OnlyOneOf delivered a powerful and wild performance to lyOns, fans of the group, during their Houston show on April 9th.
The show began with their song “chrOme arts” soliciting lively cheers from fans as they sang along during parts of the song.The members reciprocated the energy and let the audience take control of the lyrics.
OnlyOneOf is known for their risque and sensual concepts. They asked the crowd what they believed was their most powerful and their sexiest songs, who in turn responded with loud cheers and a unanimous answer: “libidO.” The members confirmed it was indeed their top track “libidO” shifting into an alluring atmosphere as the song began. The members reassured the crowd that even if they didn't know the lyrics it was important to
“just have fun and even make them up as they went.”
During their intermission, there was a short video that played onstage, showcasing the member’s individual personalities as they showed the behind the scenes of their lives while filming. During this behind the scenes video, they playfully teased each other and answered questions fans may have about their content. Soon after the video ended, the members performed their individual solos.
The members changed into matching red and white outfits to change up the vibe of their next set of songs. Yoojung created a sensual atmosphere with his song "begin”, a synthpop tinged track. KB brought the sexy ambience with his solo track “be free”, singing about spending a night out with someone special. Junji performed a slightly more relaxed song "be mine” while still keeping the passionate energy alive. Mill changed up the mood with "beat", a rap heavy track, inspiring the audience to dance along with the rhythm. Nine slowed it down with "beyOnd” and brought Mill in as they danced with each other intimately, earning cheers from fans.
The members took a moment to ask fans if they knew a certain song, this earned a mixed response from the crowd and getting a worrying response from the group “is the Gwenchana challenge more popular than our songs?” The Gwenchana challenge refers to a popular TikTok audio that idols and the kpop community partake in. Fans laughed at the comment as the members mirrored them and recreated the dance.
Moving onto the next segment, the group performed some of their softer ballad tracks featuring romantic lyrics. Fans mirrored the members as they swayed their hands along with the
music. During their song “Seoul Drift”, they followed their trend for the tour a d changed the lyrics to fit the current city's mood -- for this stop, they changed to “Houston Drift” instead. This was accompanied by a simple dance move
that the members taught the audience, mirroring that of a cowboy on a horse. A common occurrence in kpop concerts, the latter portion of the concert featured a short music video, highlighting each member. Audience screams could be heard throughout the venue at such a high volume that the group teased them about it in their ending comments.
As the show came to a close, OnlyOneOf sang one last song, their collaboration with notable and award-nominated South Korean producer Gray, “angel”. As a final “thank you” to the audience, the group made sure to leave a lasting impression on fans by splashing them with water and throwing their tour shirts into the crowd.
Overall the sultry atmosphere and erotic vibe of the OnlyOneOf concert made for an unforgettable night for lyOns and attracted the interest of attendees who may not have been familiar with the group beforehand.
