YUGYEOM performed at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on March 29th during the Trusty tour. The sold-out show included a donation of a portion of the proceeds to a local charity supporting victims of the recent wildfires in the area.
The concert began with "I Want U Around" (feat. DeVita), where YUGYEOM, dressed in a black jacket, white tank, and jeans, connected with fans right from the start. His stage presence was strong as a spotlight focused on him, drawing the crowd’s attention. YUGYEOM quickly moved into "LOLO," with the audience singing along to every word. He expressed his gratitude to LA, calling it his second home and reflecting on his six-year absence from the city. His interaction with the crowd made the night feel personal, as he encouraged them to sing along to his tracks.
The show continued with "WOOYAYAYA," a high-energy song where YUGYEOM engaged with fans on both sides of the stage. The performance showcased his ability to command attention and keep the crowd fully involved. YUGYEOM’s versatility as an artist was evident throughout the night. "Take You Down" (feat. Coogie) brought smooth R&B vibes, while "All Your Fault" (feat. GRAY) featured powerful choreography. During "Sweet Like," the Afrobeat and house influences took over, with smoke filling the stage during the dance break. The connection with the fans was clear as they danced and sang along. YUGYEOM also teased an unreleased track, "Set Me Free," which had a rap and energetic beat. He invited the crowd to sing along as he prepared to release the song soon.
A highlight of the night came when YUGYEOM performed "Hard Carry" (GOT7), with his GOT7 bandmate Mark making a surprise appearance. The two shared an emotional moment on stage, further solidifying their bond.
For the encore, YUGYEOM returned in a Lakers jersey and performed "WUH," hyping up the crowd with a dance break. The show closed with a heartfelt moment as he expressed his love and gratitude to his fans, promising to return soon with new music. With a setlist that spanned R&B, trap, and Afrobeat, the Trusty tour stop at El Rey Theatre highlighted YUGYEOM's range as an artist and his deep connection with his fans.
It was an intimate show with so many dedicated fans carrying GOT7 lightsticks illuminating the crowd. The green glow played well off each other with fans singing along. The energy was high and YUGYEOM showcased his vocals and dancing skills throughout the night. It felt like an overall wholesome show as YUGYEOM thanked fans every chance he got, and promised he would be back after his enlistment with new music fans could be proud of. We can’t wait to see what YUGYEOM has in store for Ahgases!
