P1Harmony Concert Review

By the time this article is released, it will have been an official month since P1Harmony, a rising K-Pop group, performed at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. As someone who attended the concert, I am providing an honest and thorough review of the concert, as unbiased as possible.

Setlist: 9/10

The songs were solid and hyped; it set the mood for the concert swimmingly from the start. The concert started with “Black Hole,” a stellar song where the fans can chant and jump along to the catchy lyrics and rhythm (especially the raps). They continued to perform choreography as a group until they performed solo performances, with popular songs such as “Sticky” and “Uptown Funk.” Songs where they could sit on the stage and sing, Stupid Brain and Dancing Queen being good examples, were sung until more hyperactive songs were back on the setlist. Overall, the setlist was very consistent, with songs of very Hip-Hop, Rock, Dance, and R&B accents. I personally had never heard most of P1Harmony’s songs before the concert, so it was a really good way to get to know their discography.

Performance (live vocals and choreography): 10/10

One word: gagged. It is clear they have a passion for what they do, and they’re good at it. The vocalists were incredible and clear, the rappers were very enunciated, and the dancing was very in sync and executed perfectly despite how tiresome it looked. Though everyone dances, members such as Soul, Jiung, and Intak are especially recognized for their advanced skills and technique on stage.

Audience: 10/10

This specific group’s fandom might be the most unproblematic and overall friendly fandom that exists. The people are so sweet, and you can tell everyone is there to have a good time and have good interactions with other fans. I personally got there right before the concert started—in other words, very late—and this lady was handing out freebies (free official or DIY merch from fans for K-pop concerts) inside the stadium and gave me one just in time; it was incredibly sweet. There was this older woman in front of me as well, and she explained how her daughter was at the lower levels with her friends, but she still likes the group, so she decided to come. Usually, fans help make your time at a concert more enjoyable, and this concert was no exception.

Encore: 9/10

The encore was a near-perfect way to end the concert. The audience was jumping, and Piwon looked like they were having the time of their lives on stage. We actually did the Mannequin Challenge mid-concert, and it was hilarious, by the way. The members acquired cameras and were recording each other and the audience during the final songs as it was projected on the screen. My only critique is that I wish they could interact with fans more, such as walking around the barricade and interacting with the signs that fans held. The venue was pretty small as well, so there weren’t opportunities for carts to ride around the stadium, but hopefully next time they can rent out a venue as big as SoFi Stadium.

Overall: 9.5/10

I loved every second of this concert. It was a great way to get to know the group better; they talked to the fans a lot (yes, some of the members speak English; their leader is Canadian) and gave their best on stage. I’d highly recommend attending their concert when they next go on tour!
