N.Flying Leaves An “Everlasting” Impact With Their World Tour, &CON4: Full Circle
N.Flying recently finished the U.S. portion of their world tour, &CON4: Full Circle. &CON4 was their third appearance in the States since their Korean debut on May 20th, 2015. This is their first tour following the members’ enlistment periods, and they’re hungry to make up for the time spent away from their fans, N.Fia. They’re traveling across the globe to meet N.Fias, even some that they have never been able to visit before. I had the privilege of attending their Los Angeles stop, and I can confidently say it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to.
Before the concert began, there was a soundcheck benefit for the VIP tiers. Dusky red lighting highlighted the instruments' daunting silhouettes as they waited for the owners to take their positions. The sight of that alone sent fans into excitable chatter. Their visuals were stunning as they approached the stage in casual attire. The group enjoyed banter with the audience by praising their Korean skills and jokingly scolding fans who needed to study the fanchants. They eased into the performance with three songs, “Anyway”, “Into You”, and “Rise Again”. Despite the low-key atmosphere, N.Flying’s passion flowed through their fingertips in a way that magnetized the audience to their every movement.
The concert was mesmerizing. Every member had a unique stage presence, and yet their synergy was unmatched. Seunghyub fiercely commanded the crowd with animalistic ad-libs. Hun gave fans whiplash with both his cat-like smile and intimidating gaze. Jaehyun’s force chipped away at his drumsticks, and if looks could kill, we’d all share a grave. Hweseung confidently sauntered across the stage despite his boyish visuals. Dongsung gazed at the audience with the solar system in his eyes, as if it were his first time performing all over again. Even with a jam-packed show, they made time to connect with fans by sharing stories of their adventures in LA.
Starting strong with their hits like “I Like You” and “Moonshot”, N.Flying kept the energy high throughout the show. The setlist flowed perfectly and kept the audience in a state of anticipation. From powerhouse vocal-led ballads to funky bass lines to jaw-dropping guitar solos - N.Flying brought it all. While K-pop idols bring in new choreography or visuals to make each performance unique, N.Flying achieved this with a purposeful rearrangement of the music itself. In the final chorus, they would often switch up aspects of the music or even give solos to the members following the end of the song. It was refreshing to hear them put a new twist on sounds I loved.

Following the show N.Flying offered 3 benefits for the VIP tiers: a hi-touch, a group photo, and 1:1 photos with all members. The hi-touch was standard, and I gushed to them briefly as I was ushered along by staff. However, the group photo surprised me. One would expect to be rushed by with about twelve other fans, feeling lucky if you were able to pose with your bias. For this photo, it was the complete opposite. It was one fan with the entire group, and one could pick any pose as long as the members agreed to it. The members fully committed to all the concepts that fans requested, making each experience especially memorable. The 1:1 pictures allowed for brief conversation with the members. They make you feel special. A member of the venue’s staff remarked, “These guys are amazing. They’re giving you everything.” I couldn’t agree more. From the stage to the house, N.Flying gave their all.
This tour will continue into January of 2026 as they venture to Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America. You can find tickets on Ticketmaster, and VIP benefits are sold at https://www.themasterpass.com/
