INNER CIRCLES were treated to an exemplary night to remember at WINNER’s first concert on 3 November at the Max Pavilion in Singapore. This marked the first full fledged concert for WINNER in Singapore after their first appearance as part of the YG Family Concert. The group did not fail to treat INNER CIRCLES to super cool performances, intimate moments and unplanned quirks throughout the night.
They began the night with ‘Empty’, a good classic from their debut days before continuing with other more popular songs such as ‘Air’, ‘Hello’ and ‘Everyday’. Members Yoon, Mino, Hoony and Jinu were all equally dashing and charismatic throughout the performances with their statement outfits and sleek dance moves.
Solo performances from each member as well song cover stages were unforgettable from that night. Notably, Mino gave a really steamy performance of ‘Body’ and ‘Turn Off The Light” and Yoon sang his soothing song, ‘It Rains’. Jinwoo and Hoony performed songs by their company seniors BIG BANG such as ‘Untitled’ and ‘Ringa Linga’.
The performances were blessed with short intimate segments along the way where leader Yoon wowed the crowd and spoke the most for the whole night because of his fluent English. Ever wondered why the tour was named ‘Everywhere’? Yoon explained, “It’s named [is] based on our desire to go everywhere in the world where our fans are waiting for us. We want to experience different cultures and make special memories with Inner Circles.”
Yoon also shared the group’s desire to visit the Singapore Flyer and their failed attempt which resulted in laughter in the crowd. “We were so sad,” said Yoon after he told the story of how the members of WINNER were too late when they arrived at the flyer.

Not to mention, WINNER’s style to delivering a performance was super quirky and casual which was something as expected from YG Entertainment artistes. Half the time, it felt like there was no script since there was no translator in the concert. “I Love You Lah” has definitely got to be a KPOP idol’s favourite in concerts. It was no different for WINNER. Though the other members could not speak English well, they would chip in with the best English and Singlish they could express themselves in.
They also had a really interesting VCR clip halfway through the concert that had a storyline about the members as children who would tell what they would do with a treasure found on Imja Island. It was hilarious and cute to see how the members were portrayed as when they were younger.

The night proceeded with more iconic songs such as ‘Love Me Love Me’ and ‘Special Night’ before they ‘left’ stage to prepare for their encore stage. After performing a brilliant encore stage with ‘Don’t Flirt’ and ‘Luxury’, Hoon said, “I’m naming Singapore’s INNER CIRCLE as SINGERCIRCLE” since the fans were singing along so well during the songs.
To end the magical night with WINNER, Yoon then said, “I hope today would be your happiest day. It was my happiest day! We will be back soon, for real, with our new album! Look forward to our new album!”.
We will definitely look forward to WINNER’s return with an awesome new album.
Big thank you to UnUsUal for having us at the concert!
