By Kim Ha-young \/ MyDaily \u2014 What is it about Lucy\u2019s concerts that pulls you in? The band recaptured a crisp spring energy with its first full-lineup show in a year and a half.<\/p>\n

Lucy staged “2026 LUCY 9TH CONCERT ‘ISLAND'” at the KSPO DOME in Seoul Olympic Park on May 16 and 17. The 3-hour, 30-minute concert was their first complete-band performance since drummer Shin Gwang-il completed military service in March, a milestone that lent the event extra weight.<\/p>\n

On stage, Lucy remained commanding. Shin Gwang-il\u2019s lower-mid register paired seamlessly with Choi Sang-yeop\u2019s sharp upper range. Violin lines floated over guitar and drums at times, creating passages that felt almost like a chamber-string interlude. The show confirmed that Lucy\u2019s rising presence on the charts is no accident.<\/p>\n

What stood out most was the band members\u2019 careful attention to detail. Shin Gwang-il brought a wagon-style drum kit that could move around the stage, Shin Ye-chan performed on violin, and Choi Sang-yeop dusted off the acoustic guitar he used while busking. Shin quipped that the drum setup alone cost as much as a car, calling it \u201cmy real drum,\u201d which drew laughs from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Reunited after 18 months, the band displayed effortless chemistry. Their rock foundation\u2014augmented by violin, electronic and acoustic guitars, and bass\u2014shaped a sound that is unmistakably Lucy\u2019s. On the substage, the members ran through the venue to get closer to fans, sustaining a high-energy buzz that kept the arena electric.<\/p>\n

They opened with “\ubc1c\uc544” from last month\u2019s second full-length album Chidish, then pushed straight into “\uac1c\ud654” (Flowering) and “\ud788\uc5b4\ub85c” (Hero), building momentum from the first notes. Through numbers such as “Opening,” “\ube4c\ub7f0” (Villain), “\ub180\uc774” (Play), “\uc0ac\ub791\uc740 \uc5b4\uca4c\uace0” (What About Love) and “\ub3d9\uc774 \ud2c0 \ub54c” (When Dawn Breaks), they preserved the band\u2019s signature sense of freshness.<\/p>\n

By midset, the room had heated up. A medley of hits\u2014”\uc544\uc9c0\ub791\uc774,” “\uc804\uccb4\uad00\ub78c\uac00” (All-Ages), “\uc544\ub2c8 \uadfc\ub370 \uc9c4\uc9dc” (Wait, Seriously), and “21\uc138\uae30\uc758 \uc5b4\ub5a4 \ub0a0” (A Day in the 21st Century)\u2014triggered massive sing-alongs. Every time the crowd leapt, the floor reverberated. Lucy managed to convey both the intimacy of a band\u2019s emotional core and the wide-open energy of a festival.<\/p>\n

During “EIO,” “\ub3c4\uae68\ube44\ucda4” (Goblin Dance), “\ub9de\ub124” (Right On) and “\ub69d\ub531” (Ttukttak), the performance leaned into spectacle. A violin solo fused with traditional mask-dance elements while musicians moved through the standing section, producing riveting moments that held the audience\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

The solo segments were staged like a radio show. Shin Gwang-il turned DJ, introducing each member\u2019s story before they played a song that matched the tale. Shin\u2019s “\uad6c\uad6c\uc808\uc808,” Shin Ye-chan\u2019s “Little Star,” Jo Won-sang\u2019s “Porch Light,” and Choi Sang-yeop\u2019s “Little Star” showcased their individual voices and styles.<\/p>\n

Choi Sang-yeop said he felt they had finally reached what they\u2019d been working toward. \u201cToday we\u2019ll show you why this concert could feel like a last one,\u201d he said emotionally, then added with confidence that the band had poured everything into the show \u2014 ensuring fans would get both an auditory and visual thrill.<\/p>\n

Near the end, Choi reflected on Lucy\u2019s first concert. He recalled that at Blue Square they hadn\u2019t had many originals, so they filled the set with covers, a Christmas medley and material from ‘Superband.’ \u201cOur current feelings are beyond imagination,\u201d he said, thanking fans for making it possible to play in ever-larger venues.<\/p>\n

What began in small clubs has grown into a band that now fills the KSPO DOME. Over those 210 minutes, the audience was reminded\u2014viscerally\u2014why Lucy\u2019s shows draw such devotion.<\/p>\n
