The group POW shared an emotional connection with their fans during the 'POWERFUL YOUTH' tour in Japan and Thailand, shedding tears of joy.
On the afternoon of the 25th, POW (comprising members Yochi, Hyunbin, Jeongbin, Dongyeon, and Hong) released a behind-the-scenes video titled 'POW NOW-2025 POW TOUR: POWERFUL YOUTH in YOKOHAMA, BANGKOK' on their official social media channels, capturing the electrifying atmosphere and emotional moments of their concerts.
The video kicks off with their schedule in Yokohama, Japan, on October 22. Upon arrival, POW expressed a mix of nerves and excitement for the 'POWERFUL YOUTH in YOKOHAMA' concert the following day. Dongyeon mentioned, "The concert is divided into two parts, so managing our stamina is crucial. We've prepared different cover songs for each show," showing their dedication to delivering a high-quality performance. Jeongbin, after completing rehearsals, shared his anticipation, saying, "The stage is close to the audience, allowing us to communicate more deeply with our Japanese fans."
The Japanese concert concluded successfully amidst the fervor of the audience, with Hong expressing gratitude, "Thanks to the fans' support, we were able to finish well."
POW then headed to Bangkok, Thailand, for the 'POWERFUL YOUTH in BANGKOK' performance. The members' excitement was palpable during rehearsals and preparations. Dongyeon remarked, "Having Yochi with us makes the Thailand concert even more reassuring," while Jeongbin conveyed his excitement, "I'm thrilled to see so many fans here."
In Thailand, the members' heartfelt emotions were on full display. Yochi, performing his first solo concert in his home country, tearfully thanked the fans, saying, "Before becoming part of POW, I never thought I'd be on stage again. I'm grateful to the fans for allowing me to pursue a dream I almost gave up on." Yochi had previously been part of Trainee A under Big Hit Music but left after the group's debut plans fell through.
Hong shared his emotional experience, "It was a stage created with our fans," while Hyunbin promised, "I'll show an even better side of myself in return for your support." Dongyeon expressed his gratitude, "Thanks to you, I'm achieving my dreams one by one," and Jeongbin reflected, "It was our first concert in Thailand since 'Rabbit to the Moon 2025,' and I was overwhelmed by the fans who waited so long."
As the tour concluded, Jeongbin remarked, "Thanks to the love from Japan, Thailand, and Korea, this tour was unforgettable," and Dongyeon shared his aspirations, "I want to meet more fans on bigger stages."
Through their global tour 'POWERFUL YOUTH,' centered around the theme of 'youth,' POW is expanding their international fanbase and solidifying their position as 'growth-oriented all-rounder' artists. Having recently wrapped up their single 'Wall Flowers' activities, POW is preparing for their next comeback, continuing their journey with new music and endeavors.
