WINNER returned to the stage for their first solo concert in over three years, bringing heartfelt performances and an emotional reunion with fans. The group held their concert ‘IN OUR CIRCLE’ from July 25 to 27 at Olympic Hall in Seoul, with members Kang Seung Yoon, Kim Jin Woo, and Lee Seung Hoon taking part.
Originally scheduled for July 26 and 27, the concert expanded to include a July 25 performance after tickets for the initial two shows sold out immediately. This marked WINNER’s first solo concert since ‘THE CIRCLE’ in April 2022, and notably, Kang Seung Yoon’s first appearance on stage since completing his mandatory military service in December 2023.
Ahead of the show, Kang Seung Yoon greeted fans during a Weverse livestream, assuring them that the performance would reach every seat: “No matter where you're seated, you'll be able to see us clearly—we’ve checked everything during rehearsal.” He also dyed his hair blond again, delighting longtime fans with a familiar look.
On the day of the first concert, Kang Seung Yoon appeared as a special DJ on SBS Power FM’s Cultwo Show, demonstrating his strong loyalty and work ethic even with a major performance just hours away.
Over the three nights, WINNER performed many of their chart-topping hits, including ‘REALLY REALLY’, ‘LOVE ME LOVE ME’, ‘I LOVE U’, ‘FOOL’, ‘Different’, ‘Empty’, ‘Don’t Be Shy’, ‘EVERYDAY’, ‘ISLAND’, ‘MILLIONS’, and ‘AH YEAH’, showcasing their signature live talent and energy.
A standout moment came when Kang Seung Yoon performed his unreleased solo track ‘Homeless’ for the first time. The song imagines a world without fans, who have always been a source of comfort and strength for WINNER. The track follows his 2022 self-composed song ‘To My Home’, which also conveyed his emotional connection with fans. ‘Homeless’ is expected to be released later this year as part of his upcoming solo album.
WINNER, who debuted in 2014 after winning survival show WIN: Who Is Next, celebrates their 11th anniversary this year. Known for their musical growth and genre versatility, the group continues to build a lasting career with the support of their loyal fanbase INNERCIRCLE. As one of their lyrics from ‘FAMILY’ states: “Though many years have passed, we’re still just rookies. Let’s protect WINNER forever.”
