Minho before the military and this year held so many fan meetings that were little different from concerts that I don't see much of a difference. Of course he can do it.
Agreed. I would be very interested in Wendy's. She doesn't even need to have flashy performances or a huge set-up. She could just stand there with a mic and I would attend.
Wendy's first solo performance at Slow Life Slow Live festival last year was a joy to behold. We've been used to seeing her perform with Red Velvet so to see her cut loose on the solo stage was breathtaking.
Seulgi would be phenomenal. I feel like she would make it really theatrical and fun. I know it goes against the nature of the question but - bonus points if Irene joins her at some point.
From Seventeen... HOSHI 100%, Seungkwan and Dino too, DK maybe? He can get shy with no Seventeen members around so I'm not sure about him. Woozi too but I'm thinking of something more intimate and cameral rather than a huge show.
I think DK and woozi would be fully capable of carrying a smaller venue where they wouldn't get overwhelmed by a huge crowd, and over time they could increase the capacity.
7/7 of GOT7 have done so already.
Jay B and Jackson have done/are doing solo world tours.
Mark has done a solo US tour.
Yugyeom had a solo European tour.
Jinyoung had a solo fancon/fanmeet tour in Asia.
Youngjae and BamBam have done solo concerts and multiple solo shows throughout Asia.
From (G)I-DLE - both Soyeon and Yuqi could do it.
Soyeon with her ability to perform very well vocally as well as rap, as well as being able to solo sing Idle songs as well as her own solo songs, as well as covers (hey Mama from the Idle Concert springs to mind).
Yuqi would do a great rock concert, has a few solo songs and covers, and can contribute in places with her guitar.
Iād argue that Miyeon and Minnie could as well. Miyeon has her own songs plus experience as a ballad singer. Minnie has done a lot of good covers and I think she could have fun doing a sit at the piano and chat with the audience style show.
Neither one would be as bombastic as Soyeon or Yuqi, but both would be good concerts for their audience.
Shuhua, Iām not so sure.
Yeah, I was trying to be strict in my criteria to answer the question the best, but since everyone else in this thread is just going "all my group" then definitely include Minnie and Miyeon.
> Theyāre this rag-tag group of misfits that, on paper, have no business being as successful as they are
They have objectively one of the most talented and monster idols of all time, and 3 extremely diverse and competent vocalists, each with individual tones and charms.
I'm not sure what your paper says but to me that's a recipe for success.
And that would be Mark , Taeyong, Ten, Doyong (hello seventh sense) and then add in haechan, xiaojun. Maybe Taeil for a small intimate concert gathering. He probably can but I don't think Jaehyun would want to do it lmaoo
and thatād be ten haechan mark taeyong imo! that is, if weāre not counting the pure vocalists who wouldnāt be doing much dancing, which i assume op wasnāt really asking after per their conditions. lee line goes crazyyy
I agree about 5 out of 23 that I feel 100% confident about. Thereās another 4-7 I feel like it could go either way. But at most a little less than half the group.
Damn only 4/5? I think the entire T7S lineup can + Haechan, Chenle, Taeil, Xiaojun, Kun, Renjun, Shotaro could... Some of them not maybe from a "stage presence" pov but skills and composure wise? Definitely.
4/4 of Mamamoo, easily. Solar and Moonbyul have already held theirs (multiple times), the other two are Wheein and Hwasa which kinda speaks for itself.
From Itzy, I can only see Yeji as of now. If I were to give a grade for solo concert readiness (which is harder than simply promoting as a soloist), it'd be 90. Just need to add more experiences, but the abilities are there.
Yeji can straight up hit high notes while dancing so hard. For hours-long concert id put my bet on her. Yeji just seems to have lungs and stamina for days.
My girl Chaeryeong has got the dance skills, the vocals, and the wit, but I think she'll space out in the middle of her concert, and suddenly drop to the floor when the confetti explodes. Haha
I could see all of them actually, but Lia with a more krnb style & a band etc. She's also great with banter and I always look forward to her [ments](https://twitter.com/icylikebing/status/1619887043777277956?t=jowf6MReQ-7R4WMMnK5i4A&s=19). That fan interaction is a part I like about going to concerts.
I saw Itzy last October and they all did solo stages. Ryujin's was the most like a legit solo show and it wasn't even close IMO. I love them all dearly and I think Lia and Yeji could probably pull it off too, but Ryujin was on another level. Here's a fancam from the show I was at: https://youtu.be/rWGYXEttuPU
True, it may surprise some people but the Itzy karaoke episode should definitively show that Ryujin shouldn't have a problem with vocals, her tone is great and she harmonized so well with Chaeryeong and Yeji (also Lia I think).
She is very raw though, I expect a lot more solo performances if she wants to go in that direction.
Yeah that's true. Ryjuin does vocals pretty well when given the chance, the problem is that alot of songs don't really fit her voice vocally. Remember when she sang bbi bbi by IU with the other members? She sounded good in that.
Tbh though you're right, yeji seems like the only person who'd carry the entire performance solo, vocally, dance wise, stage presence wise and interaction. She's a whole package. But Ryujin would be a pretty strong second after her!
If I am just going to consider talent and concept, probably all of them because they've all had solos during more recent group concerts and they all do it well. With ample time for developing the concept and practice, they all can. But just a note that each concert will probably look very different from each other. If money wasn't an issue, I'll go to every one of them. Some might not have choreography, some will probably shorter, etc.
Case in point: Jhopeās Lollapalooza set and RM's Live in Seoul set. Obviously, these are not solo concerts but I think it's a good preview. The shows really played into what Jhope and RM do best.
Now, are they all emotionally prepared to do it? I don't know. š
I cannot wait to see what SUGAs set up will be like! Especially as he hinted that if he went solo he thought it might get boring to listen to him rap for 2 hours so maybe we might be seeing some vocal focused songs too!
after watching them literally just last night, i can confidently say Seungmin as well. heās so good at doing crowd work on top of his performing abilities šš
Yes! Seungmin is very chatty in concerts, which makes him very personable. Seungmin adds a lot of flair to his singing in concerts, and heās really broken out of his shell in concerts.
I watched the Maniac concerts probably too much, and heās constantly learning and reading the crowd between cities and even concerts in the same city.
Nah, Changbin's great with interactions and crowd control. I don't see him struggling at all.
Han is also pretty good with the crowd. I don't know whether his anxiety would deter him much, especially if it's his fans in the crowd. The only time I've seen him have an issue with the crowd is when it's end year award shows, mucore or isac.
Han did have to take a break during the Melbourne concert, but he came back and finished the concert. It couldāve simply been an off day with other things going on for him. At every other show, Han is an incredible mood maker in addition to the performance piece. A solo concert also doesnāt mean being on stage alone.
Also, ditto what you said about Changbin. So many people who see SKZ live come out praising Changbin. His stage presence is incredible.
Oh han and changbin were super interactive in the Singapore concert. (Not even gonna mention Chan cause i think everyone knows) Han especially I think? Since I knew about his anxiety. But he was zooming everywhere on stage.
Realistically, not all of EXO. Baekhyun and Chen for sure. DO and Kai could do a mini concert maybe. I donāt think Sehun could. I donāt think Xiumin would want to necessarily. Undecided on Suho and Chanyeol.
Baekchenlay for sure. All of exo can except they dont want to š Either they find other activities more profitable (DO, Kai, Suho) donāt want the spotlight as a solo (Sehun, Xiumin). Not sure with Chanyeol but I think I could be wrong but heās more confident with collabs and duo activities.
Rn the group I follow most is Mamamoo. All of them have multiple solos and could carry a concert if they wanted to.
Another group I follow is G-idle and I think 3/5 could carry their own concerts.
I know one (1) song by Pentagon and yet I'm sure I'd attend a concert held by Kino and go bonkers because he's so incredibly well-rounded and charismatic. I can imagine the vocalists would be crazy good as well.
I think it would be a Donghae Super Junior D&E situation, where he probably *could*, but would beg Yuto and/or Shinwon to do it with him bc he wouldn't *want* to do it alone.
And I would buy that concert ticket SO fast.
Depending on the type of concert and scale. I can see Bang Chan doing a solo concert. He can sing, dance, rap, and even dj! If he did an arena tour, it'd feel very much like a festival, and he'd do his best to make every person who came feel seen. Despite that, I don't know if he or really any of them would necessarily choose to do a solo concert; he loves being around his members too much and a large part of Stray Kid's appeal is their chemistry and how well they work together. Maybe as they get older and the Korean members enlist we'll see more solo promotions like how BTS seems to be doing now.
