🔥 HIGHLIGHT’s Triumphant Fan-Con & April Comeback: What to Expect! 🔥
K-pop group HIGHLIGHT (Yoon Doojoon, Yang Yoseob, Lee Gikwang, and Son Dongwoon) wrapped up their 2025 Fan-Con ‘WELCOME TO THE HIGH-MART’ with a bang on March 8-9 at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. With a mix of humor, interactive games, and spectacular performances, they delivered an unforgettable experience for LIGHT (their fandom)—and dropped a major comeback spoiler along the way!
🏪 Welcome to HIGH-MART: The Ultimate Fan-Con Experience
Transforming into high-energy store employees, the members greeted their "customers" (fans) with a hilarious role-playing concept. Yoon Doojoon played the newbie employee, Yang Yoseob the assistant manager, Lee Gikwang the store manager, and Son Dongwoon the Gen-Z rep.
The event was packed with playful competitions, where they tackled challenges like product naming, shelf stocking, and counting money. Each day featured unique games, and their competitive spirits, sharp reflexes, and athletic skills kept fans entertained from start to finish.
🎁 To top it off, lucky audience members received merch and special gifts during the final mission—talk about premium fan service!
🎤 A Setlist That Hit All the Feels
The second half of the show turned into a full-fledged concert, showcasing HIGHLIGHT’s trademark powerful vocals and dynamic performances.
🎶 Romantic ballads & fan-favorites:
- "Going to Work"
- "S.I.L.Y (Say I Love You)"
- "Classic" & "So Hot", which made a rare return since their previous fan-cons in 2022 and 2023.
🔥 High-energy crowd-pleasers:
- "Give You My All", performed on a protruding stage for a more intimate experience.
- A karaoke-style medley, where Yoon Doojoon hilariously ‘controlled’ the setlist with a remote, including:
- "Beautiful Night"
- "Plz Don’t Be Sad"
- "BODY"
💡 Clever storytelling elements, like video intermissions and a ‘closing time’ skit, made the concert feel even more immersive.
