K-pop superstar BAEKHYUN captivated a sold-out Kia Forum in Inglewood this past Sunday, July 6, as part of his highly anticipated “Reverie” world tour in support of his mini album Essence of Reverie.
As the lead vocalist for the group EXO, BAEKHYUN has been making waves through his group activities and as a solo artist, recognized as one of the top vocalists in K-pop.
The show lasted over two hours and featured 23 songs, opening with “YOUNG,” “Ghost” and “Pineapple Slice.” The show included fan favorites such as “Bambi,” “UN Village,” and “Lemonade,” alongside newer tracks like “Woo” and “Chocolate.”

The setlist was structured with interludes, including segments for audience interaction and a VCR + live band segment with “Chocolate,” “Rendezvous,” and “Good Morning.” The concert concluded with a final VCR segment, ending with “Elevator,” before closing out the night with a four-song encore that included “No Problem,” “Garden in the Air” and “Amusement Park.”
LA was the last stop of the U.S. stretch of the tour, and he’s heading to Europe for six dates in July. It continues a meteoric rise for BAEKHYUN, who broke out as a solo performer in July 2019 when he released his first solo album City Lights. His fourth six-track mini-album, Hello, World, released September 2024, set a record as his highest-selling solo album, reaching No. 1 on iTunes’ Top Albums charts in 33 regions worldwide, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia. Essence of Reverie dropped May 19 this year, and has also sold over 1 million copies, making it his fourth consecutive million-selling album.