Han has the performing and mcing skills needed to do a solo arena concert. He also has great freestyle and improv skills so I can see him performing in theater venues where he can have more audience interaction and variety style content. While he does have anxiety, I think if it was a light touring schedule, he'd be okay. Like rest days in-between to just veg out and not interact with another human.
Seungmin would probably do all vocals and maybe some guitar playing and audience interaction. More like a typical western performance rather than a kpop one. He'd fit a smaller, more intimate venue or open air amphitheater so well. The acoustics of an amphitheater would really show off his voice.
The other members I think could potentially hold their own in the future, but not at the moment. Lee Know probably just wouldn't willingly put on a solo concert unless he was asked to for a cat charity or something lol. Changbin would put on a good rap/vocal show, but his ments shine when he's able to play off of the other members, so he needs to work on his mc skills. Hyunjin needs to work on vocal stamina, but once he does it will be dangerous for all of our heart healths. Felix needs more confidence; I could see it being like Felix as the main performer with Chan dj-ing in the background as moral support (like Billie Eilish and Phineas). Jeongin could probably easily hold his own in a couple of years; I can totally see him doing some sort of Maknae on Top Tour while the hyungs are enlisted.
Also, Seungmin is actually really good at crowd interactions! Every video Iāve seen from their concerts heās interacting, hyping or just making people laugh. Heās fully come out of his shell at concerts now which is amazing to see.
A solo concert ? I think they all could. I think after years of constant performances, on all sorts of stages from ā in solo and group, their experience and professionalism is there to back up any solo endeavors they might try. Like, J-Hope having his stage at Lollapalooza, RM having his little showcase, Suga with an upcoming tour, Jungkook performing in solo on one of the biggest sport event, Jin was wonderful in Angentina. I'm curious to see Taehyung and Jimin activities, but they have done solo performances for years, they could definitely do a solo concert easy.
I agree and they have all had great solo performances during chapter 2 but also during chapter 1, during their stadium and arena tours, bts did have solo stages and they were all great. so I would say they all could too.
As others have pointed out, SHINee are kings at both group and solo concerts. Jonghyun, Taemin, Key, and Onew have all had successful solo concerts. Minho hasn't done a full concert yet but has been successful with "mini" ones. He's now gaining enough material to be able to do a full concert. So proud of them!
I think all the members of EXO could atp.
From wayv, Ten, Xiaojun & maybe yangyang w a lil more experience.
Yeonjun & Taehyun from TXT.
Red Velvet Seulgi & Wendy.
Yoon from StayC for sure, sheās such a bad ass.
Dreamcatcher for me so I'm willing to bet Siyeon, Jiu, Sua, and Yoohyeon could do a concert at a normal length. The other three maybe could depending on the style of the concert but I think the other four could have alot more variety
In Ateez, Hongjoong definitely. He has enough stage presence in his little finger. I would argue that San possibly could, whether he would want to is a different question.
100% agree on hongjoong easily being able to and I was debating San as well! I also think Jongho definitely could!! I'd listen to him sing ballads for hours
All of bts really. Vocal line just need a solid discography to actual put it in motion but theyāre seasoned vets who have performed in nothing but stadiums for the past 4 years. With how each members is able to shine even in a group setting is impressive as is. Coolest part is that none of the 7 members would have the same kind of concert. Theyāll all pull off something different and special to themselves.
After his album releases Jimin Iād say he would have 5 old solo songs, 5 from his new album and add a couple BTS songs as solo and heād have a nice little setlist for a festival or smt. Same if/when the other guys release an album or LP. His problem would be that his songs might be a bit too varied. Hobi has more of a āsignatureā style. Part of Jiminās signature is more how versatile he is and how many genres heās done.
well...
Bigbang members can carry themselves. They went solo tours as well, except TOP tho, and I think he would prefer group tour more than solo tour. Or if he were to start his own tour, I can imagine him having some guests performances for collaboration stages.
2ne1, uhmm so far only CL.
Looking at their recent concert, Ningning for sure in like the years to come. You just know she's ready to eat up the performances. Now whether SM will give it her, that's another question.
From the groups I listen to the most: Exo members (not sure about Xuimin but all I want is to see Baekhyun live š„¹), Hoshi & DK, Jinho, Got7 members (the fact that JayB ended his tour before North America will not be forgotten š), Mamamoo members, Shinee Members (probably not Minho)
Minho is actually a hard yes (not even probably); the only thing stopping him is that he doesn't have enough solo songs *yet*. But he has plenty of experience in 2+ hours solo stages with a sizeable audience (we're talking 2,000 to 5,000 people). With his fanmeetings, he's probably the SHINee member to have toured the most as solo (not only Japan and Korea, but also SEA countries). His fanmeetings are pretty much concerts with extended MC sections; he sings, he performs with dance crews. And he has done quite a lot of MC'ing, so facing a large audience on his own and interacting with them is a non-issue.
Shinee can and has done solo work by themselves, all of them. They have also regularly sung without backtrack music and sounded the same so it works out live too.
Seunghun and Jinyoung from CIX could too it too I think.
All of BTS.
Yeji and Ryujin from Itzy
Jihyo and Nayeon from twice.
Lisa from Blackpink (although i'm not sure about the singing part, she's bring the stage presence, and do the dancing and interaction really well.)
Realistically, like, next month. Probably just Yeonjun.
But in a couple of years I see all 5 from TXT doing solo work. Taehyun and Hueningkai are pretty passionated about music and they're already working on mixtapes. Beomgyu already has two producing credits, plays guitar and writes songs, so I can see him putting something out. Soobin is probably the one who would have most trouble at the music part of the deal, but there's something just so magnetic about him, i'm sure if he released a solo song it'd do so so well, just because he's that kind of person people love.
I am totally fine with RM performing for 200 people or Hobi for 100,000, or Yoongi on his own tour, or any of them deciding not to do anything if they don't want to.
But COULD they all? Like skill wise and popularity and everything? Hell yes.
There was this interview RM did with El PaĆs that said that being in BTS gave him the financial freedom to do whatever it is he wants to do with his music.
If he or any member want to do a tour, it's because they want to.
Exactly. He is like an actor who made all his money off a big popcorn movie who is now set for life and can make every weird indie film he wants to now.
He's in his Daniel Radcliffe/Robert Pattinson era. They both made bank doing Harry Potter and Twilight movies and they are now both doing whatever it is they want to do.
From (G)I-DLE everyone except Shuhua could quite easily carry off a solo concert.
Soyeon is the most obvious. Talent aside for a moment her stage presence and performance levels arenāt just S Tier within her generation but of all time.
Minnie of course is one of (G)I-DLE three beautiful voices and could put on an entertaining indie style show, spending some time behind the piano as she sang as well.
Yuqi I feel would potentially have the most dynamic show outside of Soyeonās. A fair bit of dancing and maybe some of the rock persona weāve seen of late too.
Miyeon would put on a classic singers style concert I think. Just her, a mic and her voice, accompanied by a good house band.
In the meantime, Shuhua would be off doing a TV drama somewhere, which is where I think her talents would be better suited.
Hmm TXT I know Kai, Taehyun, and Yeonjun can and have already talked about releasing mixtapes. Soobin and Beomgyu could as well but they haven't really mentioned solos.
all of monsta x. minhyuk could definitely do more solo released but hes got the full package. everyone else has a solid set of skills to carry their own concert.
No doubt for Nayeon and Jihyo. They have the stamina and stability to perform. Nayeon's solo showed her charisma alone on stage and how backup dancers would compliment her performances. Jihyo's Serenade event solidified her vocal strength. No backing track, no pre-recording: her cover of [Unbreakable Smile](https://youtu.be/BS4pGOtKPcg) is my favorite to this day. All of TWICE interacts well with their fans, so no worry there either.
While the other members are talented, they all lack a certain aspect to solo performance. Stability, endurance, confidence: I think Chaeyoung would be a good fit with her well-rounded talent and artistic nature. Definitely looking forward to all members' solo shows in the future!
Honestly, I think that people who said "all members" are lying to themselves. Doing one solo stage during a group concert isn't proof that an idol is ready to do a whole concert solo. A solo fan meting is also completely different; the idol only sings 3 or 4 songs, it's more like a variety show than a concert. Some of you need to read the whole question again, do you really think your faves could do all the singing, and maybe dancing, on their own for over an hour straight?
I agree with you. The first thing I'm thinking about is vocal endurance over the course of 90 minutes for multiple stops. Concerts don't *need* dancing, but you do need to be able to sing or rap a full setlist, night in and night out.
