After being part of KCON New York 2017 Lineup, Up10tion was back in New York this year and this time gifting HONEY10 (the fans fandom name) with a tour of their own. Thanks to Studio Pav, they were able to create this event and bring Up10tion and international HONEY10 together. Up10tion is a 10 member group that debuted in September of 2015 under T.O.P Media. The group of consists of members Wooshin, Sunyoul, JinHoo, Kuhn, Kogyeol, Wei, Bit-to, Gyujin, Hwanhee, and Xiao.
It has been a little over a week since the Up10tion US Meet & Live Tour, the sixth stop in Jersey City, NJ. The excitement and anticipation of the fans was felt all over social media networks since the day the tour was announced up until the concert, now the fans are feeling the PCD (Post Concert Depression) and reminiscing through their photos, videos, and experiences and sharing them with their friends and mutual friends.
HypnoticAsia had the opportunity to witness Up10tion’s quality performance and the non-stop energetic show. While performing their hit songs and fan favorites like “Dangerous,” “Runner,” “White Night,” and from their most recent promotions, “Candyland.” White Eagle Hall was filled with the fans’ bursting emotions when singing along with the group and many lead overwhelming fan-chants to hit songs. There were even moments where a few HONEY10’s found space to breakout into the songs choreography in unison with Up10tion! The stage lights might have been shining on Up10tion, but their passion and hard work is what made them shine throughout their stages. The proof was a video that was shared with the fans during the concert while Up10tion got ready for their next song. The members showed how much they practiced and worked on their choreography and vocals. They had also expressed how worried, nervous, and excited they were to be touring in the U.S., but in the and all those worries were left behind once they saw how much love and support they were receiving from international fans.
One of the greatest parts of the Up10tion US Meet & Live Tour was that the show presented wasn’t just a concert, but also a fan meet. Huge score! Studio PAV offered different ways to get up close and personal with the group before and after the show, with options of purchasing VVIP, VIP, or general admission. In between segments of their performances, there were many intimate moments during the show, one is where Up10tion answered questions from fans who wrote down their questions before the show and the crowd even had the chance to play a fun game of charades with the group. Even though they didn’t have a translator and English is not their first language, they did a wonderful job communicating and interacting with HONEY10, which made the show more intimate. Up10tion mentioned how thankful they are and how much they appreciate the love and support they received from their fans.
We thank Studio Pav for giving us the chance to live this fun experience and to witness Up10tion’s wonderful performances and fan service.
