Fans praised QWER’s evolving skills, especially after watching their confident response to unexpected moments.
QWER Captivates Audiences at KCON JAPAN 2025 with Back-to-Back Stages
QWER, composed of Chodan, Magenta, Hina, and Siyeon, made a strong impression at KCON JAPAN 2025 in Chiba, Japan, on May 10 and 11. They appeared on both the “ARTIST STAGE” and “M COUNTDOWN STAGE,” delivering back-to-back performances that captured the audience’s full attention. Their opening track on the “ARTIST STAGE,” “My Name is Malguem,” filled the venue with bright band sounds and instantly lifted the atmosphere. They followed with a Japanese version of their debut song “Discord,” which resonated with local fans and added emotional depth. Continuing with tracks like “Fake Idol” and “SODA,” QWER delivered a sequence of performances that highlighted their unique character and charm, drawing more cheers as the set progressed.
KCON JAPAN 2025 Highlights QWER Stage Chemistry and Musical Identity
On the “M COUNTDOWN STAGE,” QWER performed a special KCON version of “T.B.H,” which began with an extended instrumental intro. Chodan led with tight, confident drumming, followed by Magenta’s steady bassline and Hina’s smooth guitar tones. Siyeon’s bright and clear vocals blended naturally into the sound, completing a stage filled with youthful storytelling. Their use of the 360-degree stage allowed them to interact closely with fans while staying fully engaged in the music. The band’s megaphone performance, now a signature element, added a layer of energy that enhanced their bold, engaging image. Altogether, this performance captured QWER’s growing musical identity and ability to own the stage.
QWER and KCON JAPAN 2025 Spark Emotion with “Youth Promise” Premiere
One of the most memorable moments came when QWER premiered their self-written and self-composed track “Youth Promise.” The song captured their journey as artists, expressing how they held onto one another through uncertain and turbulent times. Its lyrics promised to move forward together until they reached a place where light continues to shine. With its bright yet moving melody, the track brought a heartfelt pause to the excitement of the event. Each member’s vocal tone added emotional color to the song, and the harmony between them demonstrated how far they had come musically. This new track, rich with sincerity, left fans both moved and impressed.
Fans Celebrate QWER’s Growth after KCON JAPAN 2025 Performances
After the performances, members of the Korean community MLBPARK shared their excitement and positive reactions online. Many praised the fresh intro of “T.B.H,” calling it dramatic and full of impact. Viewers also noted how much QWER had grown in terms of stage presence and choreography, especially compared to earlier events. Since late last year, a professional choreographer has guided the group, helping them refine movement, facial expressions, and onstage coordination. Although QWER is a live band, the addition of choreography elevated their polish without taking away their musical authenticity. At KCON, the staging moment that shifted focus from Chodan to Hina stood out as a smart and effective move that won fans’ hearts.
Chodan’s Professionalism Shines through Drumstick Mishap
During the performance, a minor incident occurred when Chodan’s drumstick suddenly broke mid-song. Without panicking, she tossed the broken stick aside and grabbed a spare, continuing the performance with perfect timing. Her calm reaction showed that she had reached a new level of confidence and adaptability on stage. Fans noted that Chodan had always played drums well, but her recent progress made her performances more stable and expressive. With Magenta and Hina also improving on their instruments, the stage environment now allows Chodan to shine even brighter. The teamwork between the members has strengthened, creating more room for each to show their talent.
QWER Builds Momentum after KCON JAPAN 2025 with Global Plans Ahead
QWER will continue their momentum with their first-ever fan concert, “1, 2, QWER! in TAIPEI,” on May 14 at Zepp New Taipei. This marks a key step in expanding their international presence and building closer ties with fans across Asia. Shortly after the concert, they will return to the Korean music scene with a domestic comeback scheduled for early June. Their strong presence at KCON JAPAN 2025 gave them new exposure and helped boost anticipation for what’s next. With improved skills, broader appeal, and continued effort, QWER is steadily establishing itself as a rising force in both local and global music circles.
