Phil Kim successfully completed the '2023 Phil Kim Concert LIFE' held at the Blue Square Mastercard Hall on the 18th and 19th. As this was the first solo concert held in about two years, all tickets were sold out amid enthusiastic response from fans.
On this day, Feel Kim opened with ‘Youth’, ‘Here We Are’, ‘That Child At That Time’, and ‘A Place to Lean On’. ‘Like the first time we met’, ‘Voice’, ‘LOVE YOU!’ They received an explosive response by performing not only many hit songs such as 'Words on the Eyes' and 'BLACK', which had not been performed often on broadcasts.
In particular, the spectacular concert stage structure also increased the audience's immersion. The stage, reminiscent of a giant flash, symbolized the moment when light was cast, maximizing the emotion with the intention of making it the brightest day for the audience, artists, and staff.
At this concert, all songs from the recently released third mini album 'LIFE' could be heard live, attracting even more attention to fans. From the title song 'LIFE' to 'You', 'Illusion', 'mumble', and 'Salvation', they showed off their diverse charms by crossing musical boundaries. The band's sound, which included brass and strings, along with Phil Kim's unrivaled vocals, created a perfect live stage.
In addition, during the serious songs, the audience held their breath and concentrated, while during the bright songs, they enjoyed and responded to Kim Feel's rhythmical stage manners. Even after finishing the stage, Phil Kim even performed an encore with 'I Need (True Love)' and 'Excuse' at the request of fans, completing a rich and colorful performance.
Feel Kim completely captivated the audience with his diverse vocal charms, ranging from the sweet and gentle atmosphere of an 'emotional master' to intense and vibrant energy. Thanks to the positive reviews from fans, Phil Kim plans to continue his 'hard work' by holding an encore concert in January next year, raising even more expectations.
