SHILLA BEAUTY CONCErt ft shinee, red velvet and eddy kim
THE SHILLA BEAUTY CONCERT was held last Saturday, at Suntec Convention Centre and featured popular KPOP groups SHINee and Red Velvet, and solo singer Eddy Kim. Drawing a large crowd of 5,000 people, Shilla Duty Free celebrated the opening of it's new store at Changi Airport Terminal 4, as the ambassadors of Shilla Duty Free.
The convention hall was a mix of Pearlescent Blue and Pastel Coral and Rainbow as Reveluvs and Shawols lit up the entire hall with their lightsticks. Screams emerged as solo and group footages flashed on the large screen at the front of the hall, especially loudly for SHINee’s Onew who wasn’t able to be there that day. His presence was missed but he would have definitely been touched by the fans love and support for him!

Eddy Kim started off the concert with the opening stage, his performance of Apologise and 2 Years Apart. His smooth vocals filled the hall as fans swayed their lightsticks in tune to the songs. After a full self-introduction and short dialogue with the fans in English, he continued with You’re so Beautiful, one of the OSTs of the ever popular Korean Drama – Goblin. Everyone sang along loudly with the baby-faced singer, familiar with the lyrics and tune of the song. This was followed by an original new song by Eddy Kim, as he sang while strumming his guitar. He closed with Push and Pull and The Manual, and this was the end of the first segment. Everyone was sad to see him leave, but not for long!!
The starting notes of Red Flavour could be heard, and the fans screamed louder than before before. A girl group performed dance covers of a medley of Red Velvet’s songs, preparing the fans for what was to come. The lights flashed one final time and Red Velvet emerged, in matching black, white and red outfits, looking as gorgeous as ever. The entire hall chanted the fanchants and the names of the members as they sang and danced and it was amazing to hear the coordination and magnitude of the fanchants! Pastel Coral lightsticks and banners were raised as Reveluvs attempted to get the girls’ attention and it was a pretty sight.
Red Velvet introduced themselves to the fans shortly after Russian Roulette, and were greeted with extremely loud cheers. They were glad to be back in Singapore after their previous visit during Music Bank, and hoped that they would be able to return more often. Before their next performance, they teased the fans that they would be performing their latest songs, “Peek-a-Boo”, which had everyone screaming in excitement, as Singapore would be the first country to watch the performance live, outside of Korea. One lucky fan that took the best photo at the Samsung booth was also given the opportunity to go on stage and have a picture taken with the group!
They showed off their cute side as they performed Rookie and Red Flavour, but the best was yet to come! They ended off with Peek-a-Boo and the fans were ecstatic as they had the privilege to witness it for the first time ever! Although it is a new song, the fanchants were loud nonetheless, and we could feel everyone’s love for the girls.

The lights dimmed once more and a boy group covered SHINee’s title tracks, Hello, Ring Ding Dong and more, before the actual boy band appeared with View. Although they were missing a member, the other 4 members gave their all and we could see their passion and love for the fans. What was more amazing were the live vocals, that never faltered despite them dancing while singing, and the few microphone malfunctions.
We could tell that the boys were excited to meet the fans once again, as Key even chimed, “Let us say Hi to the fans!”, while the host was introducing them, causing the fans to burst into laughter at his eagerness. They answered a few questions from the host, showing their bubbly and cheerful selves, before going on with the next stage.
The next segment showcased the beautiful, raw vocals of SHINee as they serenaded the fans with Aside, Don’t Let Me Go and An Encore. Shawols were mesmerized by their voices, as they swayed the Pearlescent Blue lightsticks along with the song. This was followed by Beautiful, and finally 1 of 1, from their latest album. It was as though they knew the fans did not have enough of their dancing, and they were right.

The screams amplified as they completed their final stage, and everyone in the hall had their hearts unified with one wish – an encore by Eddy Kim, Red Velvet and SHINee. Unfortunately, there wasn’t one, but we’re sure everyone’s hearts were full from the performances that night. We hope to see all of them back in our shores very soon!
