong's music, featuring large LED screen visuals that highlighted the song concepts, various stage devices like folding stairs, lifts, and turntables that accentuated the performance, and a dazzling combination of lasers, lighting, and fireworks, vividly embodying Taeyong's unique neo-personality and performance. In concluding the performance, Taeyong expressed gratitude for the warm welcome, stating, 'I worked hard to show a more grown-up version of myself than at my first concert. This was a time to deeply feel my gratitude for the unwavering support from Shizuni (NCT's fan name). With this as motivation, I will continue to stand on stage in 10 or 20 years.' He added, 'This year, I will do my best as a solo artist, as NCT 127, and as NCT, so please look forward to it.' Following the Seoul concert, Taeyong will continue his tour in Jakarta on February 7, Yokohama on February 16-17, Macau on February 28-March 1, Bangkok on March 28-29, and Kuala Lumpur on April 11.
