Rising boy group WHIB has successfully completed its first fan concert tour across Asia, closing a significant chapter of its global expansion and officially setting the stage for a January comeback.
From November last year, WHIB (Kim Junmin, Ha Seung, Jin Beom, Yoo Geon, Lee Jung, Jaeha, and Wonjun) met fans in five major cities Seoul, Tokyo, Bangkok, Osaka, and Taipei through its tour titled ‘2025 WHIB 1st Fan Concert: AnD : New Chapter.’ The tour marked the group’s first large scale fan concert series and served as a meaningful milestone following its reorganization as a seven member group.
A Strong Finale in Taipei
The tour concluded with two shows in Taipei on January 4, where WHIB delivered a tightly structured performance highlighting both technical growth and expanding musical range. The Taipei concerts, in particular, were filled with anticipation as the group openly hinted at its upcoming comeback. “Please look forward to our new album,” the members told fans, directly fueling excitement for WHIB’s full group activities scheduled for later this month.
Performance, Versatility, and Team Synergy
On stage, WHIB showcased its energetic identity through performances of ‘KICK IT,’ ‘BANG OUT,’ ‘Rush of Joy,’ and ‘Play,’ emphasizing sharp group choreography and cohesive team dynamics. These stages reinforced WHIB’s strength as a performance driven group capable of sustaining momentum throughout an entire set.
The group also surprised fans with contrasting moods. Unreleased track ‘Make It’ and the R&B-infused ‘Still typing…’ (subtitle: Blank) highlighted WHIB’s softer, more emotional vocal color, offering a clear contrast to their high-energy dance numbers and demonstrating musical versatility.
Unit Stages and Fan Interaction
Members Kim Junmin, Lee Jung, and Wonjun took the stage with a unit performance of ‘Sweaty,’ a mission track from Street Man Fighter, delivering a burst of raw energy and confidence. WHIB also reinterpreted ‘Outside’ as a full group, earning strong reactions from the crowd.
Beyond music, the fan concert emphasized interaction. Games such as selection challenges and random play dance segments allowed fans to see a more playful, unfiltered side of the members, reinforcing the tour’s fan-centric concept.
A New Chapter Begins
As the final show came to an end, WHIB expressed heartfelt gratitude to its fandom AnD.
“Thank you so much for being with us. We’ll cherish these memories for a long time,” the group shared. “Your cheers and support reached us on stage and gave us the energy to perform until the very last moment.”
Industry watchers note that the tour represents WHIB’s first official step forward as a reorganized seven member group one that feels deliberate rather than transitional. By completing the ‘AnD : New Chapter’ tour successfully, WHIB has effectively closed one phase of its journey and opened another.
