The group Forestella has successfully completed its first full concert in two years.
Forestella (Bae Doo-hoon, Kang Hyung-ho, Jo Min-kyu, Go Woo-rim) held the first performance of their 2025 nationwide tour solo concert 'THE WAVE' at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 26th and 27th.
‘THE WAVE’ is the first full concert presented by Forestella in two years, coinciding with Go Woo-rim's military discharge. Forestella once again proved its reputation as a 'crossover idol' with its undeniable live performance, solid synergy, and well-made show enhanced by dance. The performance was further enriched by the stunning acts of The Page Dance Team and the LJ Team, as well as VCRs utilizing XR technology supported by the Korea Creative Content Agency, providing a wealth of visual entertainment.
On this day, Forestella opened the concert with 'White Night' and 'The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun.' The mystical and enchanting harmony of Forestella continued with performances of 'Angel,' 'Scarborough Fair,' 'Son of the Moon,' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' offering a fantastic time that cleansed the eyes and ears.
The unique song selection and stage also announced the splendid return of Forestella as a 'performance powerhouse.' Forestella premiered the live stage of their recently released new song 'Everything,' filling the venue with a romantic atmosphere. The song 'HandClap,' which was introduced for the first time during this concert, amplified the exciting energy with Forestella's captivating performance, drawing applause and cheers simultaneously.
The second part, which began as a production show utilizing sound elements, flowed into a more intense and dynamic mood. Forestella started with 'UTOPIA,' followed by their original song 'Snow Globe,' and the recently popular 'Abracadabra,' which was showcased on KBS2's 'Immortal Songs,' generating explosive responses.
The reinterpreted classics such as 'Piano Man,' 'Bad Romance,' 'Shape of You,' and 'Despacito' delivered an unforgettable auditory experience in Forestella's unique style. For the encore, the members' overflowing emotions shone through in 'Champions' and 'And Spring,' leaving a deep resonance.
Meanwhile, Forestella's nationwide tour solo concert 'THE WAVE' will continue on August 9 and 10 at BEXCO in Busan, and on the 23rd and 24th at EXCO in Daegu.
