A chilly November night in Atlanta welcomes SF9 to The Masquerade stage for their "Live Fantasy #5 Love Dawn" Tour. Fans, known as 'FANTASY,' have been waiting since 2019 for SF9 to return to the states. While only five of the eight members were able to attend this tour, they ensured their fans were left with great memories and contented until they can meet again. 


Opening the show with 'Love Race,' 'RPM,' Tear Drop,' and 'Trauma,' had the fan-packed floor jumping and cheering synchronously. Learning that new FANTASYs were in the crowd, SF9 encouraged everyone to come together and make new friends no matter when they became fans, they wanted everyone in attendance to have fun and feel safe. The members Hwiyoung, Jaeyoon, Chani, Youngbin, and Inseong, kept the excitement and togetherness alive during a fan-favorite, 'BIBORA,' later complimenting on FANTASY's ability to keep up and sing along. 


Some of their most casual gestures, choreography, and overall aura was what kept the crowd enraptured. A few solo stages included Inseong's rock-style cover of ROSE's 'On the Ground,' and Hwiyoung's emotional cover of sombr's 'Back To Friends.' Every member's stunning vocals were able to shine and as they came back together, they donned their first group outfit change from suits to their racer jackets and a whole new vibe. The latter half of the show kicks off with 'Just on My Way,' a feel-good pop hit from their 3rd mini album (2017).


There was no screen for graphics or distractions, allowing every FANTASY to fully engage with the performances. The members displayed intense choreography that included an impressive amount of floor-work and even as they recovered between sets to chat with fans, their stamina never faltered and the energy was contagious throughout the night. 


An encore of 'My Fantasia' was a sentimental move that left attendees warm and smiling as they head home. Get your tickets for their final U.S. tour stops here. And stay tuned at KpopWise.com for more reviews & updates!