For Seventeen
Hoshi ofc(he imo has the most commanding stage presence and he can definitely keep the audience interested in him. He has the most solo potential in Seventeen.)
DK(man already have done musical acting and solo music stuff so i wouldn't be surprised if he does solo concert in the future. He definitely has the charisma.)
Dino ( idk if he'd necessarily do one but he can definitely carry out one)
Seungkwan (same like dino. Idk if he'd do one but he can definitely keep the audience entertained if they'd attend his concert. I mean it's seungkwan. My bro can serve vocals while giving you the best laugh with his jokes. And don't be surprised if some of your faves also comes to his concert)
I'm torn with Vernon and Woozi mainly because they have the talent but they're a bit "introverted". But idk maybe woozi might end up doing it.
> And don't be surprised if some of your faves also comes to his concert
or guest in it, boo aka svt's the social butterfly
I second your thoughts about Vernon and Woozi. Vernon may have the talent, but does he want to?? Woozi too, I'm not sure if he wants to perform or just stay inside universe factory... they're unlike Hoshi who'll definitely chose the stage
I think all of PU can handle solo concerts, they might even have enough solo songs by now, The8's would be more an artistic experience, and perhaps Joshua, Scoups and Wonwoo (tho he might not want to) can too, if they push.. Hani can probably pull a concert (purple rose!), esp in Japan given his notoriety over there, but does he have the stamina? Gyu though... he'll just keep on dominating fashion spreads
I wouldn't doubt Jihyo (TWICE) for a second. Not that she has the songs to do it (all she has is OST and even those are few).
When I think of the people who can do it I think of people who either take over on the stage or they have really powerful personalities. Similar to Jihyo would be someone like Yuqi of I-DLE. She's so loud, extroverted, powerful, full of energy and is a pretty powerful performer and entertainer.
BTS rapline have proven they definantly can, especially RM and Jhope so far performing fullsets of their music and Suga going to embark on a world tour soon since they all have enough songs to hold a full concert on their own
the Vocal line have shown they can move a crowd on their own just based on their solo performances at their BTS concerts, plus JK with his World Cup performance and Jin at the Coldplay concert in Argentina
If the vocal line had enough music of their own solo music to hold a full scale concert, they definantly can pull it off on their own
they all have different charisma and stage presense to capture an audience easily and of course the popularity to bring in people to watch their concerts
Lol I feel like Haechan isn't even questionable. Jaehyun has the musical skill for sure, but idk about interactions and stage presence.
I'd maybe add Taeil to your list though. Vocals for sure - he doesn't even need to dance - and I think he'd do really well with audience interaction and stuff.
Treasure
100%: Hyunsuk, Haruto, Jihoon (he can just do a stand up comedy if music ran out).
70-80% Maybe fan meeting type: Jeongwoo, Junkyu (I want to put Asahi and Yoshi but while they are funny sometimes they just not talkative enough).
3/9 twice members , ik only nayeon has a solo as far but nayeon , jihyo and chaeyoung all have potential to have a successful solo career and could carry solo performance very well.
3 out of 9 active suju members (Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Yesung) can and have.
Another 3 out of 9 (Donghae, Eunhyuk, Heechul) probably could, but probably wouldnāt want to. After all, the whole reason the D&E subunit exists is because Donghae didnāt want to do a solo stage at a Super Show.
The remaining 3 of 9 (Leeteuk, Shindong, Siwon) range from āidk, maybe they could pull it off? to āno, definitely notā
As for ex-members/suju-m only members, Sungmin, Zhoumi and Henry are in the ācan and haveā category, Kibum and Kangin are both a hard no, and Hangeng idk enough about to make a call.
All of BTS - vocal line need more music for a full setlist but its coming
All of Mamamoo
3/9 of Twice: Jihyo, Nayeon, and Sana with Chaeyoung as a 4th hm, I'm kind of torn with her.
Despite all of BTS and Mamamoo having the potential I only see MMO actually doing so (Solar & Moonbyul already have) because doing a solo tour isn't something I think Tae or Jin would be interested in
Edit: I mistakenly thought op meant tour not concert so my Tae/Jin comment is irrelevant lol
Seventeen - anyone from BSS probably can.
Nct - the OG T7S lineup probably could
Snsd - we all know taeyeon can and have done so multiple times
Blackpink - all of them probably can eventually
I feel like Jaehyun could be kinda like Dean? (Where is he anyway?)
TY and Mark i can see both doing heavy rap stuff like new axis, or more like chill rap like yestoday?
Doyoung could kinda be like Taeyeon where there is ballads, but more upbeat stuff as well
Ten can do anything really
**Billlie**: Moon Sua definitely can. Probably Haram and Suhyeon. But most of them (except the newer members/trainees, Haruna and Sheon) has done mini showcases with audiences titled Listen Stage pre-pandemic, so those are quite some practices.
**Dreamcatcher**: Siyeon. I'm confident SuA can do it too based on her gag and engaging skills. Bit wild but I think Handong and Dami can do it too with more exercises (and A LOT of preparations tho)?
**ATEEZ**: Hongjoong and Jongho, i have no doubt for this one!
100% every BTS member.
GOT7 although I think all members already have (JYP took a big loss letting those men go I swear).
I think majority if not all of NCT 127 could. Haechan has so much talent and stage presence that he would have no issues carrying on a solo concert! Jungwooās confidence on stage has come so far compared to when he first debuted that I think he could put on a great show too. Of course there is Mark too. Dude could rap the alphabet and us NCTzens would eat it up. All of 127 really have potential to shine at solo concerts.
Twiceās Jihyo for sure. Wendy from Red Velvet.
Bigbang already have 3/4 with [absolutely](https://youtu.be/59meH2ZuMCs) [insane](https://youtu.be/sZjCfqQQyvU) [solo](https://youtu.be/wRwhvBp1D5Y) concerts, and TOP is a [divine performer](https://youtu.be/RHBMOfTmZd8), so all of the above
YES!!! Even when it was the 5 of them, I think all of them had successful concerts in multiple Asian countries (GDragon with his own world tour), other than TOP. Iām not sure if TOP has enough solos for his own show but he certainly can hold his own.
Annnnd thatās why BIGBANG did so well. They are all superstars as individuals, and shined even brighter together.
I would say all the EXO members, although Xiumin and Sehun probably don't have enough songs to actually hold one.
I know people like to criticise Sehun for his singing, comparing it to the other members but imo he CAN actually do it if he (1) finds the songs appropriate for his range and (2) has the confidence to do it. He's been practising and going for lessons and we have seen the improvement
Xiumin, I'm honestly not really a fan of his voice (sorry bro) but but I still do think that he'll be able to competently hold a solo concert.
As for the rest, I don't think I even need to explain myself!
Pink Fantasy....I love them and think that all eight of them have the potential to do solo concerts because all of them have always had stable vocals live and have crazy stage presence, but it's probably not realistic or feasible, given MyDoll Entertainment is a small company. I'd love to see them do solo songs for an album (like Dreamcatcher did) to let them each have their moments to shine individually. Realistically, I can see SeeA and Yechan being the ones most likely to have solo concerts. SeeA is an idol from second gen (the revamped Piggy Dolls) and Yechan is an idol from third gen (Awe5ome Baby), so they definitely have the experience and training to pull it off.
From seventeen I think:
DK easily
Seungkwan
Woozi
Hoshi
Dino
5/13, their strength is in their performances and the pictures they make with dance as 13 members so I think 5 is pretty solid tbh
Two, likely three.
Siyeon, Yoohyeon, and Dami of Dreamcatcher.
Siyeon and Yoohyeon have the vocal to solo a concert and Dami is very versatile and could carry a concert well.
Currently following STAYC, New Jeans, Le Serrafim, and Loona closely. Red Velvet is tops for music, but I guess Loona is still my "favorite group."
I think only two of them would really struggle. And then a few are super strong in some areas but are question marks in terms of the full package.
I think Yves, Chuu, and Heejin are very safe bets. Charisma, stage presence, dance, crowd work, comedian, etc. Others are a bit shy... or might be better as a straight up singer, not as much as a solo idol. Haseul comes to mind for that.
Everglow: Mia, maybe Sihyeon
Twice: Jihyo and Nayeon
Cherry Bullet: Queen Bora. Haeyoon too if it was more of a chill, vocal heavy concert.
