Just shy of a six month wait, TAN has made their return to shake up the hearts of Atlanta SODA once more!
Before hosting one of the most aniticpated concerts of the season, the Aurora Theatre was a scene filled with smiles and laughter as SODA arrived to pass out freebies, compliment each other, meet up with their fellow out-of-state SODA, and particpate in random dance plays. Shortly after SODA's arrival, the 500-seat Lawrenceville theatre, housed remarkable performances from K-Pop boy-group, TAN.
What made this concert unlike any on the tour so far? K-Pop boy-groupTAN -- short for To All Nations consisting of members Changsun, Jooan, Jaejun, Sunghyuk, Taehoon and Jiseong -- had performed for Atlanata SODA the night before at the Atlanta Korean Festival in Norcross, Georgia. Although Hyunyeop, the seventh member of TAN, could not make it to perform with the rest of the members for their 2nd World Tour, SODA could be heard cheering for Hyunyeop and was seen carrying around pickets and signs of Hyunyeop at both the festival and the concert.
The start of the show was signaled as the lights dimmed, the cheers began, and a countdown appeared on the screen. As the countdown neared it's end, you could hear SODA in unison counting along, "FIVE!.... FOUR!... THREE!... TWO!.... ONE!..." followed by more cheering as the members of TAN took the stage of the now darkened venue. TAN set the tone for the high-energy and fun-filled night that was ahead for SODA as they began the night by perfoming fan-favorite, "Walking On The Moon." The night continued with beautiful melodies, honey-like vocals, powerful rap verses, and high-energy dance numbers as more fan favorites were performed, such as, "Beautiful Lie," "Artificial Heart," "My Heart," and "Louder" before a brief Q&A session, a "TAN ONLY" stage,... and MC Changsun??
TAN paused for just a brief moment to answer questions that SODA had written down prior to checking in, and picking up thier SODA PIX tickets. The members answered questions like "What is your favorite food?" where they expressed that they enjoyed the food from their recent trip to a Waffle House. However, they did not just limit their choices to serious questions, but they also chose questions they found intersting, such as, "Do you believe in aliens?" where they would joke that they were in fact aliens. The even chose one that would make a SODAs night extra special. She had asked for them to sing "Happy Birthday!" After they wrapped up their Q&A session, SODA was already ready for more, that they were out of their seats, standing, and waiting for the next stage before being told to take a seat as this stage was a "TAN ONLY" stage. For the "TAN ONLY stage," we were greeted with a random dance play that included songs such as "Seven" by Jungkook of BTS, "S-Class" by Stray Kids, and (our favorite) "Gento" by SB19. Once this compilation stage was over the members went to change for the next segment of the show... that is everyone except for Changsun. Changsun was SODAs dedicated MC, and played a short quiz game with SODA. A few lucky SODA would win a signed album and an unreleased Changsun PC if they answered the question correctly on the count of three.
When the remaining members were ready, Taehoon and Jiseong took the stage to perform "Tarzan." The members would later explain they got their choreography moves from watching the movie to see how TARZAN fights fought and how he would move around. After the performance of "Tarzan," Jooan, Jaejun, and Sunghyuk hit the stage with a captivting performance of "Jekyll&Hyde." After the unit stages, the nigh was drawing to an end, but the energy still continue to fill the venue! TAN and SODA alike would end the night on a high note as they filled the venue with deafening cheers, and filled the aisles with dancing and jumping around with TAN as they performed their final encore stage of the night, "New Days."
As the night truly came to an end, some SODA would keep their energy, as they ended their night with a fan sign, high five session, group photo, solo group photo session, and SODA PIX before having to say "good-bye" to the members of TAN. During these sessions, the members were able to show their sparkling personalities, and undeniable gratitude to all SODA they were able to interact with.
