On October 10th, 2025, K-Pop girl group STAYC took the stage at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, TX by storm. The 4th stop of the North American leg of STAYC’s Stay Tuned Tour, Irving brought in a crowd filled with high energy and Texan hospitality.
Composed of members Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, and J, girl group STAYC debuted in 2020 under High Up Entertainment. Over the last 5 years, they have made their name in the K-Pop industry with hits such as So Bad, ASAP, Poppy, and Teddy Bear – many of these choreographies becoming viral TikTok dance challenges.
Their success in the K-Pop industry has garnered STAYC a strong fanbase, SWITH. Texan SWITH were seen filling the Toyota Music Factory donned with their photocards and lightsticks, ready to cheer on the girls as they put on a strong performance. STAYC opened the show with their 2025 release, “BEBE,” and transitioned into fan favorite, “Poppy.” SWITH were seen singing along, dancing the choreography from their seats, and cheering their biases with the energy that is unique to North American concerts. STAYC continued to perform stages of their most popular songs and moving B-Sides, showing off strong live vocal performances with songs such as “Young Luv” and “Meant To Be”, and showcasing members’ individual talents in unit and solo performances as well.
Perhaps the most moving aspect of the Stay Tuned Tour was a video pre-recorded by the members discussing the last 5 years of their career, their teen fresh concept as a group, and how maturing in age has also led to maturing in concept. Following the VHS, the group performed B-side “Twenty” from the Metamorphosis full album. Despite this song being one of my personal favorites from STAYC, you could feel the palpable emotion and storytelling fill the venue as the members sang from the depths of their hearts.
Following this emotional performance, STAYC performed six of their hit title tracks, hyping the crowd and eliciting loud cheers for each song. Hearing STAYC close the main part of the show with their debut song, “SO BAD,” was nostalgic and made the concert feel like a true culmination of their successful career up to this point.
The members performed a sweet encore of “Gummy Bear” and fan song “Stay WITH Me,” coming out into the crowd to show their gratitude to SWITH for supporting them through the years. STAYC proves with an incredible live performance that they are only on an upward trajectory and will continue to be successful throughout their career. Catch them on the remainder of the Stay Tuned Tour in North America through the end of this month.