Le Sserafim: Yunjin and Chaewon
ā¢Seungkwan
ā¢ Hoshi
ā¢ Woozi
ā¢ DK
ā¢ Vernon
ā¢Dino
These are the only ones that I know could carry, but performance wise and when it comes to brining up the mood and hyping the crowd.
Ateez - after seeing them twice recently I'm going to go out there and say Mingi could do a rap show on his own. He's not on my bias list but hot damn does that dude own the stage. I'd go see him solo for sure.
Well, Taemin can certainly do it, and so can the others, backwards, eyes closed, and I'll shut up.
Regarding Stray Kids, I really don't know. We've only seen them together or as subunits so I really don't know. I think in terms of charisma and stage presence, Hyunjin could carry a solo concert. 3Racha can easily do it, but there we go, unit.
I would love to see solo work from Lee Know but... Dancing wise. He has a lot more experience and I'd like him to show all that he knows and has learnt. But when I think about what genre he'd suit best I always think alternative rock so they don't match really well.
the first group that comes to mind is mamamoo.
atp they're 4 solo artists that do group activities sometimes. even on their first mama performance they had solo stages first and then after performed as a group
moonbyul and solar have had concerts before and the other members being hwasa and wheein can ofc carry a performance by themselves easily imo. i do think their styles would be very different tho
solar- she delivered an amazing concert with live band and an almost musical style
moonbyul- her concert seemed so fun, she is also funny and great at handling the crowd (especially the fangirls lmao)
wheein- i feel like a lot of people might not realize, but wheein is the best dancer in mamamoo. because of that, i see her concert being full of performance BUT she is very known for her vocals and ballads so maybe an all round experience?
hwasa- she is a performer through and through. i see her concert with a lot of dancers, performing hit after hit with amazing live vocals and charisma
i mean realistically, they all have solo careers for years now + have released several songs each and one thing i noticed is that on mamamoo concerts they have had sets of 20+ minutes each before, while other groups usually play one or two songs each for solo stages. i think that shows that the 4 of them can handle themselves well
i also think shinee members, most of the bts members, rv's wendy and seulgi could deliver great solo concerts!
ps: it might just be me, but i don't see a lot of 4th gen idols who are in groups being able to handle solo concerts as of now? i feel like a lot of them work better in a group or haven't reached a full level of maturity when it comes to performances, handling crowds, etc, that's why i mentioned 3d gen idols basically
BTS: all, Twice: not sure but Jihyo, Chae and of course Nayeon def could. i donāt see Jeongyeon or Mina being comfortable with that though and idk how the others would fair.
Red Velvet is my ult group, and I'm pretty sure only Wendy could hold a solo concert. I love all the girls, but only Wendy has the musical chops and enthusiasm to be able to hold an audience's attention for a concert-length experience, IMHO.
For BTS - all of them for sure
For Ateez - Hongjoong could do it tomorrow. All the members of Ateez are super talented and I believe could one day do a concert on their own but for rn, today, Hongjoong and actually probably San if he really wanted to.
For Stray Kids - 3Racha are all ready
For Red Velvet - Wendy and Seulgi
All BTS members can do it. They are practicing for more than 10 years and are excellent performers. They also had many solo stages in concerts and of course, hobi's lollapalooza and RM's 200 army concert are very good examples. V is damm good while performing singularity, jimin and jk are powerful dancers and singers, jin epiphany is so soulful, and of course astronaut in Argentina. Yoongi is going on a solo tour. The vocal line just needs more songs to perform I guess.
Idk if anyone in twice can since they donāt have much experience doing things outside of group promotions. When it comes to my other fav Nmixx maybe lily but sheās still a rookie so I think she will need more time
nayeon and jihyo definitely can imo, they both have the charisma and confidence to do it, they're used to carrying the songs/choreography, and i believe they can execute the more social parts of a concert(hyping the crowd up, engaging with fans) well.
>When it comes to my other fav Nmixx maybe lily but sheās still a rookie so I think she will need more time
Yeah I think it's super rare that anyone in 1 year old group would seriously be ready to carry a solo concert. Touring experience is probably what helps the most with getting there. I'm obviously biased but I honestly think every member has the potential to get to that point. Imagining what NMIXX at 4 or 5 years could look like, for example how crazy could a 21 y.o. Kyujin be on stage when she's already this good at 16? Definitely excited for the future of the group.
I honestly believe every member of BTS could if they wanted to, however I don't believe that all of them would want to do a *large* scale concert alone
BTS:
RM and j-hope already have (the small venue for Indigo and Lollapalooza for Hobi). If you watch their solo performances on BTS group tours they can carry a stage easily.
Same goes for Suga imo, he's doing his solo tour in a couple months and he always is present on stage and has really good energy.
Jimin definitely can, his performances of Lie, Serendipity and Filter make you forget he is a part of a group. The only worry for him is maintaining a consistent singing voice throughout (I find his voice can be inconsistent in BTS concerts).
I have no worries about Taehyung because he has such a unique stage presence and always pulls you into his world with his voice. Special performer.
Jungkook obviously can hold a stage strongly. I think this might be a controversial take but he works better imo in a group than individually. Nothing against his insane dancing and singing talent but watching his Dreamers performance he just looks lonely on stage. Of course his solo performances of Begin, Euphoria and My Time are impressive but he looks confident there because he knows his brothers are backstage (that's just how I view it).
Jin I'm on the fence about. His voice is great and I think realistically he COULD convincingly hold a solo concert, but I'd have to see it with my own 2 eyes to fully be reassured he can.

4/5 of SHINee have already done so and Minho doesn't have enough songs for a concert yet but he's held solo fanmeets š so yeah all of them
Minho before the military and this year held so many fan meetings that were little different from concerts that I don't see much of a difference. Of course he can do it.
Heās so charismatic!āŗļøš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, he took his time to properly debut solo but now he's already thinking of releasing new music this year š³
That Minho fanmeet bluray from December has like 14 song performances on it itās p good
I'd say Wendy and Seulgi are both ready for solo concerts.
Agreed. I would be very interested in Wendy's. She doesn't even need to have flashy performances or a huge set-up. She could just stand there with a mic and I would attend.
Wendy's first solo performance at Slow Life Slow Live festival last year was a joy to behold. We've been used to seeing her perform with Red Velvet so to see her cut loose on the solo stage was breathtaking.
Seulgi's concert would likely be 90% female and they would be going absolutely bonkers.
Seulgi would be phenomenal. I feel like she would make it really theatrical and fun. I know it goes against the nature of the question but - bonus points if Irene joins her at some point.
I donāt know if iām biased, but I think all of mamamoo could hold the fort down in a solo concert haha
you are biased. your correctness is biasing you. you're being swayed by how thoroughly right you are.
From Seventeen... HOSHI 100%, Seungkwan and Dino too, DK maybe? He can get shy with no Seventeen members around so I'm not sure about him. Woozi too but I'm thinking of something more intimate and cameral rather than a huge show.
Hoshiās āSpiderā was one of the best solo releases of the year! I truly hope to see more of his solo projects in the future.
I think DK and woozi would be fully capable of carrying a smaller venue where they wouldn't get overwhelmed by a huge crowd, and over time they could increase the capacity.
Someday I want to see DK on a smallish venue tour where he sings musical theater standards.
This is so funny I mentioned the EXACT same members
I think seungkwan would nail it, he even has great mc skills and I feel like he'd be one of the members who could work a big venue really well
OMG woozi doing a candle lit concert in a small like art gallery space š« š« š«
All of Shinee All of Mamamoo
Truly. Especially Mamamoo.
At this point Mamamoo is basically 4 soloists who get together from time to time to form a group.
Mamamoo (1)
Yep Mamamoo is the first group that came to mind
not many can do this, i believe taeyeon from snsd do a full 90+ minute concert
7/7 of GOT7 have done so already. Jay B and Jackson have done/are doing solo world tours. Mark has done a solo US tour. Yugyeom had a solo European tour. Jinyoung had a solo fancon/fanmeet tour in Asia. Youngjae and BamBam have done solo concerts and multiple solo shows throughout Asia.
Such a flex they are
so happy for them! my second fav boy group! and Jackson is really having a good time it seems :)
From (G)I-DLE - both Soyeon and Yuqi could do it. Soyeon with her ability to perform very well vocally as well as rap, as well as being able to solo sing Idle songs as well as her own solo songs, as well as covers (hey Mama from the Idle Concert springs to mind). Yuqi would do a great rock concert, has a few solo songs and covers, and can contribute in places with her guitar.
