After debuting in July 2023 under S2 Entertainment, Kiss Of Life has captivated fans with their charming personalities, impeccable style, and remarkable talent. While many K-Pop groups strive for a global breakthrough, Kiss Of Life achieved theirs effortlessly. Their stellar discography, paired with daring choreography, has cemented their place in the industry and put them firmly on the map.
The four-member group—Julie, Natty, Belle, and Haneul—embarked on their first-ever world tour, Kiss Road, soon after their debut, showcasing their performances to their fans, “Kissy,” in South Korea and North America. Houston marked the 11th stop on the North American tour, with a completely sold-out show at the iconic 713 Music Hall. Fans lined up around the venue, eager to experience Kiss Of Life’s electric live performance.
Excitement reached a fever pitch as the group took the stage, dazzling in sparkly black outfits adorned with silver accents that glimmered under dynamic stage lighting, synchronized with the mood of each song. They kicked off the show with a powerful performance of “Get Loud,” the opening track of their latest EP, Lose Yourself. As the lights dimmed after the first song, each member donned a pair of sunglasses, triggering deafening cheers from the crowd—it was time for “Igloo,” the viral hit known for its addictive sound and iconic choreography. With over 40 million Spotify streams and countless TikTok features, “Igloo” has become a global phenomenon. The Houston crowd erupted when the beat dropped, singing every lyric alongside the group. And this was just the beginning of an unforgettable evening.
Following a high-energy rendition of “Bad News,” Kiss Of Life paused to introduce themselves and express their excitement about being in Houston. After the brief introductions, they launched into vibrant performances of “Wine House,” “Chemistry,” and “Too Many Alex.”
The highly anticipated “Kissy Chair” segment came next, where the group invited a fan on stage for an exclusive performance of their song “Nobody Knows.” The lucky fan, Carolina, was warmly cheered by the audience as she took a seat on the special chair while the group performed for her—and the rest of their fans. It was an intimate and unforgettable moment for Carolina and the crowd alike.
As the show’s “halftime,” the “Kissy Chair” segment set the stage for an even more electrifying second half. Kiss Of Life showcased their flawless live vocals and impeccable choreography in performances of fan favorites like “Sticky” and “Midas Touch,” two hits that have contributed significantly to their success, amassing a combined 100 million views on YouTube. Before the encore, the group took fans back to their origins with a nostalgic performance of their debut title track, “Shhh.”
Though the show was nearing its end, the audience’s chants brought the group back for a three-song encore featuring “Bye My Neverland,” “No One But Us,” and “Back to Me.” Dressed in tour merch personalized to reflect each member’s style, the group made the encore unforgettable, holding three balloons with Houston’s iconic area code, “713.” After a final stage photo with their fans, Julie, Natty, Belle, and Haneul said heartfelt goodbyes, promising to return with new music and even better performances.
Kiss Of Life’s performance was nothing short of extraordinary, especially considering their relatively short time in the industry. Their energy, talent, and meaningful fan interactions elevated the night to another level. Houston will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting their return.
