2023.04.02 | Seven member boy group TAN (To All Nations) makes their way to the Atlanta Coliseum here in Duluth, GA!!! On April 2, 2023, the group consisting of Changsun, Jooan, Jaejun, Sunghyuk, Hyunyeop, Taehoon, and Jiseong were ready to meet and treat SODA (their fans) to a memorable night during their first ever US tour... FESTIVAL STYLE. Attendees were also able to experience an array of K-pop merch tables and food vendors while cheering on many stages of K-pop dance covers and musicians before meeting TAN!
Leading the festival was none other than our first dance cover performer, Jey Noelle! Noelle is no stranger to the stage, nor the K-Pop community. Although she may have hit the stage solo, fans were nonstop cheering as they enjoyed her K-pop medley cover consisting of "INCEPTION" (ATEEZ), "Same Scent" (ONEUS), "DU DU DU" (TAN), and "LOCO" (ITZY).
Next to the stage was none other than Alan Z & Squalle! For our #SoundLovers out there, this is a duo we feel you will enjoy. Their flow was insane with an overall spectacular stage presence! Be sure to stay tuned for more to come from this Actor, Musician, Writer in the future.
The second dance cover stage was like no other! 4REIGN may have been 3rd to the stage, but they slayed with their dynamic performance of "MAVERICK" by The Boyz! Each member possessed an energy and passion that was just so aspiring and fun to watch. What a stage to experience right before meeting TAN!
During a brief intermission, fans were able to enjoy listening to some fan favorites before the venue lights went dim and the intro video hit the big screen! It was the
moment all of SODA was waiting for!!!
TAN hit the stage strong with "Fix You", the group's latest title track with cheers filling the venue without ceasing! They quickly followed with their well known debut song "Du Du Du" before introducing themselves one by one to their beloved fans.
It was then time for the guys to turn on their charms during the stages of "My Heart" and Beautiful Lie." SODA was enjoying this change of pace and the members couldn't hide their smiles any longer! After these two stages, each member of TAN would take turns picking and answering a fan question, written prior to the event, from the "Ask TAN" board before continuing on to the unit stages the guys had prepared.
The first unit group consisted of Jooan, Sunghyuk, Hyunyeop and Taehoon who performed "Dream of You," which was then followed by "Would You" showcasing Changsun, Jaejun and Jiseong. The guys thought it would be cute to troll each other on who had the winning unit stage song; However, for SODA, both stages were equally winners in this friendly unit competition! The guys then returned as a unified group in order to serenade fans with their beautiful ballad "It's You." Throughout the venue you could see the tears in some of the fans' eyes, as well as arms waving side to side to the guys' breathtaking vocals!
TAN planned a very special segment for SODA during their second fan engagement portion of the show. Prior to entering the venue, fans were asked to write down their phone numbers for an opportunity to receive a call from the members! We were lucky enough to be near a SODA who received the first call, on her birthday, with Changsun (who she has supported since his debut in 24K). This segment was one of the sweetest moments of the night as seven (7) lucky fans approached the stage to embrace the members before receiving a gift bag that contained a signed album and other prizes.
TAN then moved on to two fan favorites "Walking on the Moon" and "Louder" to end the night right, or so we thought. The stage was left empty only for a moment before the members returned with their encore songs "Adorable" and "Diving to the Top," where they got closer to SODA before having to say our final goodbyes!
Although it was time for SODA to say "goodbye" from the floor, the night was far from over. SODA began lining up for the various fan interactions that KYOO Live Entertainemnt, Kor.us Entertainment and KPop Nation Atlanta had planned! While some SODA were enjoying a fansign and taking selfies with the members of TAN, others were still on the dance floor enjoying an amazing Random Dance Play (RDP) that consisted of newer and older fan favorites. Following this fan favorite event, we seen killer stages from N.Bloom, Seoul of Atlanta and 4NK before ending the night with one final RDP.
