Monsoon season for 2024 has so far seen PSY''s Summer Swag back on the stage for its yearly tour. The concert series kicked off on June 29 in the South Korean city of Wonju. With more upcoming concert dates to hit several other cities, we wonder: Is it really worth it? Dojeon team member, Lewis, tells you his experience!
I attended the 2022 summer swag concert in Daegu, and as I have expressed before it was so much fun! Unfortunately, the 2024 season tickets sold out before I had a chance to purchase one, during my time at the show I had so much fun and it exceeded my expectations. For me, PSY had been a figure of K-pop with his song "Gangnam Style" and having listened to that song over and over, along with other songs from that album it helped me to learn some Korean and a little bit more about the culture.
"Summer Swag" is a concert series with water, music, and fun. It features upbeat songs like "That That" (2022) featuring BTS's Suga, "New Face" (2017), "I Luv It" (2017), "Gangnam Style" (2012), and "Champion" (2014) and plenty of water sprayed at the audience to fight the heat. Now this is an amazing way to cool down in the hot and humid weather, and allows you to have fun at the same time with some classic songs!
PSY had been previously criticized for using too much water during the 2022 tour due to severe droughts at that time, however, the 2024 series saw no negative feedback towards the singer, other than that he looked like he had lost weight. As a result, the singer posted a photo of himself eating some beef soup in a restaurant on the outskirts of Daegu before the showing stating that he is trying to return to his normal self.
Let's check out a video from the 2024 Summer Swag!
For me, PSY brings a sense of nostalgia feeling of fun, and a positive atmosphere. I think that all the dancers are very talented, and the idea of having water cannons in my opinion helps to keep the show popular each year, as it's a fun way to cool off and listen to some old classic songs with your friends and family. For sure, I will be trying to attend the 2025 Summer Swag concert, and I hope between now and then a new song is released from the K-pop singer as well.