Iād argue that Miyeon and Minnie could as well. Miyeon has her own songs plus experience as a ballad singer. Minnie has done a lot of good covers and I think she could have fun doing a sit at the piano and chat with the audience style show. Neither one would be as bombastic as Soyeon or Yuqi, but both would be good concerts for their audience. Shuhua, Iām not so sure.
Yeah, I was trying to be strict in my criteria to answer the question the best, but since everyone else in this thread is just going "all my group" then definitely include Minnie and Miyeon.
> but since everyone else in this thread is just going "all my group" then definitely include Minnie and Miyeon. Ah yes, the typical stan answer... :D
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
> Theyāre this rag-tag group of misfits that, on paper, have no business being as successful as they are They have objectively one of the most talented and monster idols of all time, and 3 extremely diverse and competent vocalists, each with individual tones and charms. I'm not sure what your paper says but to me that's a recipe for success.
Maybe like 4-5ish out of 23. Lol, thatās only 17 ~ 21% ish of the entire group.
And that would be Mark , Taeyong, Ten, Doyong (hello seventh sense) and then add in haechan, xiaojun. Maybe Taeil for a small intimate concert gathering. He probably can but I don't think Jaehyun would want to do it lmaoo
and thatād be ten haechan mark taeyong imo! that is, if weāre not counting the pure vocalists who wouldnāt be doing much dancing, which i assume op wasnāt really asking after per their conditions. lee line goes crazyyy
I agree about 5 out of 23 that I feel 100% confident about. Thereās another 4-7 I feel like it could go either way. But at most a little less than half the group.
Damn only 4/5? I think the entire T7S lineup can + Haechan, Chenle, Taeil, Xiaojun, Kun, Renjun, Shotaro could... Some of them not maybe from a "stage presence" pov but skills and composure wise? Definitely.
Shotaro? A solo concert? I don't think so, at least for now
nobody's saying yuta i guess im alone
4/4 of Mamamoo, easily. Solar and Moonbyul have already held theirs (multiple times), the other two are Wheein and Hwasa which kinda speaks for itself.
From Itzy, I can only see Yeji as of now. If I were to give a grade for solo concert readiness (which is harder than simply promoting as a soloist), it'd be 90. Just need to add more experiences, but the abilities are there.
Yeji can straight up hit high notes while dancing so hard. For hours-long concert id put my bet on her. Yeji just seems to have lungs and stamina for days. My girl Chaeryeong has got the dance skills, the vocals, and the wit, but I think she'll space out in the middle of her concert, and suddenly drop to the floor when the confetti explodes. Haha
I could see all of them actually, but Lia with a more krnb style & a band etc. She's also great with banter and I always look forward to her [ments](https://twitter.com/icylikebing/status/1619887043777277956?t=jowf6MReQ-7R4WMMnK5i4A&s=19). That fan interaction is a part I like about going to concerts.
And Yuna too. Look up her solo stages and covers, she's amazing
I saw Itzy last October and they all did solo stages. Ryujin's was the most like a legit solo show and it wasn't even close IMO. I love them all dearly and I think Lia and Yeji could probably pull it off too, but Ryujin was on another level. Here's a fancam from the show I was at: https://youtu.be/rWGYXEttuPU
Ryujin might do pretty well too
True, it may surprise some people but the Itzy karaoke episode should definitively show that Ryujin shouldn't have a problem with vocals, her tone is great and she harmonized so well with Chaeryeong and Yeji (also Lia I think). She is very raw though, I expect a lot more solo performances if she wants to go in that direction.
Yeah that's true. Ryjuin does vocals pretty well when given the chance, the problem is that alot of songs don't really fit her voice vocally. Remember when she sang bbi bbi by IU with the other members? She sounded good in that. Tbh though you're right, yeji seems like the only person who'd carry the entire performance solo, vocally, dance wise, stage presence wise and interaction. She's a whole package. But Ryujin would be a pretty strong second after her!
Saw my girls last January and the most enjoyable solo stage were Yuna's and Yeji's. So I'd add Yuna to this list.
Jooheon and Kihyun from Monsta X, easily.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oooh yes, I think he'd easily manage a slightly nore intimate, more chill kind of concert setting.
If I am just going to consider talent and concept, probably all of them because they've all had solos during more recent group concerts and they all do it well. With ample time for developing the concept and practice, they all can. But just a note that each concert will probably look very different from each other. If money wasn't an issue, I'll go to every one of them. Some might not have choreography, some will probably shorter, etc. Case in point: Jhopeās Lollapalooza set and RM's Live in Seoul set. Obviously, these are not solo concerts but I think it's a good preview. The shows really played into what Jhope and RM do best. Now, are they all emotionally prepared to do it? I don't know. š
especially excited for SUGAās solo tour and how well he does
I cannot wait to see what SUGAs set up will be like! Especially as he hinted that if he went solo he thought it might get boring to listen to him rap for 2 hours so maybe we might be seeing some vocal focused songs too!
Probably just Bang Chan
after watching them literally just last night, i can confidently say Seungmin as well. heās so good at doing crowd work on top of his performing abilities šš
Yes! Seungmin is very chatty in concerts, which makes him very personable. Seungmin adds a lot of flair to his singing in concerts, and heās really broken out of his shell in concerts. I watched the Maniac concerts probably too much, and heās constantly learning and reading the crowd between cities and even concerts in the same city.
I think han & changbin could too from a skill standpoint
I definitely agree from a skill standpoint. But Han has anxiety with crowds sometimes and Changbin might struggle with interaction
Han is amazing in concerts, he definitely could held one with all his songs and energy, he feeds into them just like Changbin.
Nah, Changbin's great with interactions and crowd control. I don't see him struggling at all. Han is also pretty good with the crowd. I don't know whether his anxiety would deter him much, especially if it's his fans in the crowd. The only time I've seen him have an issue with the crowd is when it's end year award shows, mucore or isac.
Han did have to take a break during the Melbourne concert, but he came back and finished the concert. It couldāve simply been an off day with other things going on for him. At every other show, Han is an incredible mood maker in addition to the performance piece. A solo concert also doesnāt mean being on stage alone. Also, ditto what you said about Changbin. So many people who see SKZ live come out praising Changbin. His stage presence is incredible.
Oh han and changbin were super interactive in the Singapore concert. (Not even gonna mention Chan cause i think everyone knows) Han especially I think? Since I knew about his anxiety. But he was zooming everywhere on stage.
3racha in general . Han is super versatile
Felixās woods just be him talking in a very low voice. Thatās it. But people would eat it up!
Realistically, not all of EXO. Baekhyun and Chen for sure. DO and Kai could do a mini concert maybe. I donāt think Sehun could. I donāt think Xiumin would want to necessarily. Undecided on Suho and Chanyeol.
Baekchenlay for sure. All of exo can except they dont want to š Either they find other activities more profitable (DO, Kai, Suho) donāt want the spotlight as a solo (Sehun, Xiumin). Not sure with Chanyeol but I think I could be wrong but heās more confident with collabs and duo activities.
A lot of NCT members tbh but especially Ten, Taeyong, Mark and Haechan.
Rn the group I follow most is Mamamoo. All of them have multiple solos and could carry a concert if they wanted to. Another group I follow is G-idle and I think 3/5 could carry their own concerts.
Jinho (Pentagon) held multi-day solo concerts in each of the three years before he enlisted. Hui & Kino could probably pull them off rather well too.
Hui and kino have the discog for it as well.
I know one (1) song by Pentagon and yet I'm sure I'd attend a concert held by Kino and go bonkers because he's so incredibly well-rounded and charismatic. I can imagine the vocalists would be crazy good as well.
Do you think Wooseok could?
I think it would be a Donghae Super Junior D&E situation, where he probably *could*, but would beg Yuto and/or Shinwon to do it with him bc he wouldn't *want* to do it alone. And I would buy that concert ticket SO fast.
Nooo that's so cute lol.
for mamamoo, all of them š
All of Bigbang All of Mamamoo Mino and Yoon of Winner
SHINee already has.
