Concert synopsis[]
The five-themed performance overwhelms the stage with different performances and atmospheres – '[HEROiNE: Cliché] JUST ME (G)I-DLE' filled with the group's trademark visual color, 'a tragic HEROiNE' which was tied traditional Korean folk elements, 'I NEVER DIE' which kicked off the incorporation of a live band, the pop-punk reminiscent 'THiS iS My ATTiTUDE,' and lastly, the encore stage 'iT NEVER ENDS: NEVERLAND'. The show begins with (G)I-dle appearing on the stage in all-black outfits under a red light with swirling smoke effects, haunting Gregorian chant filling the dark venue and the sound of the bell opening into "Oh My God", then continued with "Villain Dies" and debut single "Latata" while the fans coloured the venue with light sticks. The first theme finished with "Blow Your Mind," "Senorita", and summer songs "Dumdi Dumdi" and "Luv U", which they performed with a tropical backdrop and gold streamers falling over the stage and crowd.
In the second theme of 'a tragic HEROiNE', (G)I-dle appeared in floral dresses that incorporated traditional Korean folk motifs, embroidered with white and red flowers. The stage design centering around dream-like concept with a large moon, which subsequently served as the backdrop to the performance of "Hann (Alone in Winter)", "Hann (Alone)", "Moon", "Already", "Hwaa" accompanied by dancers reflecting the refined mood of these songs' concepts. As they danced, the moon would shift into different colours and shapes, with the members' shadows projected behind them.
The third theme was 'I Never DiE', (G)I-dle performed their 2019 Queendom single "Lion" and "Liar," where they joined by their back-up dancers and a live band, who remained to perform behind them throughout the rest of the concert. The stage was designed to match the original 'regality' of the "Lion" finale performance, with the members performing in front of a royal red backdrop with large golden frames outlining the jumbotron stage video. In addition, from the stage of "Lion", all the members used hand microphones. For the "Liar" stage, the group performed using a standing microphone.
The group proceeded with "Never Stop Me" to start the fourth segment 'I NEVER DIE', during which they performed while running around the stage and interacting with the live band in a way that mimicked a lively rock concert, and subsequently performed "Uh-Oh". After the song ended, Yuqi boasted, "I like band music, I did it with wonderful people while preparing for the concert." Next, (G)I-dle sang "My Bag", which has a catchy hip-hop melody and performs a strong hip-shaking (twerking) choreography. The members battled for the place of 'Twerking Queen, ' making the audience laugh as they set out to determine which one could do the twerk-like "My Bag" point choreography the best. They then sings a cover of K/DA's "Pop/Stars" and performs an explicit version of "Tomboy". The concert ended with "I'm the Trend", "Polaroid", and "Escape", during which the songs were performed as an encore under the theme 'ENCORE iT NEVER ENDS: NEVERLAND'.
