SEOUL — The 2025 SUHO CONCERT ENCORE, held on January 25- January 26 at the Handball Stadium in Seoul Olympic Park, delivered an unforgettable experience. With a dynamic setlist, live band performances, and touching fan interactions, Suho proved why he remains the ultimate artist and leader of EXO.
Building on his solo tour SU:HOME, which covered ten cities across Asia last year, Suho surprised fans with the debut performance of his self-composed track “Rock’n Run.” He also showcased heartfelt renditions of “Curtain,” “Morning Star,” and “1 to 3,” accompanied by his impressive guitar skills. Tracks like “Decanting,” “Wishful Thinking,” and “Mayday” highlighted Suho’s emotional depth and mature artistry.
The concert featured diverse stages, including a medley of EXO’s iconic hits such as “Love Shot,” “Growl,” “Overdose,” and “Monster.” Fans were further treated to a nostalgic OST medley of tracks from Suho’s dramas, including “Starlight”, “Love You More Gradually,” and “SEDANSOGU.” Collaborative performances added even more excitement, with Chanyeol delivering a fresh rap verse in “Alright Alright” and Red Velvet’s Wendy joining Suho for a breathtaking duet of “Cheese.”
Visually, the show was a spectacle. A massive see-through LED screen and a three-tiered stage shaped like a house brought Suho’s artistic vision to life. Emotional performances like “Curtain” and “Starry Night” captivated fans as the stage lighting and setup drew attention solely to Suho’s voice. Exclusive VCR clips also gave fans behind-the-scenes glimpses of Suho’s encore preparations and reflections on his tour.
Fans dressed in carrot-inspired outfits—an ode to Suho’s bunny nickname—filled the stadium with their passionate energy. They held banners with touching messages such as “This Shining Moment Belongs to Suho” and “Even Among Nameless Stars, We’ll Always Have Suho.” The crowd’s chants during “Moonlight” and “O2” were met with Suho’s heartfelt response as he moved through the audience, gifting Polaroid photos and connecting closely with his fans.
Ending the concert on an emotional note, Suho tearfully expressed, “EXO-L gives me strength. As long as I have you, my beloved EXO-L, I’ll keep singing for a lifetime. My biggest goal is to keep performing sincerely and creating happy memories with you all. Please look forward to my new music this year.”
The second day of the concert, live-streamed via Beyond LIVE and Weverse, attracted fans from 35 countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany, Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
Suho’s encore concert was not just a celebration of his artistry but also a heartfelt promise to fans. With plans for new music this year, Suho continues to shine brightly as the “guardian” of EXO-Ls everywhere.
