&TEAM Heats Up the 2024 WeaversCon Festival

&TEAM (Uiju, Fuma, Kei, Nicholas, Yuma, Jo, Haru, Taki, and Maki) met with fans at the 2024 Weverse Con Festival held at the Inspire Entertainment Resort in Incheon on July 15th. Taking the stage twice, once outdoors in the middle of the day and once indoors in the evening, &TEAM performed their new songs and their charms to the fullest, drawing warm cheers from the audience.

First, &TEAM appeared in summer-scented outfits for their outdoor performance at Discovery Park, where they performed a set of refreshing songs that were perfect for the summer. Starting with "Really Crazy," the group attracted the attention of fans with performances of "Alien," the title track of their first single, "Samidare," and "Maybe," which was released on May 8. They also taught the audience the point choreography of "Alien" and encouraged them to respond naturally, and they communicated in multiple languages, including Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, showing their global character.

Leader Uiju said, "It's an honor to be able to greet you at Weaverscon Festival again this year. I think the atmosphere is better this year because it's a cozy and natural place," said Uiju.

The indoor performance at the Inspire Arena was a 180-degree change of pace for &TEAM. The group debuted a new version of "W.O.L.F. (Win Or Lose Fight)" as a nine-piece "full" version of the original four-piece version, signifying the team's identity and dominating the stage with an unwavering sword dance. The audience's enthusiasm reached its peak when they performed "Scar to Scar," the first single, "Dropkick," which has an upbeat melody and interesting choreography that resembles a sporting event, and "FIREWORK," which features a dynamic military dance.

&TEAM expressed the opposite charms of refreshing 'boyishness' and stage-grabbing charisma both outdoors and indoors. Above all, they stood out for their growth through their first solo tour, which concluded in March. They had previously performed a total of 23 concerts in eight cities in Korea and Japan.

&TEAM announced their first arena appearance after their debut, saying at the end of the show, "We are going on a new concert tour starting in Tokyo on July 20. "We are happy and grateful to have realized our goal of meeting LUN's (Lune's fandom name) fans in a bigger venue so soon. We will work even harder in the future," they vowed. They also added, "On August 7, our new album 'Aoarashi' (青嵐/아오아라시) will be released. Please support us in our comeback and concert," they said, raising expectations for fans.

"Aoarashi," which means a refreshing breeze blowing in early summer, is the second chapter of &TEAM's new album series, which is themed around the four seasons.
