The K-pop group TEMPEST, under Yue Hua Entertainment, who debuted in 2022, has successfully concluded their comeback fan showcase.
On the 27th, TEMPEST held a fan showcase at Ilji Art Hall in Gangnam, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their seventh mini-album 'As I am'.
Opening the performance with the track 'nocturnal' from their mini 7th album, TEMPEST appeared on stage with more excitement than ever. The members introduced their new album, saying, "We have captured the worries and anxieties we felt, and how we overcame and moved forward through this process. We worked hard on this album, so please listen to it a lot."
TEMPEST enriched the stage with their graceful performance, emotional expressions, and soft gazes during the title track 'In The Dark'. The choreography, which complements the matured visuals and poignant mood of the song, maximized TEMPEST's unique sensibility, adding to the visual enjoyment.
Additionally, TEMPEST spent time directly interacting with fans through various programs. In the first segment, 'CHILL GUY, TEMPEST', they explored the members' personalities and traits through a Chill guy test, creating a harmonious atmosphere. In the 'How deep is your love?' segment, they enjoyed drawing quizzes, balance games, and performance challenges with fans.
TEMPEST concluded the showcase with the track 'CHILL', co-written by members LEW and Hyuk. They expressed their aspirations and gratitude, saying, "We are doing our best to prepare for an upgraded performance at our solo concert on November 29th and 30th," and "We feel good about our preparations. Thank you for always supporting us, and we will become TEMPEST who can repay the love and courage we received from iE."
'As I am' is TEMPEST's new release after about seven months, conveying a message of belief in oneself and comfort to everyone. Through this album, TEMPEST has captured an honest record of focusing on the process rather than being confined to the results set by the world, and finding the true 'me'. Having successfully wrapped up their fan showcase, TEMPEST is set to embark on their comeback activities with 'In The Dark'.