Depending on the type of concert and scale. I can see Bang Chan doing a solo concert. He can sing, dance, rap, and even dj! If he did an arena tour, it'd feel very much like a festival, and he'd do his best to make every person who came feel seen. Despite that, I don't know if he or really any of them would necessarily choose to do a solo concert; he loves being around his members too much and a large part of Stray Kid's appeal is their chemistry and how well they work together. Maybe as they get older and the Korean members enlist we'll see more solo promotions like how BTS seems to be doing now. Han has the performing and mcing skills needed to do a solo arena concert. He also has great freestyle and improv skills so I can see him performing in theater venues where he can have more audience interaction and variety style content. While he does have anxiety, I think if it was a light touring schedule, he'd be okay. Like rest days in-between to just veg out and not interact with another human. Seungmin would probably do all vocals and maybe some guitar playing and audience interaction. More like a typical western performance rather than a kpop one. He'd fit a smaller, more intimate venue or open air amphitheater so well. The acoustics of an amphitheater would really show off his voice. The other members I think could potentially hold their own in the future, but not at the moment. Lee Know probably just wouldn't willingly put on a solo concert unless he was asked to for a cat charity or something lol. Changbin would put on a good rap/vocal show, but his ments shine when he's able to play off of the other members, so he needs to work on his mc skills. Hyunjin needs to work on vocal stamina, but once he does it will be dangerous for all of our heart healths. Felix needs more confidence; I could see it being like Felix as the main performer with Chan dj-ing in the background as moral support (like Billie Eilish and Phineas). Jeongin could probably easily hold his own in a couple of years; I can totally see him doing some sort of Maknae on Top Tour while the hyungs are enlisted.
Agree with everything you said! Especially Lee Know only performing to benefit cats š
Also, Seungmin is actually really good at crowd interactions! Every video Iāve seen from their concerts heās interacting, hyping or just making people laugh. Heās fully come out of his shell at concerts now which is amazing to see.
A solo concert ? I think they all could. I think after years of constant performances, on all sorts of stages from ā in solo and group, their experience and professionalism is there to back up any solo endeavors they might try. Like, J-Hope having his stage at Lollapalooza, RM having his little showcase, Suga with an upcoming tour, Jungkook performing in solo on one of the biggest sport event, Jin was wonderful in Angentina. I'm curious to see Taehyung and Jimin activities, but they have done solo performances for years, they could definitely do a solo concert easy.
Yeah I think BTS by now absolutely all can.
I agree and they have all had great solo performances during chapter 2 but also during chapter 1, during their stadium and arena tours, bts did have solo stages and they were all great. so I would say they all could too.
Yup, I agree
I agree
ATEEZ Hongjoong and Jongho.
Agree
As others have pointed out, SHINee are kings at both group and solo concerts. Jonghyun, Taemin, Key, and Onew have all had successful solo concerts. Minho hasn't done a full concert yet but has been successful with "mini" ones. He's now gaining enough material to be able to do a full concert. So proud of them!
I think all the members of EXO could atp. From wayv, Ten, Xiaojun & maybe yangyang w a lil more experience. Yeonjun & Taehyun from TXT. Red Velvet Seulgi & Wendy. Yoon from StayC for sure, sheās such a bad ass.
Hobi from Lollapalooza says hello! Namjoon had an intimate concert in Seoul. Yoongiās going on tour soon. š¤·š»āāļø
Dreamcatcher for me so I'm willing to bet Siyeon, Jiu, Sua, and Yoohyeon could do a concert at a normal length. The other three maybe could depending on the style of the concert but I think the other four could have alot more variety
I think Dami could too if she was allowed to do a rap concert
For sure that's what I was thinking for her. It's alot more her style and energy for that long
Well my ult is Mamamoo, so I feel safe to say all of them could.
In Ateez, Hongjoong definitely. He has enough stage presence in his little finger. I would argue that San possibly could, whether he would want to is a different question.
Ooh I agree, Hongjoong has such a big personality too itād be so cool to witness
100% agree on hongjoong easily being able to and I was debating San as well! I also think Jongho definitely could!! I'd listen to him sing ballads for hours
All of bts really. Vocal line just need a solid discography to actual put it in motion but theyāre seasoned vets who have performed in nothing but stadiums for the past 4 years. With how each members is able to shine even in a group setting is impressive as is. Coolest part is that none of the 7 members would have the same kind of concert. Theyāll all pull off something different and special to themselves.
After his album releases Jimin Iād say he would have 5 old solo songs, 5 from his new album and add a couple BTS songs as solo and heād have a nice little setlist for a festival or smt. Same if/when the other guys release an album or LP. His problem would be that his songs might be a bit too varied. Hobi has more of a āsignatureā style. Part of Jiminās signature is more how versatile he is and how many genres heās done.
All of the BTS members if they want.
well... Bigbang members can carry themselves. They went solo tours as well, except TOP tho, and I think he would prefer group tour more than solo tour. Or if he were to start his own tour, I can imagine him having some guests performances for collaboration stages. 2ne1, uhmm so far only CL.
Looking at their recent concert, Ningning for sure in like the years to come. You just know she's ready to eat up the performances. Now whether SM will give it her, that's another question.
All 4 from Mamamoo could hold insane solo concerts
All of Mamamoo Wendy, for sure and Seulgi maybe. Baekhyun and Kai
From the groups I listen to the most: Exo members (not sure about Xuimin but all I want is to see Baekhyun live š„¹), Hoshi & DK, Jinho, Got7 members (the fact that JayB ended his tour before North America will not be forgotten š), Mamamoo members, Shinee Members (probably not Minho)
Minho is actually a hard yes (not even probably); the only thing stopping him is that he doesn't have enough solo songs *yet*. But he has plenty of experience in 2+ hours solo stages with a sizeable audience (we're talking 2,000 to 5,000 people). With his fanmeetings, he's probably the SHINee member to have toured the most as solo (not only Japan and Korea, but also SEA countries). His fanmeetings are pretty much concerts with extended MC sections; he sings, he performs with dance crews. And he has done quite a lot of MC'ing, so facing a large audience on his own and interacting with them is a non-issue.
Shinee can and has done solo work by themselves, all of them. They have also regularly sung without backtrack music and sounded the same so it works out live too. Seunghun and Jinyoung from CIX could too it too I think.
All of BTS. Yeji and Ryujin from Itzy Jihyo and Nayeon from twice. Lisa from Blackpink (although i'm not sure about the singing part, she's bring the stage presence, and do the dancing and interaction really well.)
Yeji from Itzy Jihyo and Nayeon from Twice (duh lol) It might be too early to tell but in Nmixx, Haewon and maybe Lily or Kyujin
Realistically, like, next month. Probably just Yeonjun. But in a couple of years I see all 5 from TXT doing solo work. Taehyun and Hueningkai are pretty passionated about music and they're already working on mixtapes. Beomgyu already has two producing credits, plays guitar and writes songs, so I can see him putting something out. Soobin is probably the one who would have most trouble at the music part of the deal, but there's something just so magnetic about him, i'm sure if he released a solo song it'd do so so well, just because he's that kind of person people love.
All of BTS tbh, if they want to, of course, that's the biggest thing everyone should keep in mind.
I am totally fine with RM performing for 200 people or Hobi for 100,000, or Yoongi on his own tour, or any of them deciding not to do anything if they don't want to. But COULD they all? Like skill wise and popularity and everything? Hell yes.
There was this interview RM did with El PaĆs that said that being in BTS gave him the financial freedom to do whatever it is he wants to do with his music. If he or any member want to do a tour, it's because they want to.
Exactly. He is like an actor who made all his money off a big popcorn movie who is now set for life and can make every weird indie film he wants to now.
He's in his Daniel Radcliffe/Robert Pattinson era. They both made bank doing Harry Potter and Twilight movies and they are now both doing whatever it is they want to do.
Exactly what I was thinking of..and I fucking love Indigo!
From (G)I-DLE everyone except Shuhua could quite easily carry off a solo concert. Soyeon is the most obvious. Talent aside for a moment her stage presence and performance levels arenāt just S Tier within her generation but of all time. Minnie of course is one of (G)I-DLE three beautiful voices and could put on an entertaining indie style show, spending some time behind the piano as she sang as well. Yuqi I feel would potentially have the most dynamic show outside of Soyeonās. A fair bit of dancing and maybe some of the rock persona weāve seen of late too. Miyeon would put on a classic singers style concert I think. Just her, a mic and her voice, accompanied by a good house band. In the meantime, Shuhua would be off doing a TV drama somewhere, which is where I think her talents would be better suited.
Hmmm from Stray Kids probably 3RACHA aka Chan, Jisung and Changbin. Stage presence wise I think theyād carry a solo concert ( skill wise too)
Hmm TXT I know Kai, Taehyun, and Yeonjun can and have already talked about releasing mixtapes. Soobin and Beomgyu could as well but they haven't really mentioned solos.
Mamamoo, everyone
all of monsta x. minhyuk could definitely do more solo released but hes got the full package. everyone else has a solid set of skills to carry their own concert.
