this week i was super lucky to be able to attend Doyoung’s DOORS tour. i would say i’m a pretty midcore czennie with a focus on 127 and dream, so i definitely wasn’t a stranger to doyoung and the other nct idols. but i walked out of this concert feeling like ive been absolutely sleeping on doyoung as a solo idol, performer, and singer.
his vocals completely blew me out of the water. im not a singer by any means but he sounded so rounded, supported, and stable in every song, even in songs with high notes i could only reach by screaming. it somehow sounded even better than the studio versions – seeing the raw emotion in his face and voice added so much to the performance. he had a nice mix of upbeat happy music (like dallas love field, lost in california), as well as more sentimental sections (luminous, still), where the production took a back seat and it was just Doyoung sitting on a chair in the spotlight singing his heart out to us.
his vocals were amazing, but his fan service was on a whole other level. i walked out of that theatre thinking “damn, that really is a senior idol”. from the start he was so good at hyping up the crowd, yelling “singapore, are you having fun?” or “singapore! lets go!” (i mean which kpop fan wouldn’t want their idol to yell out their country’s name). his personality and experience really shone during his ments. a more junior idol might have stumbled when it comes to solo hosting, but not Doyoung. he kept joking with the crowd, and even teasing the interpreter, making her compliment herself. he even decided to sing his surprise song twice for us, while teasing us to choose the best version to upload online.
im not sure i would count this as fanservice but i could feel his love for his czennies radiating off the entire production. he told us that he loved hearing us sing so he asked his production team to add lyrics on the screens behind him. these were in hangul, but i realised that his team had also added romanised lyrics on the screens on the sides of the stage – this was such a sweet and touching gesture to make us feel included. he was so touched by the banner project as well (he also played with the banner in a very… doyoung way…)
its kind of an open secret that he would be enlisting soon and that this is probably one of his last few promo activities. and this tour is such a perfect bookmark for his 2 year hiatus. he was having fun, we were having fun, and god damn he is so good at this. what a perfect “see you later” for us and for him.
