Exclusive Review: 2024 ONEUS 2nd WORLD TOUR "La Dolce Vita" In Dallas

April 3rd, 2024, a beautiful day to see some similar faces. Dallas TO MOON, new and old, have been long awaiting this day since the group announced they were going on a second world tour back on September 13th, 2023. Fans flooded into the venue and found their seats, eagerly awaiting ONEUS to take the stage. With no delay, they took the stage and to paraphrase from the English translation of 'Baila Conmigo', TO MOON danced with ONEUS.

ONEUS debuted under RBW Entertainment on January 9th, 2019 with the hit song 'Valkyrie'. They continued with 'Twilight', 'LIT', 'A Song Written Easily', 'TO BE OR NOT TO BE', 'No diggity', 'BLACK MIRROR', 'Shut Up 받고 Crazy Hot!', 'LUNA', 'Bring it on', 'Same Scent' and the most recent, 'Baila Conmigo'. LeeDo, KeonHee, SeoHo, HwanWoong, and Xion have been working hard competing on "Road to Kingdom" and various other shows, doing multiple tours, and with comebacks in the past five years; and their hard work is paying off.

They performed all of the title tracks (except 'TO BE OR NOT TO BE') and also did fan favorites like 'COME BACK HOME', 'Unforgettable', 'Life is Beautiful', and 'Simulation'. LeeDo made SeoHo laugh at the end of 'Halley’s Comet', causing him to crack. During the next comment, SeoHo did the high note like he wanted to, displaying his amazing live vocals. They also gave us a multiple-chapter VCR series that added a bunch of stories to the 'Baila Conmigo' video. I was almost disappointed when it was over as it made me crave more lore. They ended the night running up and down the aisles of the venue during 'Shut Up 받고 Crazy Hot!', giving almost every person in the venue a stage-side seat. I felt bad for their tour managers following each member. They definitely got their cardio in on this show.

I’ve had the great fortune to be allowed to take pictures of ONEUS all three times they’ve been in Dallas (The 2023 show was in Fort Worth, please don’t take this away from me). As impressed as I was the first time I saw them, they have grown and improved upon themselves every time I’ve seen them.

It’s been my immense pleasure to be able to see them grow from 2019 to 2022 to 2024. From Granada Theater with an advertised 1,000 capacity (I feel like it’s much smaller than that), to South Side Music Hall that fits 1,500, to finally Music Hall in Fair Park that seats 3,240. To quote my first article about them back in 2019, “ONEUS is a force to be reckoned with and will be skyrocketing within the K-Pop world in no time.” I’m so glad they’re getting the recognition that they deserve and I hope more is to come. They are one of the best in the business and have what it takes to take on giants.
