TREASURE, ‘REBOOT’, a passionate passion that melted even the cold wave

Group Treasure warmed up fans around the world with 'REBOOT'. The passion of those who ran for 170 minutes like an engine that could not be turned off in a concert hall that could accommodate about 30,000 people burned hotly, melting even the bitter cold.

TREASURE successfully completed the '2023 TREASURE CONCERT [REBOOT] IN SEOUL' held at KSPO DOME, Olympic Park, Bangi-dong, Seoul for three days on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. TREASURE contained the tour's experience so far, from the 23-song set list to the non-stop encore.

# TREASURE live performance explosion... 170 minutes of peak performance at every moment

Treasure, who opened the concert with 'BONA BONA', instantly raised the atmosphere of the scene with 'JIKJIN', 'BOY', and 'HELLO', which were filled with sharp group dance and intensity. The following performances of songs from their 2nd full-length album were unveiled for the first time, and their ability to digest a variety of genres could be felt at a glance.

The high-quality performance production supported Treasure’s energy. From a design that resembles a restart button, devices such as colorful lights, lasers, LEDs, and pillars of fire were deployed without hesitation to increase immersion, and the powerful performance of the band session added to this created synergy. The VCR sometimes reminded me of a grand movie or a witty drama.

# From charisma to hip-hop and emotional ballads... Completion of a wide range of unit stages

The special unit stage brought excitement and emotion to the audience. T5's 'MOVE', which stands out for its charisma, and Asahi and Haruto's 'THANK YOU', which exudes free rock sensibility, captured the eyes and ears of fans.

Rapper line Choi Hyun-seok, Yoshi, and Haruto showed off the essence of hip-hop swag. Tension exploded with 'GOAT (feat. Lee Young-hyun)', a variation of Choi Hyun-seok's krump solo dance, and 'VolKno', which was like the heat of a volcano. Jihoon, Junkyu, and Park Jeongwoo finished their unit performance with ‘Adult (THE WAY TO)’.

# "The reason for our existence"... The end of 2023 decorated with Treasure Maker

The driving force behind Treasure is definitely Treasure Maker (fandom name). The members, who constantly made eye contact with fans on the protruding stage and lift, moved around on a portable stage and interacted more closely by heading directly to the audience. This was a moment born from the ideas of members who participated from the planning stage of the concert.

In response, the fans also embellished the concert hall with passionate singing and shouting, and bright blue waves of lights (light sticks), doubling the emotion. Treasure sincerely said, "You are the reason we exist. We will always be by our fans' side, so let's continue to create happy memories."

Meanwhile, about 150 people were invited to Treasure's performance through the Korea Federation of the Blind, pediatric cancer NGO Hanbit, and Save the Children. Considering the accessibility and convenience of the performance for not only disabled audiences but also all audiences visiting the performance, a video to guide the accessibility of the 2023 Treasure Concert performance recorded by Doyoung and Park Jeong-woo was provided, and a 'YOUR GREEN STEP' booth that measures audience carbon footprints was operated and continued. YG's efforts to make the performance possible were put into practice.
