The chilly night of November 21, the 7-member girl group, Billlie, graced Center Stage in midtown Atlanta for their first world tour. Moon Sua, Suhyeon, Haram, Tsuki, Sheon, Siyoon, and Haruna greet a venue full of adoring fans (known as Belllie’ve), and forget all about the cold weather outside as they dance and sing the night away.
Throughout the night the members sported stage outfits that were flirty and featured plaid pieces, very country chic meets punk. And while they switched between hand mics and headsets depending on the performance, it was seamless the way their vocals still rang through the speakers. After opening the show with songs fans couldn’t resist singing and rapping along to, the members still teased that the show was only going to get better. While some members stepped out for a moment, Belllie’ve, Haruna, Tsuki, and Sheon made waves in the venue that blew the girls away, “literally,” when the “wave” came back toward the stage they jumped away and cheers and laughter erupted at their playful behavior.
All 7 members kicked off the second bit of the show with ‘Trampoline,’ a song that highlights how in-tune with their discography they truly are. The harmonies between Suhyeon and Haram radiated through the seats and the feet of everyone there, the rap line hyped up the entire venue perfectly, and fans were ready to match energy as the group transitioned into another fan favorite, ‘Lion Heart.’
It is clear that each and every Billlie member brings incredible talent to the table and they utilize them well to blend their styles for an exciting set list. And when it is time for a unit to take a break, there is no lull as Sheon, Haruna, Tsuki, and Siyoon cover LISA’s ‘Money’ and AESPA’s ‘Whiplash.’ When Moon Sua, Haram, and Suhyeon retake the stage, the used their smooth vocals to cover ‘Bang Bang,’ by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj. The choreography covers were intense and hit every beat, and the vocal cover shone a light no one could ignore on how well the members could hit the riffs, raps, and ad libs.
The chemistry and joy that Billlie creates just by interacting with one another, the crowd, and their music, turns this regular concert into something unforgettable and meaningful for everyone in attendance. As they sang, ‘BYOB,’ ‘Gingamingayo,’ and ‘Ring My Bell,’ to close out the show, fan voices exploded with every chorus knowing the encore and true end was approaching.
They are sure to continue creating memories at their December tour stops in North America in Dallas, Tucson, Berkeley, and Los Angeles. Visit kpoptickets.com to see them live in your area.
