EXO closed its sixth solo concert tour in Seoul with a three-hour encore show, powerful stages, fan singalongs, and promises to return.

EXO closed the curtain on its sixth solo concert tour. They performed a stage lasting about three hours, from intense performances to nostalgic hit songs and a huge singalong with EXO-L (the fans’ name), and promised to meet again. Yesterday (the 8th), they held “EXO PLANET #6 - EXhOrizon [dot]” at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Songpa District, Seoul. This performance, held over three days from the 6th, recorded sold-out seats for all shows, including restricted-view seats, and drew about 33,000 spectators. The concert title “EXhOrizon” is a word combining EXO and Horizon, and it contains the meaning that a new world opens at the boundary where the end and the beginning meet. By adding “dot,” which means a period, it signaled the end of the tour. That day, EXO appeared wearing gorgeous military-style costumes with striking epaulets, embroidery, and metal decorations, and opened the concert with “Crown.” While a giant 23-meter-diameter ring LED and truss lighting formed a crown, they livened up the venue with an intense performance. After performing “Monster,” they concluded the opening with “Suffocate,” which was being performed for the first time at this concert. After finishing the first stage, they greeted the fans filling the seats. Chanyeol said, “With this level of cheering right now, I feel like it won’t end with just two times,” responding to the excitement in the audience. D.O. said, “Today, after finishing the Asia tour and finally holding a concert in Seoul, I will burn away all the energy I have accumulated so far,” expressing his determination. Kai said, “Today is the final day. I’m very reluctant to let it end,” and added, “And it’s Sunday. You all have to go to work or school tomorrow. I want you to enjoy yourselves to the fullest today.” Leader Suho said, “Today is the ‘dot’ inside the ‘dot,’” and showed confidence by saying, “Among the three days, both you and the members are at the highest tension today. Actually, I’m the highest too.” Sehun said, “Today is really the last day. It won’t come back,” emphasizing, “Please enjoy it until the end.” Next, EXO performed “Moonlight Shadows,” “24/7,” and “Gravity” one after another. In “Sweet Lies,” the members’ silhouettes were projected onto LED screens covered by curtains, and mist effects were added to create a dreamlike atmosphere. In “Crazy,” they showed a different kind of charm with sophisticated dance. In particular, in “PLAYBOY,” “Artificial Love,” “The Eve,” and “Love Shot,” they delivered performances that highlighted mature charm and a sexy atmosphere, drawing loud cheers from the audience. In the title-song medley, the members, holding handheld microphones, performed “Tempo,” “Lotto,” “Ko Ko Bop,” and “CALL ME BABY” one after another. As the venue was filled with the fans’ huge singalong and loud chants, they ran to every corner of the stage while perfectly executing the point dances of each song. Next, they further heated up the atmosphere with an EDM medley made up of “Lucky One,” “POWER,” “Don’t fight the feeling,” and “Run.” Lasers were fired from the stage, and the audience’s light sticks shone in various colors. In some moments, many light sticks were all pointed toward one place at once in response to EXO’s direction. In particular, in response to the fans’ passionate request, they performed “Run” three times, and the excitement in the venue reached its peak. After finishing the EDM medley, they lay down on the stage looking exhausted, and after catching their breath for a while, they asked the fans to sing songs not on the set list. When the fans sang “Don’t Go” and “Unfair” without interruption even without lyric guides, EXO marveled, “Why are you so good at singing?” D.O. then said, “The songs we’ve sung so far are truly EXO’s old songs. I think memories are coming back. Next, I’m going to sing songs full of EXO memories. Especially songs that are perfect for this chilly weather. Shall we travel into memories together?” and introduced the next stage. EXO changed the mood with a winter-song medley consisting of “Sing For You,” “For Life,” “Universe,” and “The First Snow.” Having just shown intense performances, they captivated the audience with sweet vocals. There was also a stage for “I’m Home,” first unveiled at last December’s fan meeting “EXO'verse.” Next, in “Flatline,” visuals evoking the night sky and outer space spread along the horizon, creating a lyrical atmosphere. When EXO reappeared in outfits reminiscent of school uniforms and gym clothes, the atmosphere in the venue changed completely. The members, each showing individuality through different styling such as jerseys, jackets, shirts, and T-shirts, performed “History,” the second prologue single released before their debut. Then, after the refreshing charm of “LOVE ME RIGHT,” they closed the main concert with the hit song “Growl.” While waiting for the encore, fans sang “On the snow” in a huge chorus. The members, who returned to the stage, responded to the fans’ expectations by singing “Paradise” and “TENDER LOVE.” The fans also conveyed their feelings for EXO through a special event. In the card section, they completed the message, “A story written with our youth” and “Will you share the next page with us?” and revealed the slogan, “In EXO’s journey, ‘dot’ is a new beginning.” During the photo time, they all shouted, “EXO, let’s meet again,” and promised to reunite next time. EXO also gave their final greetings to the fans as the tour ended. Chanyeol said, “This was a performance where I deeply felt again how happy it is to perform on stage while seeing your faces and hearing the members’ voices,” and promised, “We will come back anytime with a better version of ourselves, with a version beyond what you expect.” D.O. said, “Today seems like it will become a day that remains in my lifetime as a memory. Your happy faces and smiles came through so strongly. Thanks to you, I can go home having received a lot of energy,” and shared his thoughts. Kai said, “I think the concerts on day one, day two, and day three each had different kinds of fun. It feels like this ‘dot’ was completed by combining all three days of concerts,” and told them, “We will come back with a more wonderful version of ourselves, so please wait a little longer.” Suho said, “Actually, preparing for ‘EXhOrizon’ and preparing for the new album ‘REVERSE’ were by no means easy,” and expressed gratitude to the members, staff, and fans. He then said, “Maybe because I was tired from dancing ‘RUN’ three times just now, I wanted this time to stop. I wanted it to stop as it is. I’m so happy,” and confessed, “I was truly happy because, together with the members and EXO-L, I felt as if we had forgotten everything and only we existed in this venue.” He added, “EXO will come back as soon as possible with new music and new performances. Please wait just a little. Is that okay?” and promised to meet again. Sehun said, “Certainly, I don’t think this performance is something we did by ourselves. If I dare to put it in percentages, the staff are 30%, we EXO are 30%, and you are 40%,” and conveyed his heartfelt thanks. Holding the microphone again before the final song, Suho said, “We will present a special song a little different from yesterday,” and said, “So that when you go home, wherever and whenever you are, EXO can remain your eternal Peter Pan for life,” and EXO ended the approximately three-hour performance with “Peter Pan.” Starting in Seoul in April, EXO held 27 performances in 14 regions around the world, including Ho Chi Minh City, Nagoya, Taipei, Bangkok, Macau, Osaka, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Tokyo, Kaohsiung, and Singapore. With this encore concert, they brought to a close their sixth solo concert tour, which continued for about seven months. • From NCT’s Jeno and Jaemin’s Japan debut to aespa’s tour!
