Weeekly rocked the house during their 2024 Grand America Tour in Orlando, Florida and we have special concert photos to share with you all! Dojeon team member, Maria, got to experience it firsthand with hits such as "After School"!
Weeekly started their US tour in Orlando on September 11, 2024, at the Plaza Live, so I could not see any clips or expectations online yet, so I could watch each
performance new for the first time. Here is my personal experience!
Concert Begins!
The lights dim and the crowd starts cheering as the six members move to their first
formation. The lights turn on, "Good Day" (Special Dailee) starts, and the members
“Jaehee, Soeun, Monday, Jihan, Soojin, and Zoa appear in graduation gowns with
stoles. Their excitement and energy radiate off the stage as they perform the
choreography. Halfway through "Good Day" they take off the graduation gowns to reveal
their new outfits variety jackets with dark skirts. From the first song, I knew this was
going to be a satisfying performance from Weeekly, just from their dance alone!
Each member danced in sync, the angles, steps, and positions, I almost forgot to listen to
them sing as their dance was so mesmerizing. “This week is for Weekly, hello we are
Weeekly” they each introduced themselves before continuing with their performance to tag
me…. I start to recognize each song they perform. I did not realize they sang these
songs, so I was enjoying the concert more and more!
Once "After School" started playing, the whole crowd continued their loud cheers and with some space in the back, fans were even dancing to the choreography with Weeekly.
The VCR segment finishes and Weeekly returns to the stage with a new set of outfits
and begins their stage with "Hello". Again, watching their in-sync choreography you can’t
take your eyes off from them. As a photographer myself, I absolutely loved that their
facials were always on point even if they were not in the center, I could take a picture at
any moment, and they would always be ready. After "Dance Dance Dance!" they
introduce their next stage as a special stage and start playing "One Last Time" by Ariana
Grande. Originally, I thought it was going to be just like any other cover but just as the
chorus starts Jihan, Seoun, Soojin, and Zoa are singing 4 different harmonies, I was
blown away by how beautiful they sounded! Weeekly continues the rest of the song with
the chorus singing 6 different harmonies, and again it was such a joy to listen to this
arrangement prepared for the tour. They end this section with "Vroom Vroom" before the
second VCR segment.

The last part of their stage included "Classic’ and ‘Backwards", their energetic
performance included floor choreography before a slower, funk song "Backwards" that
showcases their innovative formations and precise moves. Saying their final goodbyes
before the ‘last stage’, you can see how much work they put into their performance as
they are catching their breath from the previous stages. They end the show with their slower, more touching song "Stranger". And to my surprise, it was the English version. I
love how they ended the performance with a song they could sing together with their
American fans. They are coming up closer to the fans to have fun with them for
their ‘last moments'.
Encore time!
The lights dimmed as the crowd shouted “encore, encore, encore” then “Weeekly, Weeekly,
Weeekly” After a quick change Weeekly appeared in their tour merch and began singing
"Page: A Story That Reached Me". Their leader, Soojin was seen turned away from the
fans, tearing up as she is proud of Weeekly’s performance and the fans there to
support. They proceeded to their final song of the night "Top Secret" and you could see their
happiness and energy on stage almost as if they hadn’t just performed an hour-and-a-half-long concert.
Expectations?

Weeekly exceeded any expectations I had, just from their stage presence alone, you
can see how much fun they are having on stage and with their fans. They have put so
much work into their performance and it clearly shows on stage. If you have the chance
to see them on their tour or any other performance I would take the opportunity to see
them live. I can firmly say I am now a Dailee and I can’t wait to see what they are going
to release next!
