Irene has wrapped up the Seoul performance, which marked the beginning of her first solo concert tour. She filled the approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes of the show, presenting everything from solo performances to a medley of Red Velvet's hit songs.

The '2026 IRENE ASIA TOUR [ I-WILL ] IN Seoul' was held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 23rd and 24th. The final day's performance was simultaneously live-streamed on the global platforms Beyond LIVE and Weverse.

The concert title, 'I-WILL,' is a combination of 'I,' representing 'me' and 'Irene,' and 'WILL,' signifying determination. The performance was structured to focus on the narrative of Irene's solo activities and her inner transformation. The stage production heightened immersion by utilizing a 36-meter-wide LED screen and an 8-meter-diameter floor LED surrounding a circular protruding stage.

Irene kicked off the show on a crescent-shaped set with her solo debut song, 'Like A Flower.' She then performed 'Best Believe,' 'My Timeless Video,' 'Face To Face,' 'Black Halo,' 'Spit It Out,' and 'Don't Wanna Get Up.' The choreography for some of the stages was newly arranged specifically for this concert.

Irene also performed Raiden's "The Only," her first featured collaboration since her debut, and "White Night," the OST from the movie *Double Patty*. For the encore, she continued with a medley of Red Velvet's hit songs, including "Attaboy," "Red Dress," "Rookie," and "Russian Roulette."

The audience responded with slogans and card section events. Phrases such as "Shout 'I love you' louder, Bae Joohyun" and "Irene's Eternal Biggest Fan" filled the venue, and the audience chanted along with chants like "Loudly, bravely, and spiritedly, Wooyongsik" and "Joohyun, I love you." Irene walked around the audience and sang "Winter Wish."

At the end of the performance, Irene said, "I was very worried as the concert approached, but I was able to do it thanks to all of you. Just having you by my side gives me strength. I will also become an Irene who is always by your side." Afterwards, she wrapped up the concert by singing 'Start Line' together with the fans.

Irene will continue her tour at the Taipei [NTU Sports Center] on June 6 and 7.
