On Tuesday, April 22, the six members of JUST B wrapped up the U.S. leg of their 2025 JUST B WORLD TOUR [JUST ODD] with a final performance at the Vermont Hollywood in Los Angeles, CA. Returning to the same venue they played at on their 2024 Just Be With You tour, members Geonu, Bain, Jimin, Siwoo, DY, and Sangwoo turned what could’ve been a standard finale U.S. show into a monumental night for both their fans (called ONLY B) and for themselves.
The tour supported JUST B’s latest EP, JUST ODD — a four-track album self-directed by the group, with Geonu, DY, and Sangwoo contributing to songwriting and production. Together, JUST B created a cohesive album laced with experimental sounds rooted in industrial and hyperpop influences unheard of in K-Pop. The release set the tone for their world tour, bringing their high energy and dynamic performances to the stage.
Silhouetted against stark white backlight, the members took the stage with “KiD,” a bold entrance centered around the unfiltered hook: “Fxxk you, I’m just a KiD.” JUST B then launched into the explosive, “DOOM x3,” followed by the crowd favorite, “MEDUSA,” sending ONLY Bs into a frenzy of cheers and waving lightsticks. Throughout the night, JUST B continued to feed off the crowd’s energy, performing like a group with nothing to prove and everything to give.
After the opening set, JUST B officially welcomed ONLY Bs and acknowledged those who had attended last year’s show at the same venue. “Since last year, we’ve been looking forward to this moment for so long. We’re so glad to be back here in L.A.,” said Geonu, who also dubbed the City of Angels as his second hometown.
ONLY Bs continued to rock with JUST B throughout the show. They sang along to thrilling anthems such as “DAMAGE,” “GET AWAY,” and “Make It New” from their earlier releases, and vibed and grooved along to experimental tracks like “BULLET” and the hyperpop standout, “CHEST” from JUST ODD.
The energy in the venue was electric, especially during the wild dance jam session. As DY, Jimin, and Sangwoo left to prepare for the next stages, Geonu, Siwoo, and Bain invited a few fans onstage to show off their freestyle dance moves to “CHEST.” The members encouraged everyone not to be shy and to have fun with it, and L.A. ONLY Bs certainly took that to heart. The chosen fans fully embraced their “main character energy”—twirling, twerking, and strutting down the mini catwalk to nonstop cheers from both the crowd and the members. Geonu happily declared, “This was the most chaotic dance jam [of our entire] tour!”
Unlike the last tour where special solo stages alternated among tour stops, this tour ensured all six members had space to showcase their talents on the same stage. DY, who wowed fans last year with his modern/contemporary dance routine, took the stage first. This time he showcased another skillset, emerging with a blue electric guitar to perform his self-written, unreleased tracks, “Because I Was Born Human” and “Could You Appear in My Dream?”— both intimate and emotionally raw. The atmosphere flipped from a soft rock concert to a rave as Sangwoo stormed the stage next with his hyperpop-inspired, self-composed track, “ilub/gaia.” The lights pulsed along to the intense track as he sprinted around the stage, jumping and hyping up the audience nonstop from start to finish.
Jimin dialed back the high energy with his heartwarming solo stage. He emerged dressed in a suit, bowtie, and a flip book in hand, a stark contrast from his sensual solo stage at last year’s tour.. Wordlessly, he flipped through the large flipbook that contained handwritten love notes such as “No matter where we go or what challenges we face, our love will always keep us together” and “Let’s cherish every moment, laugh a little louder, and hold each other a little closer.” After charming the audience with his sweet love notes, Jimin serenaded them with his sweet cover of Ryan Mack’s “Forever and Always.”
Geonu was next, his designated spot on stage illuminated by a single spotlight. He performed “Ray,” a sentimental original piece he wrote a month prior, inspired by his mother and grandmother. He hoped his song would remind everyone of their own loved ones. Siwoo followed with a cover of Keshi’s “Beside You,” challenging the audience to sing louder than any other stop on the tour. To no one’s surprise, L.A. ONLY Bs rose to the occasion and passionately sang the heartfelt lyrics word for word alongside him.
