A night of nostalgia and electrifying music as KISS OF LIFE packs a sold-out venue in Seattle, marking Belle’s emotional return to the city she once called home.
Seattle’s Moore Theater came alive on December 12, 2024, as KISS OF LIFE, the rising K-Pop phenomenon, brought their sold-out KISS OF LIFE - 2024 KISS OF LIFE 1st WORLD TOUR: KISS ROAD tour to the Pacific Northwest. Fans, known as KISSY, packed the venue to capacity, buzzing with anticipation for the quartet’s electrifying performance. The group—Julie, Natty, Belle, and Haneul—delivered a night that not only showcased their musical versatility but also connected deeply with their audience through heartfelt moments and stunning stagecraft.
From the moment the lights dimmed, the crowd erupted in cheers, welcoming the group as they opened with “Get Loud.” The high-energy track set the tone for the evening, with dynamic choreography and vibrant visuals immersing the audience. It was immediately clear why KISS OF LIFE has been hailed as a group breathing new life into the music industry.
The energy continued to build with performances of “Igloo” and “Play Video,” as fans sang along to every word. Each member’s charisma shone through, but Belle’s homecoming to Seattle brought an added layer of excitement. Belle, who was born in Seattle and lived there for eight years before moving to South Korea, shared her excitement about performing in her birthplace. In a previous interview with People magazine, she said, “The fact that I was born there really makes performing there feel so special. I'm so happy to feel the energy of Seattle Kissys. Some of our family members are coming. My cousin, my aunties, maybe.” This connection added an emotional depth to the evening, making it a homecoming celebration for both Belle and her fans.
The setlist featured a balanced mix of high-energy anthems and emotional ballads, showcasing the group’s range. Highlights included “Bad News” (performed in its English version), which had the crowd dancing along to its infectious beat, and “Wine House,” where the members’ harmonies soared beautifully. The sultry “Chemistry” and the cheeky “Too Many Alex” demonstrated their ability to blend humor with sophistication.
A particularly poignant moment came during “Nobody Knows,” as the stage lighting softened, creating an intimate atmosphere. Fans waved lightsticks in unison, transforming the theater into a sea of glowing colors. The emotional connection was palpable, as Natty’s rich vocals conveyed the song’s heartfelt message to the audience.
The energy surged again with “Midas Touch” and “Sticky,” two tracks that had the crowd bouncing to their irresistible rhythms. “My 808” and “R.E.M” further emphasized the group’s innovative approach to blending genres, while “Nothing” and “Gentleman” highlighted their lyrical depth.
Before the encore, the group closed the main set with “Shhh,” leaving the crowd hungry for more. The chants grew louder until the quartet returned to the stage for an encore that felt like an emotional send-off. They performed “Bye My Neverland” with a wistful yet hopeful tone, followed by fan favorites “No One But Us” and “Back To Me.” The encore encapsulated the evening’s themes of connection and gratitude, as the group thanked their fans for their unwavering support.
Throughout the concert, KISS OF LIFE’s production team brought their A-game with dazzling visuals and perfectly synchronized lighting, elevating the performances. Each song was accompanied by stunning visuals that complemented the music’s tone and lyrics, enhancing the immersive experience. The wardrobe choices—a mix of bold, edgy looks and elegant ensembles—further showcased the group’s duality.
KISS OF LIFE’s Seattle stop was more than just a concert; it was a celebration of their journey and the bond they share with their fans. The group’s name—symbolizing their ambition to breathe new life into the music industry—could not have been more fitting. From start to finish, their performance proved why they are a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene.
As the night ended and fans spilled out of the Moore Theater, the buzz of excitement lingered. For many, this was more than just a night of music; it was a memory to cherish, a moment where music and community collided in the most beautiful way. KISS OF LIFE left Seattle with a heartfelt promise to return, and if this performance was any indication, their future is as bright as the passion they inspire.
