The fans were dancing and chanting to every lyric of their songs, leaving them feeling overwhelmed by their love and passion for the band’s music.

During the break between their songs, Oh Hyuk did mention that there is a reason why he named his album ‘How To Find True Love and Happiness’, he said

“Because I am still trying to find it, and I hope all of you guys will find it too”

The show resumed as HYUKOH performed other of their songs including, ‘Wanli’, ‘Goodbye Seoul’, and ‘Ohio'.

One of the highlights of the night was during ‘TOMBOY’ – the fans started using their phones to flash to their lights, waving and singing along to the song. Out of all the songs they performed, the singalong was the loudest. It was definitely an emotional moment as Oh Hyuk’s soulful voice simply pulled of their heartstrings with the melancholy performance. (Check out the video below!)
