On an otherwise quiet Monday night, the North Shore Center for Performing Arts in Skokie, Illinois was alive with chants of ‘TRI.BE Vi Da Loca’.
K-pop girl group TRI.BE (pronounced try-bee), are in the middle of their first US tour. Their fans, affectionately referred to by the group as ‘True’, showed their support by yelling the groups’ slogan ‘TRI.BE Vi Da Loca’ during each of their songs. The
phrase combines the latin words ‘la vida loca’ and the group name, ‘TRI.BE’, to mean ‘passionate life’.
TRI.BE’s passion for their fans translates throughout the whole show, starting with the group performing an English version of their song ‘Wonderland’. The members shared they performed this version specifically as a gift for American True’s to celebrate their first US Tour.
The group took turns showing off their vocal skills, by singing their favorite parts of the upcoming songs, acapella, as teasers to hype up the crowd. ‘Got Your Back’ was a unit stage that included members Songsun, Kelly, and Jia. It featured a fun call and response with the audience and was produced by Songsun. ‘-18’ showcased the performance abilities of members Hyunbin, Soeun, and Mire. They ended this set of the concert with the whole group back together as they performed a dance cover medley of a few other high profile kpop groups such as Ateez, Seventeen, and Enhypen.
The show featured a fun segment called ‘Ask TRI.BE’ where the fans submitted questions prior to the concertand the members would take turns picking which ones to answer.
This portion of the show really showed
how much the group enjoys interacting with their fans. They listened to requests shouted out from the audience on which specific questions to answer and even prepared special, spontaneous performances of songs not on their setlist in response to fan’s questions.
Hilarity ensued as a bug flew around the stage causing commotion amongst the girls, while ultimately creating the perfect segway into their next songs. Soeun was hit by the bug on her cheek and exclaimed “Oh! It kissed me!” which resulted in the other members' laughter, as their next set consisted of songs ‘In The Air’ and ‘Kiss’.
The girls shared again just how thankful and happy they were to be on their first US Tour. They announced their love for ‘True’ and hoped all their fans would remember today as a special day, just like they would. They finished with the song ‘We Are Young’, dedicated to all their fans, before exiting the stage.
Not long after, member’s voices could be heard over the loudspeakers, asking all fans to remain seated for safety purposes as they were going to come out into the crowd for their last number ‘Stay Together’. The girls took their time throughout the song, going up to every fan to wave, take photos and even sit down next to them. They finished the .concert with a plethora of group photos with the audience.
