STAYC Shines Bright in Seattle With an Unforgettable Night of K-Pop Energy

SEATTLE (October 2, 2025) — South Korean group STAYC brought their radiant energy and irresistible charm to the Paramount Theater, transforming the venue into a glowing sea of color, sound and pure joy.

From the moment the lights dimmed and the opening visuals flashed across the LED backdrop, the anticipation from the crowd of devoted SWITHs filled the air. Fans of all ages; from young teens to elders waving light sticks alongside along side one another, were ready for a night that proved why STAYC’s rise in K-pop has been so swift and well deserved.

The six-member group comprised of Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon and J, opened the show dressed in coordinated white outfits accented with glittering details that caught the light with every dance move. Behind them, the LED screens alternated between high-definition clips of the members and vibrant graphics that matched each song’s rhythm and tone.

The concert pulsed with energy from the start. Fun, synchronized choreography and precise vocals defined much of the set as STAYC moved effortlessly through their opening songs. After the fifth number, the group returned in a softer palette of pastel outfits, each member showcasing her own color, symbolizing individuality within their unity. The change in look added a refreshing visual shift that carried into the following portion of the show, where members took turns commanding the spotlight in solos and smaller group performances that highlighted their distinct styles and strengths.

Between songs, the members took time to speak directly to the audience; thanking Seattle fans for their enthusiasm and sharing stories behind some of their favorite tracks. These candid, heartfelt moments offered a glimpse into the group’s bond with their fans and the gratitude that fuels their performances.

The lighting throughout the night was bright and dynamic, casting waves of pink, blue and gold that reflected off hundreds of light sticks swaying in perfect rhythm. When STAYC launched into fan favorites like “BEBE,” “ASAP” and “Bubble,” the theater came alive with collective cheers and the kind of energy that only happens when artist and audience move together as one.

What stood out most was how comfortable STAYC seemed on stage. In casual conversations with fans who had seen the group before, many noted how much the members have grown; their confidence, presence and connection with each other all shining through. It felt like the group had truly arrived, no longer the promising rookies of a few years ago, but fully realized performers commanding the stage with ease.

The concert wasn’t just a display of technical perfection; it was a celebration. Every note, every dance step and every smile radiated warmth and sincerity. The balance between high-energy choreography and intimate fan engagement showed that STAYC understands what makes a concert memorable: it’s not just the music, but the shared experience.

As the final song ended and the members waved goodbye, fans’ voices echoed through the Paramount, calling out for one more song. STAYC left the stage with the same brightness they entered with, confident, joyful and leaving everyone wanting more.

For SWITHs in Seattle, this night was more than just a concert. It was a reminder of how music bridges generations and languages, and how STAYC’s message of self-love and positivity resonates far beyond borders.

If this performance is any indication of where the group is headed, STAYC’s star is only going to shine brighter from here, and Seattle will be waiting for their return.