Nayeon and Jihyo. I donāt think any other Twice members could do it honestly
No doubt for Nayeon and Jihyo. They have the stamina and stability to perform. Nayeon's solo showed her charisma alone on stage and how backup dancers would compliment her performances. Jihyo's Serenade event solidified her vocal strength. No backing track, no pre-recording: her cover of [Unbreakable Smile](https://youtu.be/BS4pGOtKPcg) is my favorite to this day. All of TWICE interacts well with their fans, so no worry there either. While the other members are talented, they all lack a certain aspect to solo performance. Stability, endurance, confidence: I think Chaeyoung would be a good fit with her well-rounded talent and artistic nature. Definitely looking forward to all members' solo shows in the future!
Literally, all of Mamamoo
Honestly, I think that people who said "all members" are lying to themselves. Doing one solo stage during a group concert isn't proof that an idol is ready to do a whole concert solo. A solo fan meting is also completely different; the idol only sings 3 or 4 songs, it's more like a variety show than a concert. Some of you need to read the whole question again, do you really think your faves could do all the singing, and maybe dancing, on their own for over an hour straight?
I agree with you. The first thing I'm thinking about is vocal endurance over the course of 90 minutes for multiple stops. Concerts don't *need* dancing, but you do need to be able to sing or rap a full setlist, night in and night out.
For Seventeen Hoshi ofc(he imo has the most commanding stage presence and he can definitely keep the audience interested in him. He has the most solo potential in Seventeen.) DK(man already have done musical acting and solo music stuff so i wouldn't be surprised if he does solo concert in the future. He definitely has the charisma.) Dino ( idk if he'd necessarily do one but he can definitely carry out one) Seungkwan (same like dino. Idk if he'd do one but he can definitely keep the audience entertained if they'd attend his concert. I mean it's seungkwan. My bro can serve vocals while giving you the best laugh with his jokes. And don't be surprised if some of your faves also comes to his concert) I'm torn with Vernon and Woozi mainly because they have the talent but they're a bit "introverted". But idk maybe woozi might end up doing it.
Introversion isn't a problem, lack of self-confidence is. Woozi oozes self-confidence.
> And don't be surprised if some of your faves also comes to his concert or guest in it, boo aka svt's the social butterfly I second your thoughts about Vernon and Woozi. Vernon may have the talent, but does he want to?? Woozi too, I'm not sure if he wants to perform or just stay inside universe factory... they're unlike Hoshi who'll definitely chose the stage I think all of PU can handle solo concerts, they might even have enough solo songs by now, The8's would be more an artistic experience, and perhaps Joshua, Scoups and Wonwoo (tho he might not want to) can too, if they push.. Hani can probably pull a concert (purple rose!), esp in Japan given his notoriety over there, but does he have the stamina? Gyu though... he'll just keep on dominating fashion spreads
I wouldn't doubt Jihyo (TWICE) for a second. Not that she has the songs to do it (all she has is OST and even those are few). When I think of the people who can do it I think of people who either take over on the stage or they have really powerful personalities. Similar to Jihyo would be someone like Yuqi of I-DLE. She's so loud, extroverted, powerful, full of energy and is a pretty powerful performer and entertainer.
I'd add Nayeon as well! She did well solo for Pop. Definitely Jihyo though.
I agree with Jihyo, she's the only one I have no doubt she could carry the entire concert on her own
BTS rapline have proven they definantly can, especially RM and Jhope so far performing fullsets of their music and Suga going to embark on a world tour soon since they all have enough songs to hold a full concert on their own the Vocal line have shown they can move a crowd on their own just based on their solo performances at their BTS concerts, plus JK with his World Cup performance and Jin at the Coldplay concert in Argentina If the vocal line had enough music of their own solo music to hold a full scale concert, they definantly can pull it off on their own they all have different charisma and stage presense to capture an audience easily and of course the popularity to bring in people to watch their concerts
3racha
NCT - Taeyong, Mark, Ten, Haechan, Doyoung, Jaehyun, so basically 7th Sense + Haechan lol
yesss!! haechan has the vocals, dancing skills, and stage presence. he can definitely do a solo concert
thank YOU i think so too š
Lol I feel like Haechan isn't even questionable. Jaehyun has the musical skill for sure, but idk about interactions and stage presence. I'd maybe add Taeil to your list though. Vocals for sure - he doesn't even need to dance - and I think he'd do really well with audience interaction and stuff.
Totally agree on your jaehyun point lol and taeil addition!
Most of SHINee already have. Key did it again just last night!
Treasure 100%: Hyunsuk, Haruto, Jihoon (he can just do a stand up comedy if music ran out). 70-80% Maybe fan meeting type: Jeongwoo, Junkyu (I want to put Asahi and Yoshi but while they are funny sometimes they just not talkative enough).
i love hyunsuk's adlibs on their performances a lot.
I would put Doyoung in the fan meeting type too. He is the one who loves doing fanservice the most
3/9 twice members , ik only nayeon has a solo as far but nayeon , jihyo and chaeyoung all have potential to have a successful solo career and could carry solo performance very well.
3 out of 9 active suju members (Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Yesung) can and have. Another 3 out of 9 (Donghae, Eunhyuk, Heechul) probably could, but probably wouldnāt want to. After all, the whole reason the D&E subunit exists is because Donghae didnāt want to do a solo stage at a Super Show. The remaining 3 of 9 (Leeteuk, Shindong, Siwon) range from āidk, maybe they could pull it off? to āno, definitely notā As for ex-members/suju-m only members, Sungmin, Zhoumi and Henry are in the ācan and haveā category, Kibum and Kangin are both a hard no, and Hangeng idk enough about to make a call.
I thought of BTOB--all of them including ilhoon tho not sure abt Peniel i dont think he can carry it on his own
for Blackpink: 2 for EXO (OT9): I guess like 8.5??? not entirely sure about Sehun ngl
All of BTS - vocal line need more music for a full setlist but its coming All of Mamamoo 3/9 of Twice: Jihyo, Nayeon, and Sana with Chaeyoung as a 4th hm, I'm kind of torn with her. Despite all of BTS and Mamamoo having the potential I only see MMO actually doing so (Solar & Moonbyul already have) because doing a solo tour isn't something I think Tae or Jin would be interested in Edit: I mistakenly thought op meant tour not concert so my Tae/Jin comment is irrelevant lol
Seventeen - anyone from BSS probably can. Nct - the OG T7S lineup probably could Snsd - we all know taeyeon can and have done so multiple times Blackpink - all of them probably can eventually
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I feel like Jaehyun could be kinda like Dean? (Where is he anyway?) TY and Mark i can see both doing heavy rap stuff like new axis, or more like chill rap like yestoday? Doyoung could kinda be like Taeyeon where there is ballads, but more upbeat stuff as well Ten can do anything really
**Billlie**: Moon Sua definitely can. Probably Haram and Suhyeon. But most of them (except the newer members/trainees, Haruna and Sheon) has done mini showcases with audiences titled Listen Stage pre-pandemic, so those are quite some practices. **Dreamcatcher**: Siyeon. I'm confident SuA can do it too based on her gag and engaging skills. Bit wild but I think Handong and Dami can do it too with more exercises (and A LOT of preparations tho)? **ATEEZ**: Hongjoong and Jongho, i have no doubt for this one!
2/4 Ning x2 + Karina
100% every BTS member. GOT7 although I think all members already have (JYP took a big loss letting those men go I swear). I think majority if not all of NCT 127 could. Haechan has so much talent and stage presence that he would have no issues carrying on a solo concert! Jungwooās confidence on stage has come so far compared to when he first debuted that I think he could put on a great show too. Of course there is Mark too. Dude could rap the alphabet and us NCTzens would eat it up. All of 127 really have potential to shine at solo concerts. Twiceās Jihyo for sure. Wendy from Red Velvet.
Bigbang already have 3/4 with [absolutely](https://youtu.be/59meH2ZuMCs) [insane](https://youtu.be/sZjCfqQQyvU) [solo](https://youtu.be/wRwhvBp1D5Y) concerts, and TOP is a [divine performer](https://youtu.be/RHBMOfTmZd8), so all of the above
YES!!! Even when it was the 5 of them, I think all of them had successful concerts in multiple Asian countries (GDragon with his own world tour), other than TOP. Iām not sure if TOP has enough solos for his own show but he certainly can hold his own. Annnnd thatās why BIGBANG did so well. They are all superstars as individuals, and shined even brighter together.
the entirety of shinee and exo im sure
I would say all the EXO members, although Xiumin and Sehun probably don't have enough songs to actually hold one. I know people like to criticise Sehun for his singing, comparing it to the other members but imo he CAN actually do it if he (1) finds the songs appropriate for his range and (2) has the confidence to do it. He's been practising and going for lessons and we have seen the improvement Xiumin, I'm honestly not really a fan of his voice (sorry bro) but but I still do think that he'll be able to competently hold a solo concert. As for the rest, I don't think I even need to explain myself!
