From Jungkook’s “Seven” To New Genes’ “Habit Boy”..Gummy, The Epitome Of A Reliable Concert

Singer Gummy shared memories and romance with her loved ones through her nationwide tour concert “LOVE” during the hot end of the year.
Gummy opened the first round of her nationwide tour “Gummy Tour Concert 2023 <LOVE>” held at the Grand Theater of Gwangju Arts Center for two days from November 18 to 19. Gummy received explosive reactions from the audience from the first concert of the tour, and she gave the audience a hot and touching performance that is worthy of being a representative player of the year-end tour.

Gummy decorated the opening with “Love Recipe” in a lovely way, and said, “I am happy to announce the start of the year-end tour in Gwangju, which is like my hometown,” and greeted the audience in the Gwangju dialect, “I am very grateful.” She continued, “Although my representative songs are breakup songs, I named this year’s tour <LOVE>. As I get older, I have more songs about life than breakup, and I wanted to express the many kinds of love in the world.”

Gummy’s concert was the essence of a high-quality live performance that proved his qualifications as a premium vocalist for over three hours. It was a stage where Gummy’s irreplaceable musicality could be felt, including not only representative ballads but also R&B, jazz, and hip-hop, with a composition that highlighted Gummy’s colorful tones and musicality.

The songs encompass Gummy’s 20 years of music, and under the theme of ‘LOVE’, a variety of songs are included, including sad unrequited love, feelings of loneliness even when together, the sad and sorrowful ordeal of separation, the warm heart felt from friends and family, and the cry to love oneself. She showed off the abilities of a ‘vocal queen’ in this genre.

As a year-end concert, special stages also attracted attention. Gummy showed off the charm of the legendary Gummy by reinterpreting Blackpink Jisoo’s ‘Flower’, New Jeans’ ‘Hype Boy’, and BTS Jungkook’s ‘Seven’ all live with the band. Although the singer is celebrating his 20th anniversary, it was a performance that raised expectations for the music he would perform in the future more than the music he had shown so far.

The response from the concert audience was also enthusiastic. Gummy communicated with the audience by reading stories they had received in advance. Three sons, from 6th grade to high school, came with their parents and received a positive response by choosing Gummy as their favorite artist instead of their favorite idol, while 11 male classmates in their 50s who have been in the stepgroup for 31 years also attracted attention. Accordingly, Gummy left video letters to the audience with various stories, impressing her.

At the end of the performance, Gummy said, “Thanks to you all, I am grateful that I was able to end my first concert in such a good mood. As I perform, I feel like I have become close to you by the end. I remember it even when I go back, and you will also hear my song today. “I hope it remains as a memory. I hope you enjoy the rest of the year and take care of your health. Thank you again,” he said.
