On August 21, RBW Entertainment’s boy group ONEUS brought their 2025 ONEUS WORLD TOUR ‘H_OUR, US’ to Los Angeles, CA, with a stunning show at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre. Although ONEUS’s member Seoho was absent due to his military enlistment, the remaining members Xion, Hwanwoong, Keonhee, and Leedo delivered an impressive show featuring a mix of their beloved title tracks, solo performances, and special cover stages.
The entertainment commenced before the main show even began. As fans, known as ToMoons, took their seats, Xion appeared wearing an inflatable shark costume and hyping up their audience to a remix of the viral children’s song, “Baby Shark.” The pre-show number left everyone confused, but pleasantly amused.
The main show kicked off with “X,” ONEUS’ latest track, followed by their official remake of Fin.K.L’s song, “Now.” Backup dancers joined the members onstage as they immediately segued into their ever-catchy “Black Mirror” and their Road to Kingdom < Ace of Ace> rendition of NCT 127’s “Kick It” before finally taking a breather and briefly greeting their adoring L.A. audience.
After their dynamic opening set, ONEUS shifted the mood with a softer set of B-side tracks, starting with the Korean version of their Japanese song, “Time Machine.” The stage adopted a summer theme, complete with beach visuals displayed on LED backdrops. They then engaged the crowd during “BAD,” inviting To Moons to wave their hands and lightsticks high. To Moons, in return, enthusiastically engaged in call-and-response for “We Are Young,” treating it like a festival moment, accentuated by the shower of fireworks on the LED backdrop.
Since their last tour, ONEUS members each released their own solo track, packaged through an album called ONEUS SOLO PROJECT, which they were happy to showcase live on the theatre stage. First up was Xion, who performed his low-fi R&B song, “Camellia.” The performance called for a minimalist setup – Xion seated on a chair with a mic stand, allowing him to convey the song’s message of unspoken love intimately to the audience. Next, Leedo captivated the audience with his hip-hop R&B track, “Sun Goes Down.” It’s anthemic rap verses about finding one’s path, and the accompanying choreography showed off his cool and suave demeanor. Hwanwoong followed suit with a powerful performance about magnetic forbidden attraction with his urban R&B release, “RADAR.” Lastly, Keonhee charmed the crowd with his acoustic number, “I Just Want Love,” a tender, honest gem about the yearning to be loved. The solo stages celebrated each member’s growth and distinct style. After regrouping onstage, Hwangwoong shared that even during their previous tour, they couldn’t have imagined performing solo stages like these, crediting Keonhee for making it all possible.
ONEUS continued to treat ToMoons with special covers of pop culture favorites. Their vocals took center stage with their cover of Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer,” before they jumped off the stage to connect directly with fans during their cover of Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber’s “STAY.”
Following the hyped cover stages, ONEUS leaned into their theatrical side as the atmosphere shifted, and gothic architecture and thunder visuals set the tone for “IKUK.” Hwangwoong was lifted into the air before exploding into an impressive solo dance break. The energy carried into the Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace segment, beginning with “Intro: Who Got The Joker” and “No Diggity.”
The highlight of the night was when ONEUS transformed into stage demons for their rendition of SAJA BOYs’ “Your Idol” from the highly acclaimed film, K-Pop Demon Hunters. Sporting blood red overcoats over black traditional garments with floral embroidery, ONEUS delivered a theatrical performance – seemingly fully in their element. The cultural flair and dynamic performance set the stage perfectly for the next stages.
A signature theme of every ONEUS tour is a segment where they spotlight Korean culture, and this tour was no exception. “LUNA” opened this set with parasols and hand fans woven into the choreography, complementing the traditional instrumentals, pop synths, and floral visuals on the LED screens. The theme carried into a traditional rendition of “Same Scent,” and wrapped up with “Lit,” a high-spirited performance that fused modern musical elements with classical Korean motifs. Their back-to-back performances demanded immense stamina and precision, intensified by choreography and theatrical elements. To Moons were locked in and cheering throughout each song, solidifying ONEUS’ earned title as “stage geniuses.”
For the encore, ONEUS returned to the stage with renewed energy, giving their all for their final performances. They ignited the crowd with a rock-driven rendition of “Valkyrie” and raised the energy further with “Shut Up Crazy Hot!” as the members launched off stage and sprinted up and down the aisles. To close the night, they performed “X,” ending the show exactly where it began. It was a fitting end to a wonderful show that proved why ONEUS are at their best when commanding the stage.
