QWER will host its first fan concert on January 25-26, 2025, at YES24 LIVE HALL in Seoul’s Gwangjin District. The concert follows a year of remarkable achievements, including chart-topping songs and multiple awards, showcasing the group’s growing popularity. Fans are excited but have mixed opinions about the venue size compared to larger concerts held by other groups.
QWER Prepares for First Fan Concert in 2025
The girl band QWER (Chodan, Magenta, Hina, Siyeon) will hold its debut fan concert on January 25-26, 2025. The event will take place at YES24 LIVE HALL in Seoul’s Gwangjin District. This marks the first fan concert since their debut in October 2023. QWER planned the event to start 2025 with fans, known as “Bawige,” after a year filled with two mini-albums, festival appearances, and university events. The group is reportedly making extensive preparations to repay the fans’ love and support despite their tight schedules.
QWER’s Achievements and Growing Popularity
Since debuting in October 2023 with the hit “Discord,” QWER has achieved impressive success with tracks like “T.B.H” and “My Name is Malguem.” “T.B.H” remains on Melon’s monthly chart and YouTube Music’s weekly chart seven months after release. “My Name is Malguem” ranked third on Melon’s October monthly chart and stayed in YouTube Music’s top five for nine consecutive weeks. Their accomplishments include awards at the 2024 K-World Dream Awards, Korea Grand Music Awards, and MAMA Awards. They also won the “Hot Trend” award at the 2024 Melon Music Awards for setting new musical trends.
The Fan Concert Venue: YES24 LIVE HALL
The YES24 LIVE HALL, located in Seoul, has a capacity of 2,037 for standing and 1,051 for seated events. It is a mid-sized venue often used for idol fan meetings and concerts or foreign artists’ shows, especially when larger venues with over 10,000 seats are not feasible. Fans on the MLBPARK forum welcomed the concert announcement but noted concerns about the venue size. Some viewed the hall as too small for QWER, whose popularity has risen sharply. However, others argued that a sold-out smaller venue creates a better impression than a larger venue with empty seats.
Community Reactions to QWER Fan Concert Plans
Fans highlighted that even with full capacity for two days, the audience would total about 4,000 people. This is smaller than attendance numbers achieved by groups like BABYMONSTER or KISS OF LIFE, which recently drew 6,000 attendees, or fromis_9, which brought in 5,000. While QWER’s attendance does not yet match groups like aespa, IVE, or (G)I-DLE, known for attracting over 10,000 fans, some argued that the size of the fanbase should not diminish the concert’s significance. Discussions reflected the growing interest in QWER and anticipation for their first fan concert.

I wish QWER would focus more on promoting overseas. Performing in other countries is the best way to attract international fans.