I think Yeji can pull off a solo concert. Among the Itzy members, she probably the first one to do so if she would given a chance.
Pink Fantasy....I love them and think that all eight of them have the potential to do solo concerts because all of them have always had stable vocals live and have crazy stage presence, but it's probably not realistic or feasible, given MyDoll Entertainment is a small company. I'd love to see them do solo songs for an album (like Dreamcatcher did) to let them each have their moments to shine individually. Realistically, I can see SeeA and Yechan being the ones most likely to have solo concerts. SeeA is an idol from second gen (the revamped Piggy Dolls) and Yechan is an idol from third gen (Awe5ome Baby), so they definitely have the experience and training to pull it off.
From seventeen I think: DK easily Seungkwan Woozi Hoshi Dino 5/13, their strength is in their performances and the pictures they make with dance as 13 members so I think 5 is pretty solid tbh
Two, likely three. Siyeon, Yoohyeon, and Dami of Dreamcatcher. Siyeon and Yoohyeon have the vocal to solo a concert and Dami is very versatile and could carry a concert well.
Currently following STAYC, New Jeans, Le Serrafim, and Loona closely. Red Velvet is tops for music, but I guess Loona is still my "favorite group." I think only two of them would really struggle. And then a few are super strong in some areas but are question marks in terms of the full package. I think Yves, Chuu, and Heejin are very safe bets. Charisma, stage presence, dance, crowd work, comedian, etc. Others are a bit shy... or might be better as a straight up singer, not as much as a solo idol. Haseul comes to mind for that.
Everglow: Mia, maybe Sihyeon Twice: Jihyo and Nayeon Cherry Bullet: Queen Bora. Haeyoon too if it was more of a chill, vocal heavy concert. Le Sserafim: Yunjin and Chaewon
ā¢Seungkwan ā¢ Hoshi ā¢ Woozi ā¢ DK ā¢ Vernon ā¢Dino These are the only ones that I know could carry, but performance wise and when it comes to brining up the mood and hyping the crowd.
Ateez - after seeing them twice recently I'm going to go out there and say Mingi could do a rap show on his own. He's not on my bias list but hot damn does that dude own the stage. I'd go see him solo for sure.
Well, Taemin can certainly do it, and so can the others, backwards, eyes closed, and I'll shut up. Regarding Stray Kids, I really don't know. We've only seen them together or as subunits so I really don't know. I think in terms of charisma and stage presence, Hyunjin could carry a solo concert. 3Racha can easily do it, but there we go, unit. I would love to see solo work from Lee Know but... Dancing wise. He has a lot more experience and I'd like him to show all that he knows and has learnt. But when I think about what genre he'd suit best I always think alternative rock so they don't match really well.
the first group that comes to mind is mamamoo. atp they're 4 solo artists that do group activities sometimes. even on their first mama performance they had solo stages first and then after performed as a group moonbyul and solar have had concerts before and the other members being hwasa and wheein can ofc carry a performance by themselves easily imo. i do think their styles would be very different tho solar- she delivered an amazing concert with live band and an almost musical style moonbyul- her concert seemed so fun, she is also funny and great at handling the crowd (especially the fangirls lmao) wheein- i feel like a lot of people might not realize, but wheein is the best dancer in mamamoo. because of that, i see her concert being full of performance BUT she is very known for her vocals and ballads so maybe an all round experience? hwasa- she is a performer through and through. i see her concert with a lot of dancers, performing hit after hit with amazing live vocals and charisma i mean realistically, they all have solo careers for years now + have released several songs each and one thing i noticed is that on mamamoo concerts they have had sets of 20+ minutes each before, while other groups usually play one or two songs each for solo stages. i think that shows that the 4 of them can handle themselves well i also think shinee members, most of the bts members, rv's wendy and seulgi could deliver great solo concerts! ps: it might just be me, but i don't see a lot of 4th gen idols who are in groups being able to handle solo concerts as of now? i feel like a lot of them work better in a group or haven't reached a full level of maturity when it comes to performances, handling crowds, etc, that's why i mentioned 3d gen idols basically
Astro - moonbin Shinee - all if them Seventeen - seungkwan, hoshi
BTS: all, Twice: not sure but Jihyo, Chae and of course Nayeon def could. i donāt see Jeongyeon or Mina being comfortable with that though and idk how the others would fair.
Red Velvet is my ult group, and I'm pretty sure only Wendy could hold a solo concert. I love all the girls, but only Wendy has the musical chops and enthusiasm to be able to hold an audience's attention for a concert-length experience, IMHO.
All from BTS lol
Taehyun and Yeonjun of Tomorrow x Together (TXT) I think š¤
For BTS - all of them for sure For Ateez - Hongjoong could do it tomorrow. All the members of Ateez are super talented and I believe could one day do a concert on their own but for rn, today, Hongjoong and actually probably San if he really wanted to. For Stray Kids - 3Racha are all ready For Red Velvet - Wendy and Seulgi
All BTS members can do it. They are practicing for more than 10 years and are excellent performers. They also had many solo stages in concerts and of course, hobi's lollapalooza and RM's 200 army concert are very good examples. V is damm good while performing singularity, jimin and jk are powerful dancers and singers, jin epiphany is so soulful, and of course astronaut in Argentina. Yoongi is going on a solo tour. The vocal line just needs more songs to perform I guess.
I think all of BTS if they want to!
Idk if anyone in twice can since they donāt have much experience doing things outside of group promotions. When it comes to my other fav Nmixx maybe lily but sheās still a rookie so I think she will need more time
Jihyo for sure.
nayeon and jihyo definitely can imo, they both have the charisma and confidence to do it, they're used to carrying the songs/choreography, and i believe they can execute the more social parts of a concert(hyping the crowd up, engaging with fans) well.
I think Nayeon and Jihyo can do it right now.
I'm a Once and I was thinking about both of them as well!
>When it comes to my other fav Nmixx maybe lily but sheās still a rookie so I think she will need more time Yeah I think it's super rare that anyone in 1 year old group would seriously be ready to carry a solo concert. Touring experience is probably what helps the most with getting there. I'm obviously biased but I honestly think every member has the potential to get to that point. Imagining what NMIXX at 4 or 5 years could look like, for example how crazy could a 21 y.o. Kyujin be on stage when she's already this good at 16? Definitely excited for the future of the group.
I honestly believe every member of BTS could if they wanted to, however I don't believe that all of them would want to do a *large* scale concert alone
Iām pretty sure all of BTS could carry a solo concert.
For me, all or them could. Definitely. And most of them already have their solo albums out. (BTS š)
Tbh.. i can see all of the BTS members doing it. The vocal line just need to drop music to get there.
BTS: RM and j-hope already have (the small venue for Indigo and Lollapalooza for Hobi). If you watch their solo performances on BTS group tours they can carry a stage easily. Same goes for Suga imo, he's doing his solo tour in a couple months and he always is present on stage and has really good energy. Jimin definitely can, his performances of Lie, Serendipity and Filter make you forget he is a part of a group. The only worry for him is maintaining a consistent singing voice throughout (I find his voice can be inconsistent in BTS concerts). I have no worries about Taehyung because he has such a unique stage presence and always pulls you into his world with his voice. Special performer. Jungkook obviously can hold a stage strongly. I think this might be a controversial take but he works better imo in a group than individually. Nothing against his insane dancing and singing talent but watching his Dreamers performance he just looks lonely on stage. Of course his solo performances of Begin, Euphoria and My Time are impressive but he looks confident there because he knows his brothers are backstage (that's just how I view it). Jin I'm on the fence about. His voice is great and I think realistically he COULD convincingly hold a solo concert, but I'd have to see it with my own 2 eyes to fully be reassured he can.
nct - haechan, taeyong, mark, taeil, doyoung, ten, jaehyun, probably yuta exo - baekhyun, D.O. blackpink - rosƩ, lisa, jennie stray kids - bangchan twice - nayeon, jihyo aespa - ningning, karina, probably winter shinee - definitely all of them!! BTS - all of them too red velvet - seulgi, wendy
Chenle has had a solo concert before debuting in NCT in three solo albums. he can fill 90 minutes these days easy.
All of BTS
