EXO's Baekhyun proved himself as a solo artist with a successful first solo concert in Seoul, showcasing his singing and dancing skills.

Baekhyun of EXO proved his position as a solo artist through his first solo offline concert. On the 16th and 17th of this month, he successfully completed the Seoul performance "Lonsdaleite' in SEOUL," the first solo offline concert and the first of the 2024 Asia tour, at the Seoul Olympic Park KSPO DOME (formerly the gymnastics arena). In front of the audience who filled the KSPO DOME, Baekhyun appeared on the "Diamond" stage and delivered a blissful time with overwhelming performances from the opening session. He expressed his gratitude to the fans and put his heart into it by modifying the choreography of "Diamond" and "Playboy" for this concert, changing the rap part to a singing rap that showcased his strengths. He also showcased a flying stage with LED lighting on the ceiling for "UN Village" and a large staircase for "Love Again," creating a sense of admiration and pleasure. A large bed appeared on the stage for "Cry For Love," highlighting his sexiness. Baekhyun showed confidence, saying, "I am very happy to see everyone's faces up close and feel that everyone is very satisfied. I want to show you various new sides starting from today." He added new dance breaks to "Betcha" and "Candy," and his powerful singing voice throughout all the songs demonstrated his strength. He explained, "I wanted to show EXO-L (EXO's fans) a wonderful stage and appeal to my feelings, but I gained a lot instead. I really like the tikitaka (good chemistry and lively interaction) between everyone and me, and it's really good." "Lonsdaleite" is especially meaningful as it is his first solo concert offline in 12 years since his debut. He said, "I was nervous because it was my first time, but I felt relieved when I saw everyone's smiles who shared my first time with me. It feels like I'm realizing and growing on my own. Let's meet at happy performances in the future." In response, fans prepared tetchan, slogans, and a hologram event for the encore. Baekhyun chose the powerful performance song "PARANOIA" for the encore stage and made eye contact with the audience again on the flying stage. He expressed his affection, saying, "Every moment with EXO-L is an unforgettable memory," and announced, "I have no time to rest when I think about EXO-L, who allows me to develop infinitely. I will continue to show you various sides for everyone in the future, so please look forward to it." Following the Seoul performance, he will hold a concert at the Musashino Forest Sports Plaza Main Arena in Tokyo on the 23rd and 24th of this month and plans to meet fans in 12 cities in Asia in the future. He will also appear at the opening game of the 2024 Major League Baseball regular season, "MLB World Tour Seoul Series 2024," at the Seoul High Chochuk Sky Dome on the 21st of this month and is scheduled to sing the national anthems of Korea and the United States unaccompanied.
