📰📸 KAvenyou: Bang Yongguk brought his « III Europe Tour » to Paris–like his 3rd EP, it also marked his third solo concert in the French capital. A/N: posted on 241102

October, 16th, Bang Yongguk brought his « III Europe Tour » to Paris.

III. Like « 3 », the artist’s 3rd EP. It also marks his 3rd solo concert in the french capital. The title of both the EP and tour may seem almost simple at first. But it is straightforward and honest, quite to Yongguk’s image.  

Holding a concert on a weekday can be quite a challenge, as fans may be busy with school and / or work. However, a Bang Yongguk concert his someting his fans wouldn’t miss for sure. So they gathered at Cabaret Sauvage, a venue designed to remind us of a circus.

At first, a DJ, hypes the audience up by playing current international hit songs. He’ll also accompany the whole set of Bang Yongguk, regularly engaging with Yongguk’s fans as well.

When Yongguk appears on the stage, he’s sporting an all-white outfit and curly hair. The artist is all smiles and appears confident under the (mostly) red and blue spotlights.

When he sings « I remember » – both as a part of the main track list and as the encore song – we can feel the whole audience’s special affection for the song that has allowed many to discover Bang Yongguk. However it’s not the only song that’s so obviously a fans’ favorite. Songs like « Xie Xie » or  YAMAZAKI» have the audience screeming the lyrics right back at Yongguk. « BUSS IT DOWN» « IXLU » or « MOVIMIENTO» have fans dancing on the spot.

The songs « Up » or «BAD» have Yongguk acting more playful on stage. And when a song includes the lyrics « I Love You », he points at the crowd with his warm smile. Fans quickly follow his lead and also make sure to deliver the sentence at him.

During his ments, Yongguk makes sure to clearly let this love be felt. He mentions how he had a busy year and refers to his group activities under the nameBANG&JUNG&YOO&MOON. Of course, the fans already know about it and were over the moon when Yongguk said he hopes to come back with the group. When he sang the chorus of «ONE SHOT», a few whistles, previously silent, could be heard among the crowd. If needed, they prove that  Babyz are always ready to show support to the group as well.

A loyalty that Yongguk seems genuinely thankful for. He used english to thank fans from being by his side since a long time ago, and singing along with him ever since then. He adds « Thank you for being a part of my youth. I love you and respect you all ». A sentence all the more touching that it’s usually fans who’ll thank an artist for being a part of their youth.

As KAvenyou had the opportunity to cover all Yongguk’s solo concert in Paris thanks to Root Company and YY Entertainment, each concert feels like witnessing a new growth of Yongguk as an artist. Each time, he feels more confident and more at ease on stage. Leaving the venue, we’re confident Yongguk will get to sing in front of his fans for a very long time still.

exclusive interview: BANG YONGGUK shares moments from 'III' US TOUR 2024, challenges, future plans and more.

Q: Congratulations on completing your ‘III’ The US TOUR 2024! How did you feel to successfully wrapped up a full month of concert?

I want to say thank you so much to the fans who gave me so much inspiration and love. Without them, I couldn't carry out the schedule. It felt like we performed together in every performance.

Q: What was it like during the tour? Any moments that you want to share with fans?

I sang all the songs on my new album live. It was just released, and it was really special that so many people sang it together. These were moments where I felt deeply in my heart how much they loved me and my music.

Q: You’ve been to Europe, Asia, America, almost all over the world. Did you perform differently each time or did you try to convey the same experience?

Usually, I make one chapter of setlist for a tour. I think I naturally take the ending and encore songs according to the atmosphere of each city or country. After a year-long tour, we prepare a new set list from the next year. That's why I think I put a lot of time and thought into making a set list for the tour.

Q: Can you describe the atmosphere and vibe of your tour that will make people want to attend again and again?

It's hard to fill up the entire 2 hours by myself. I think it's a special moment that the fans fill the empty space on the stage together. I'm not a good speaker, so I'm going to sing at least one more song live rather than a comment. I feel like I'm performing together with the fans. I think that creates an atmosphere where my performances become special.

Q: Performing every other day must have been challenging for you. How do you keep your energy and voice healthy throughout the tour?

It's not easy. This time, there were performances that I was not in good condition, and there were moments when I blamed myself. I refrain from going out as much as possible and stay inside the hotel only before the performance. I only take a light walk when I go outside. It's important to save energy and prevent other illnesses. Sometimes, my manager comes to check if I'm alive, and I think it's the only time I've met someone. Unfortunately, that's how I keep myself in good shape and protect myself throughout the tour. (laughs)

Q: What should we look forward to from your next plan?

I'm preparing for a new project in summer, and I've been planning it slowly since the U.S. The moment I came back to Korea after the tour, I haven't had a day off yet.

Q: In the future, when people look back at Bang Yongguk and the music you’ve made, is there a certain way you would like it to be seen or remembered?

I like to hear that Bang Yongguk's music is like Bang Yongguk. If people remember me as an artist who has his own style, regardless of the chart rankings and album sales, I think my career has succeeded just by hearing that. That's why I make music.

Q: To all your fans and listeners who wants to know and learn more about Bang Yongguk, what is the best way for them to do so?

I hope you listen to my first full-length album, "BANGYONGGUK." I think you'll know more about me. And I don't think I'll be able to make an album like that in the future. (laughs)

Listen to Bang Yongguk's "BANGYONGGUK" here!

Q: Thank you so much for spending some time with MY K-POP WIRE! Any last words to your fans?

I would like to express my love and respect to the fans who always give us a lot of love. Please continue to show your interest and support for that way I will show as an artist,  Bang Yongguk. I will be back. Thank you.

As part of my portfolio, I’m remaking the posters of the concerts I’m going to in March and May, to give them a decorative and artsy look.

I was planning on uploading them once I was done with all 3 of them, but with Yongguk releasing his short film today, I changed my mind.

I am really lucky!

For the longest time I believed I had a really bad luck, but then my life suddenly turned upside down, I moved overseas, had the chance to see B.A.P live thanks to my wonderful friends I'm lucky to have, and now Yongguk is coming to Madrid and I actually have the money to see him!

This might sound childish to many people; "why would you say you're lucky just because of a stupid concert?" For me it's not just that... I stanned Yongguk for so many years I can barely count them now, and he was never /just/ an idol to me, he was the one who saved me, who taught me, who made me see everything differently... It feels like he's that soulmate that I'm not meant to be with physically but am still affected 100% by him, I can't even explain how I feel about him. Many of my friends think that I'm in love with him, or at least his public image... no, it's true that I love him, but it's way more than just that! I owe him my life, and he's literally the most important figure in my life after my parents. I respect and support him, and I look up to him. Everything in my existence, and I mean EVERYTHING, is related to him.

So yes, after supporting B.A.P for years I finally saw them in 2018, and after supporting Yongguk for even more years I'm going to see him in 2019, my biggest dreams are coming true, and I can't be happier or luckier than this. I am truly grateful 🙏

They should hire me fulltime to take photos of this man. Cannot see any reason why they wouldn't want that