Deviating from their tour setlist, Geonu reappeared onstage once again to give a quick shoutout to the American rock band Beauty School Dropout, who were in attendance and watching from the back of the crowd. In honor of the special guests, Geonu performed a short a cappella cover of their song, “Assassin,” before transitioning into a second surprise of the night – a duet performance with Sangwoo. Together, the duo commanded the stage with a lively rendition of Machine Gun Kelly, YUNGBLUD, and Travis Barker’s“I Think I’m Okay.”
Then, it was Bain’s turn. His solo stage last year was a crowd favorite, so it was unsurprising to no one when the room erupted in ear-piercing screams the moment he stepped onstage. Sporting a fur coat, sunglasses, and a feathery fan, he stole the spotlight with a diva medley of Britney Spears’ “Toxic,” Pussy Cat Dolls’ “Buttons,” and Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” He owned every beat and danced with precision, drama, and sass. Before jumping into the final song, Bain paused and proudly confessed to the crowd:
“I’m proud to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community – as a gay person. And my queen Lady Gaga showed me that being different is beautiful. To anyone out there who’s part of the LGBTQ+ community, or still figuring it out — this is for you. You are seen, you are loved, and you were – born this way.”
– Bain of JUST B
The crowd erupted in cheers and tears as Bain grabbed a fan’s pride flag and closed his set with “Born This Way,” fully basking in the moment as he celebrated onstage. While Bain stepped offstage to change, the rest of the members, who were beaming with pride from backstage during Bain’s performance, returned to the stage and expressed their full support. “This is a day which is really important for us [and] for every single one of you,” Geonu began. “I dearly sincerely hope the best and happiness and love for every single one of you … Thank you so much for being together with us.” The room erupted in warm cheers that only grew in volume once Bain returned and received endearing hugs from his members. The overall public reception since the show has been overwhelmingly positive, with many hoping that this will spark a shift toward a more inclusive and progressive future in the industry.
Together, JUST B regrouped for a group cover of 5 Seconds of Summer’s “She Looks So Perfect,” where fans, volunteers, and staff cut loose, forming circles and singing the lyrics at the top of their lungs. The energy then softened, and fans turned on their phones’ flashlights as JUST B eased into two of their most heartfelt ballads, “Han Geol Eum Man” and “Hoodie.” Before “Han Geol Eum Man,” Jimin shared his hope that the song—and this moment—would bring comfort to fans during difficult times. “Hoodie” was also especially moving, as the lyrics reflected JUST B’s own hardships they faced while chasing after their dreams. The performances showed the group’s vulnerability, revealing that everyone faces their own struggles, and that music can be a source of healing and strength.
With emotions still lingering in the air, JUST B brought the energy back up for the final stretch. “Daddy’s Girl,” a pop-punk favorite from their previous tour, had the entire crowd singing the cheeky English lyrics at the top of their lungs before closing out with the anthemic “DOMINO.”
Returning moments later dressed in customized L.A. Dodgers jerseys made by a fan, JUST B stormed onto the stage and kicked off their encore stage back-to-back performances of “RE=LOAD,” “Youth,” “Paper Plane,” and an encore performance of “CHEST.” The energy peaked as the members sang, took selfies, and splashed fans with enough water that could almost rival Waterbomb festivals. Sangwoo and Geonu even jumped off the stage and scattered throughout the venue to party right alongside ONLY Bs. The night could have ended there, but instead, the members gave what ONLY Bs asked for and closed out the night with a final, encore performance of “Make it New.”
The JUST ODD concert in L.A. marked the beginning of a bold new chapter for JUST B. As they wrap up their overseas schedules, one thing stands clear: ONLY Bs will always stand by JUST B.
