The group Aespa showcased an upgraded version of 'Metal Taste' during their second world tour encore performance.
Aespa (Karina, Winter, Giselle, Ningning) held their second world tour encore concert 'SYNK: PARALLEL LINE-ENCORE' on the 16th at 7 PM at the KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Bangi-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul.
Dressed in black outfits with gold accents, Aespa opened the encore performance with 'DRAMA'. The members then heated up the atmosphere with powerful performances of 'Black Mamba', 'Salty & Sweet', and 'I Energy'.
Changing the mood with white outfits, the members continued with 'Mine', 'Die Trying', and 'Flowers', adding to the excitement. Utilizing jungle gym-like props, they presented a performance that exuded femininity compared to previous songs.
Holding the microphone, Karina welcomed the audience, saying, "Welcome to the encore performance. Today is the last of our tour. I am happy to be able to start and end in Korea, in Seoul," and added, "I hope you have a fun day with us today."
After individual greetings from the members, Karina asked Giselle and Ningning to greet the audience in English, Chinese, and Japanese. She then said, "Next concert, Winter and I will greet you in foreign languages. You know I am fluent in foreign languages, right? This member, remember to join us for the next concert," which received a huge cheer.
The members showcased solo stages highlighting their individual charms with performances of 'Lucid Dream', 'Flights, Not Feelings', and 'Better Things'.
Giselle revealed her sexy charm with 'Dopamine', while Karina showcased her power with 'Up'. Ningning displayed a dreamy tone with 'Bored!', and Winter impressed with her refreshing high notes in 'Spark'.
After performing 'Supernova' and 'Pink Hoodie', Ningning sat down on the floor and said, "Are you having fun? It's so hard every time 'Pink Hoodie' ends." In response, Karina teased, "Didn’t I say today is the last performance? We have one last segment where we can play together."
Before starting the next song, the members introduced the guests who attended the concert. As the camera captured singers G-Dragon, Lee Jeok, Gummy, Younha, TWICE's Jihyo, broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk, and actors Lee Dong-hwi, Kim Ji-won, and Gal So-won cheering for Aespa in the audience, the excitement in the venue intensified.
Aespa sang 'Live My Life' and 'YEPPI YEPPI' while moving around the concert hall. The sight of the members making eye contact and high-fiving fans sparked cheers from the audience.
Additionally, the concert featured Aespa's mega hits 'Whiplash', 'Next Level', and 'Armageddon', as well as English songs like 'Hold On Tight' and 'Life’s Too Short'.
At the end of the performance, Aespa members expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you for joining us for the encore concert. We were happy to create precious memories. Please wait well until we meet again, reminiscing about this day. We will meet again without being late."
Meanwhile, Aespa completed their second world tour, which started in June last year at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul, covering 28 cities across Asia, North America, and Europe, including Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Jakarta, Macau, Sydney, Melbourne, Seattle, Los Angeles, Mexico City, London, Paris, and Madrid, with a total of 41 performances.
