After two years, HeeJin, Haseul, Jinsoul, Kim Lip, and Choerry reunited as ARTMS on stage with their dedicated New York audience at Kings Theater, in Brooklyn. NY. This show kicked off their “2024 ARTMS World Tour Moonshot” Tour in the USA.
Anticipation Like No Other
Over an hour before the show’s start time of 7:30, fans were lined up in an organized fashion next to the venue, wrapping around the corner as they waited to see their favorite performers. Upon the doors opening, the theater was filled with excited concert-goers holding their ARTMS official lightsticks and waving signs showing their support.
A Theatrical Beginning
The lights dimmed, and the music was queued. Immediately, the packed theater roared with excitement, surprising many staff members and casual watchers in the venue with their volume. ARTMS began the show with “Birth,” a dramatic and exciting track to set the mood within the theater. The group wasted no time to show off their all-rounded skills. Members were getting on the floor during dances, and displaying stable live vocals. Afterward, they performed “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” before introducing themselves to the crowd formally, expressing their excitement and gratitude to be performing in the heart of NYC.
A Show Like a Party
With solo stages from members HaSeul and HeeJin, special unit stages from ODD EYE CIRCLE, and even a cover of Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer,” the energy was constantly at an all-time high throughout the show. The fans sang along to each song and knew every lyric. When encountering a sound issue during the Taylor Swift cover, the members continued to perform, laughing off the malfunction. They went on to restart the song to give their fans a full-quality performance.
Giving the audience what they want
After performing their recent tracks, ARTMS made sure to make their long-time fans’ hearts warm by playing older anthems like “Je Na Sais Quoi,” and “Air Force One.” But that’s not all! The girls went even further back, performing nostalgic tunes from their former group LOONA’s discography – “Stylish,” “Satellite,” and “Hi High.” These tracks filled the venue with cheers and even tears, as many audience members missed the original lineup dearly.
Gone, But Not Goodbye
As the show came to a close, the group promised to return to New York City, making their goodbye bittersweet. The members expressed their love and appreciation for their fans numerous times throughout the concert. Furthermore, they also love New York – for a quick photo-op, they posed like the statue of liberty onstage before saying goodbye.
