In January 2025, singer-songwriter KINO will return to the U.S. stage with his solo tour “I think I think too much,” his first stateside concert since touring with PENTAGON on their 2019 Prism world tour.
Tour Information
The “I think I think too much” tour first kicked off in Korea last September, where KINO introduced a new, more personal, concert experience. Unlike previous shows, KINO aimed to showcase his creativity by opening up about his vulnerabilities as an artist. He took on full creative control, rearranging all the songs and collaborating with fans who submitted audio recordings of their happiest memories. He incorporated these recordings into an interlude during the show, emphasizing that fan engagement is an essential part of his musical journey.
The U.S. leg of the tour will span eight cities, beginning in New York on January 19 and concluding in Los Angeles on January 31. With the concert setlists structured in “chapters,” KINO aims to introduce various facets of KINO’s inner thoughts and emotions, offering audiences an intimate look at both KINO the artist, and Kang Hyeonggu, the person. By sharing these emotions, KINO aims to create a show that brings comfort, joy, and a sense of connection to all his fans.
To celebrate the upcoming tour, KINO has released a brand new single, “Everglow,” which has become an instant fan favorite. He first performed the song at a live event in Tokyo in 2023 during KINO’s Housewarming Party. The single’s accompanying music video captures energetic scenes from the “I think I think too much” Seoul show, providing audiences with a sneak peek of what they can expect at his performances.
