Their First World Tour Sets Sail in Seoul
Rookie girl band QWER kicked off their debut world tour with a sold-out, three-night concert in Seoul that had fans screaming, swaying—and sometimes sobbing. Dubbed ‘2025 QWER 1st WORLD TOUR: ROCKATION’, the tour began at the Ticket Link Live Arena in Olympic Park from June 3 to 5. And let’s just say—it was anything but ordinary.
‘ROCKATION’—Where Rock Meets Vacation
The name ‘ROCKATION’ isn’t just a pun. It combines rock and vacation, capturing QWER’s vision of taking fans on a musical journey. From the moment the girls appeared riding a symbolic ship called the Q-Ship, LED lights blazing and soundscapes booming, it was clear they weren’t playing it safe. They powered through their signature tracks like “Can’t Hold My Tears,” “My Name Is Malguem,” “Worries Overload,” and “Discord” with polished, high-energy band performances.
Exclusive Arrangements and Orchestral Emotions
But what truly set this concert apart were the unexpected twists. QWER reimagined their songs with fresh arrangements—including stunning orchestral versions of “Star Harmony” and “Goodbye, My Sorrow.” It was fan service meets emotional therapy, and yes, tissue boxes should have been handed out at the door.
Each member had a moment to shine, showing off not only their vocals but also a flair for the theatrical. From vocal-dance hybrid performances to cheerleading and flag-waving segments (move over, halftime shows), the stage was bursting with charisma and creativity.
A Whale-Sized Surprise for the Finale
On the final night, QWER surprised their fans by unveiling “White-Bearded Whale”, a yet-to-be-released single. The track, a sentimental reinterpretation of a hit by veteran rock band YB, blended QWER’s unique charm with earnest lyricism. Think indie whimsy meets arena-sized catharsis. Fans weren’t just hyped—they were emotional wrecks (in the best way possible).
“We’re just so thankful our first journey started with you,” the members shared post-show. “We’ve grown so much already, and we hope to keep evolving while sharing our music with fans around the world.”
Next Stop: The World
Don’t blink. QWER is going global. Following their Seoul debut, the band will make stops in 16 cities worldwide, including a hotly anticipated leg in Japan. Their newly dropped single “White-Bearded Whale” is now available on all major streaming platforms, setting the tone for what might just be the K-band breakout of the year.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to QWER’s sonic universe, ‘ROCKATION’ makes one thing clear: these girls aren’t just here for your playlist—they’re coming for your heart.
