STAYC Returns to Seattle for "STAY TUNED" Global Tour
K-pop group STAYC is making a return to Seattle this week as part of their "STAY TUNED" Global Tour. The six-member group, known for their dynamic performances and chart-topping hits, previously graced the stage in Seattle in 2023 at Showbox SODO. This time around, they will be performing at the Paramount Theatre on Thursday.
Since their debut in 2020, STAYC has established themselves as a prominent name in the K-pop industry with popular tracks such as "SO BAD," "ASAP," and "RUN2U." Recently, they released their latest single, "I WANT IT," which has been generating excitement among fans.
Touring is a significant part of the group's journey, and they have noted that there are differences in fan behavior between the U.S. and Korean audiences. According to one member, Yoon, Korean fans tend to enjoy concerts with a sense of order and unity, while U.S. fans express themselves more like at a festival, with lots of singing and dancing. This difference influences how the group prepares for each performance.
The set list for the tour is carefully curated to include fan favorites and songs that resonate well during live performances. Member Isa shared that the group tries to balance these elements to create an engaging experience for their audience. Seeun, another member, mentioned her personal favorites to perform, including "BEAUTIFUL MONSTER," "RUN2U," and "SO BAD."
Seattle marks the first stop on the North American leg of the tour, and the group is excited to reconnect with their American fans. Sieun expressed her enthusiasm about returning to Seattle, noting that they will perform "I Want It," their new track, for the first time in the U.S. This is a significant highlight of the tour for the group.
Over the past five years since their debut, STAYC has evolved their sound and learned what resonates best with their fans. They have also recognized the importance of unit performances, which add variety to their shows and provide a break during the concert. These performances are highly anticipated by their fans.
The group has been actively touring across Asia from June to August, and their consistent efforts reflect the dedication required for a successful K-pop tour. Balancing the demanding schedule with their health and well-being is essential for the members. Sumin shared that the energy from meeting fans keeps them motivated, and the time spent together during the tour creates lasting memories.
Fan energy is a driving force for K-pop groups, and STAYC is no exception. The growing global fanbase has provided them with more opportunities to share their music worldwide. Isa highlighted the passion and support from fans, regardless of language barriers, expressing gratitude for their continued encouragement.
As they prepare for their U.S. tour, member J conveyed a message to American fans, emphasizing the excitement surrounding the new setlist. The group is eager to reunite with their fans and experience the energy once again.
The performance at the Paramount Theatre on Thursday, October 2, at 8 p.m., is a must-see event for fans. Tickets are still available online via Ticketmaster.
