Hailing from YG ENTERTAINMENT, the management stable behind global megahit artists BIGBANG and BLACKPINK, TREASURE are Korea’s hottest boyband right now. In 2020 they dominated the rookie category at numerous awards ceremonies, including the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Now they are blowing up in Japan, with the February 14 release of the full version of ‘BEAUTIFUL’, their first original Japanese-language track. This will be followed by a full major-label debut Japanese album on March 31, titled ‘THE FIRST STEP: TREASURE EFFECT’.

‘BEAUTIFUL’ was selected as the new ending theme tune to the hugely popular ‘Black Clover’ anime series, based on the Weekly Shonen Jump manga. When the first episode featuring the song aired on January 5, the hashtag #BlackClover_with_TREASURE immediately topped Twitter’s global real-time trending chart. A mid-tempo ballad that shows a new side to TREASURE, ‘BEAUTIFUL’ features richly layered vocal melodies and a level of vocal control and nuance that is way beyond what you would expect from a group of newcomers.

When TREASURE’s debut Japanese album ‘THE FIRST STEP: TREASURE EFFECT’ is released on March 31, it will be the fourth consecutive work in their ‘THE FIRST STEP’ series of releases that have already achieved over 1 million sales since the release of ‘CHAPTER ONE’ in Korea in August 2020. The album will include the Japanese version of ‘BEAUTIFUL’ as well as hits such as ‘BOY’, ‘I LOVE YOU’, ‘MMM’ and ‘MY TREASURE’, with all 13 tracks on the album sung in Japanese. A Blu-ray/DVD is also planned, featuring music videos for the Japanese versions of ‘BOY’, ‘I LOVE YOU’, ‘MMM’ and ‘MY TREASURE’, available for the very first time.

Amidst this heated atmosphere, they just had to calm fans down as Jinu take the next stage with a rendition of G-Dragon’s : Untitled, 2014. His powerful vocals had fans glued to their seats.

Next up was Leader Yoon with his captivating smile as he lured the crowd with his magical vocals. He performed 'It Rains' and later on, sang Troye Sivan’s Youth without any music accompaniment! This was the first time he performed this song (ain’t we lucky to witness this?). Yoon ended off his solo stage with 'Instictively'!

Last but not least, Hoony wowed the fans with Serenade. He also covered Taeyang’s RINGA LINGA and that got the fans all hyped up!

WINNER reunited on stage with 'We Were' and that wasn’t all. They continued with a series of ‘Intimate songs’ - 'For' and 'Raining'! They also got Inner Circles singing along for 'Movie Star'. Everyone was so into the moment and this was such a heart-warming scene.

There were simply lots of fanservice in the next talk segment and hearts flying around as the members tried to speak Singlish, English and showing how much they loved the fans in Singapore. This was really a very special night for them and Inner Circles.

If you think that they were going home just like that ... we were all wrong! A concert would never feel right without an encore segment! WINNER came on stage again to a fan project prepared for them. Inner Circles were forming the letter ‘W’ with their lights and the members noticed it! They requested for a photo to remember this moment ~

WINNER was really thankful to SingerCircle (the name they invented for Inner Circles in Singapore. Hahaha!) and kept expressing their love for them! They promised to be back with a new album and new tour and hoped that fans would continue to support them. (Of course we will!)

Let’s end off this wonderful event with a quote from Leader Yoon - ‘I think that singers cannot do well if there are no listeners. We wouldn’t have made it this far. We hope today will be your happiest day. It was my happiest day!’ 

We will be anticipating WINNER’s next album!
