What an incredible night it was on July 14 in the vibrant city of Atlanta! The electrifying presence of ABNEW -- AB6IX's official fandom -- set the city aglow with excitement as they eagerly awaited the start of AB6IX's 2024 "AB6IX FAN CONCERT 'Find YOU'" concert.
AB6IX is a playful and creative four-member group consisting of the talented Woong, Donghyun, Woojin, and Daehwi. They made their debut on May 22, 2019 with the EP 'B : COMPLETE,' featuring the lead single and fan-favorite track, "BREATHE." With each member bringing their unique musical backgrounds, The creativity of AB6IX continues to shine brightly both on stage and off-stage, captivating fans worldwide!
The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as the members of AB6IX took to the stage for sound check, ready to dazzle their devoted fans with a night filled with an undeniable sense of "love and excitement," as described by AB6IX's Donghyun himself in an interview before the show began. The members also expressed their admiration for each other as we talked about their first impressions of each other where they highlighted the other's characteristic that drew them closer together:
Donghyun: Woojin was very playful and like a cousin that doesn't really listen to you.
Woojin: Woong was full of smiles and just kind of young in a naive sense.
Woong: Since Daehwi was so young, and came from the U.S., I wondered how a kid this young could achieve so much.
Daehwi: When I first saw Donghyun, he was very tall and handsome, and I had never seen this type of trainee. So, Donghyun was like a new type of person that I had encountered.
Following the fan engagement activities, AB6IX was ready to showcase their unmatched versatility, mesmerizing dance moves, and Woojin's ever-evolving rap prowess as they owned the spotlight with "TRAVELER" and "GRAB ME." The venue's energy could be felt as ABNEW waved their lightsticks, cheered members on for their impressive skills, and sang along with each stage. Following these electrifying stages, it was time for group and individual introductions, Woong sparked curiosity by asking ABNEW if they knew the title of this tour -- to which ABNEW shouted, "Find YOU," in unison. Daehwi and Woojin continued, "That's right. Find YOU is the present tense of finding you, and to express our intentions of meeting ABNEW. Wherever you are, we'll run to you." After ensuring ABNEW were ready, it was time for "The Answer," revealing a fun and more playful side of AB6IX!
Next was time for a short intermission filled with stage games from the members. The first game was "Relay Acting it Out," where members would have to silently act out the given word in a relay manner, and the final member would have to provide the correct answer. AB6IX played a quick game of rock, paper, scissors to determine the order where Woojin would be given the word, Daehwi and Donghyun would be the middle guessers, and Woong would have to provide the correct answer. The group showed their love for sports as they creatively acted out the given words -- with a little added help from ABNEW to answer Volleyball -- where Woong was sure to show off his volleyball spike. Next was a game of "Animal Sound 3, 6, 9 Game," where the members would make their own unique animal sound -- chosen by ABNEW -- when the numbers 3, 6, or 9 appeared in any number. After successfully completing this game, it was time for the AB6IX to pick up the venue's energy once again.
Fans erupted with excitement as the venue overflowed with energy during AB6IX's electrifying performance of "Complicated," igniting the stage with their dynamic rendition of "BLAZE." The red stage lighting, waving lightsticks, and thunderous fan chants created a pulsating atmosphere that resonated with the crowd, who couldn't help but join in the exhilarating chorus. Transitioning effortlessly into a more laid-back street-style look, AB6IX returned with a vengeance, infusing the night with raw power through their explosive performance of "WHISTLE," showcasing their impeccable choreography to infectious hip hop beats. The audience went wild as the group delivered the fan-favorite "RED UP," once again bathed in a sea of crimson lights, leaving everyone in awe of their unmatched stage presence.
It was finally the moment to connect with ABNEW through an electrifying stage talk! Daehwi enthusiastically asked the members about their desires upon arrival, sparking Donghyun's curiosity about the ferris wheel. However, some ABNEW quickly discouraged the idea and proposed visiting Coca-Cola or the aquarium instead. Promising to explore these options next time, Daehwi's words ignited cheers and bubbling excitement for AB6IX's return to Atlanta! With that energy, they smoothly transitioned to the powerful stage of "SAVIOR," before slowing things down with the heartfelt "ILY (I LOVE YOU)," causing ABNEW to sway alongside the members.
Sadly, it was time to wrap up the night, but AB6IX was sure to keep the energy up with an electrifying infusion of fan-favorite performances! From the playful vibes of "Merry-Go-Round," the powerful beats of "CHANCE," to the emotional climax of "Shining Stars," the crowd lit up the venue with stars, flashlights, and heartfelt voices, creating a truly unforgettable moment of unity and emotion!
