Touched captivated the audience with their explosive energy and solid band sound at the "MINTPAPER 20th SPECIAL LIVE," held at the Olympic Hall in Seoul's Olympic Park on the 13th. This concert was a special event organized to celebrate Mint Paper's 20th anniversary, featuring various artists including Touched and Dragon Pony.
Touched opened the show with "Last Day." They followed up with "Nightscape," instantly elevating the atmosphere in the venue from the very beginning. Notably, the Olympic Hall is the same venue where Touched held their solo concert "HIGHLIGHT III" last year, and they chose the same opening song as that event, offering fans a special moment of nostalgia.
They continued to assert their presence with their signature intense rock sound during the performances of "Hi Bully" and "Bad Sniper." Afterward, the members told the audience, "Please focus on Touched," before unveiling their unreleased new song, "Stay by My Side," for the first time.
During the new song, mobile phone flashlights lit up across the audience, and fans sang along, creating a touching scene. The sincere message and warm melody delivered by Touched deepened the atmosphere of the concert hall.
Shifting the mood, Touched ramped up the heat once again with "Dynamite" and "Get Back." For the "Highlight" performance, Dragon Pony vocalist Ahn Tae-gyu made a surprise appearance for a special collaboration stage. The two acts drew cheers from the audience with their seamless chemistry.
The highlight of the concert was "Stand Up!" As the song began, all members of Dragon Pony joined the stage to enjoy the performance with Touched, and the audience rose from their seats to sing along, bringing the energy of the venue to its peak. Even after the concert ended, the audience continued to call for an encore, proving the enthusiastic response.
Through this concert, Touched once again demonstrated their explosive live performance skills and ability to connect with the audience, solidifying their status as one of Korea's leading live bands.
Meanwhile, Touched will hold their acoustic concert "at HOME" at the Mapo Art Center Art Hall Mac for a total of six shows starting in July.
