Choi Yena, from IZ*ONE, successfully finished her Seoul performance, marking a successful start to her Asia tour. On the 4th and 5th, she held the Seoul performance of '2026 YENA LIVE TOUR [A World That Can Be Grasped or Not, 2 Worlds!]' at Blue Square in Yongsan, Seoul, meeting with fans. This performance follows her first solo concert held last year, 'A Different World Starting from a Square! Travel,' and is the second chapter. If the previous concert was the first chapter that opened Choi Yena's own world, this performance adds meaning as a stage where that world is fully expanded. On this day, she opened with a splendid performance of 'Catch Catch' and 'NEMONEMO.' She expressed, 'I worked hard to show a new concept and stage that you usually cannot see,' and added, 'I prepared with the feeling that this time with Yena would be like a happy dream, stepping a little out of reality to experience another world.' She showcased a diverse setlist including 'Drama Queen,' 'U,' 'I Hate the Word Kind,' 'Sugar,' 'It Would Be Better If It Wasn't You,' and 'Lxxk 2 U,' providing various delights to fans with different arrangements for each day. On the first day, her older brother Choi Seongmin featured in the stage of 'Because It's Spring,' showcasing sibling chemistry, and guest Yoon Machi joined for a heartfelt performance in 'Sticker.' On the second day, TEMPEST's LEW and Hyuk took the stage, completing special collaborations with 'Because It's Spring' and 'Question Mark,' respectively. Not only with diverse stages, but Choi Yena also expanded the journey leading fans, whom she called 'adventurers,' into a fantasy world, enhancing the immersion of the performance with sincere comments. At the end of the concert, she stated, 'There are still many points that are lacking, but I will continue to work hard to become a singer that fans won't be ashamed of,' and expressed her heartfelt thoughts, asking for praise and advice to become a better person and cooler singer, hoping fans would watch over her for a long time. After creating special memories with fans during photo time, she continued the heat of the concert until the end with an encore stage. After successfully finishing her Seoul performance, Choi Yena will meet global fans through her Asia tour, continuing to Macau, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.
