[CONCERT RECAP] No One Does It Like Hwasa: Seattle Gets the Full ‘Twits’ Experience

 Alluring, magnetic, and effortlessly commanding—Hwasa’s ‘Twits’ Fancon Tour kickoff in Seattle was a masterclass in star power.

On March 11th, Hwasa launched her highly anticipated HWASA the 1st FANCON TOUR [Twits] with a spellbinding performance at the Moore Theatre in Seattle. From the moment she stepped onto the stage, draped in her signature confidence, the energy in the venue shifted—intoxicating, electric, and undeniably hers.

The concert opened with a remixed version of “HWASA” setting the tone for an evening that was equal parts sultry and powerful. As the beat dropped and the lights bathed her in red and gold, Hwasa commanded the stage with an effortless sensuality that has become her trademark. Every movement, every note, every glance felt intentional, pulling the crowd deeper into her world.

With a setlist blending fan-favorite hits with deep cuts, and not just one but two MAMAMOO song medleys, the night unfolded like a love letter to her artistry. “Snooze” had the entire venue swaying, hypnotized by her velvet-smooth vocals, while “TWIT” turned up the heat, proving once again why Hwasa is in a league of her own. Whether it was a slow-burning R&B track or a hard-hitting dance anthem, she delivered each performance with a raw passion that left the audience breathless.

Seattle fans came ready to match her energy. The Moore Theatre pulsed with an intensity that could only be described as devotion. Fans sang along to every lyric, their voices merging with Hwasa’s in an almost spiritual exchange. The call-and-response moments in “Maria” only amplified the connection, with the crowd’s cheers growing louder as she teased them with lingering gazes and playful smirks.

Her stage presence was hypnotic. Every flick of her wrist, every hair toss, every smirk—deliberate, magnetic. In “Ego,” she prowled the stage like she owned it, delivering a sultry performance that left the audience hanging on her every move. When the tempo slowed for “LMM,” she shifted effortlessly into a more intimate mode, letting her smoky vocals wash over the crowd like a slow burn, filling the space with an almost tangible warmth.

Beyond the music, the concert felt deeply personal. Hwasa has always been an artist who blurs the line between performance and raw expression, and this night was no exception. She knew when to tease, when to push, when to pull back, creating a perfect balance between fiery intensity and moments of heartfelt sincerity. There was an unspoken conversation between her and the audience, a connection that made the night feel exclusive, like a secret shared only among those lucky enough to be there.

As the night peaked with “NA,” an explosive finale that sent the crowd into a frenzy, it was clear—Hwasa is a force of nature. The audience was on their feet, dancing, cheering, completely lost in the moment. Even as the final notes faded, the energy lingered, an aftershock of a performance that was equal parts seductive and electrifying.

The show’s energy was further elevated by a thoughtful inclusion: a sign language interpreter who energetically signed the lyrics throughout the performance. The interpreter moved with the same intensity as Hwasa, ensuring that everyone, regardless of hearing ability, could experience the power of the music. This added layer of inclusivity highlighted Hwasa’s commitment to reaching her entire audience.

The atmosphere also had a distinct burlesque vibe, amplified by dramatic lighting and an LED marquee sign that kicked off the show. The lighting, with its sultry hues and bold effects, created the perfect backdrop for the performance, reflecting the sensuality and confidence Hwasa exudes. It was a visual treat that was as captivating and bold as the artist herself—setting the stage for a performance that was nothing short of mesmerizing.

With the ‘Twits’ fancon tour officially in motion, Hwasa has set the bar impossibly high. The Seattle crowd was lucky to witness the magic firsthand, and if this first night was any indication, the rest of the tour is bound to be nothing short of legendary.
