Exclusive Review: ONEUS 2025 World Tour “H_OUR, US” In Cleveland

On their 2025 “H_OUR, US” World Tour, ONEUS proved once again that their artistry lies not only in their music but also in their ability to create deeply personal, unforgettable moments with fans. 

This wasn’t the group’s first visit to Ohio. ONEUS last performed in Cleveland in 2022 during their previous world tour, an appearance that was notable for the region’s K-Pop fans. With most Korean acts opting for larger U.S. markets such as Chicago or New York, both visits have provided local fans an opportunity they might otherwise have to travel hours—or even states—to experience. Their decision to return to Cleveland a second time was met with gratitude and excitement, with many attendees expressing how special and lucky they felt to see the group in their own city.

From the start, this wasn’t a typical K-Pop concert. ONEUS specifically opted for seated events this tour, allowing for a more intimate atmosphere and closer fan interactions. That decision paid off in spades—at times, members even left the stage to weave through the crowd, offering high-fives, handshakes, and a sense of closeness rarely experienced in large-scale shows.

Even before entering the venue, the night had its first heartwarming surprise. Xion appeared outside in an inflatable shark costume, delighting early-arriving fans and sparking a flurry of laughter, photos, and excited chatter. It was a playful, unexpected moment that set the tone for the evening: one of joy, connection, and genuine care for their audience.

While SeoHo’s absence due to military enlistment was felt, the rest of the group carried the show with a mix of high energy and emotional resonance. The setlist was a well-balanced journey, blending older favorites with newer releases and even a few unexpected covers. The “cover stage” segment in particular had the audience roaring—most notably with ‘Your Idol’ from Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters,” where the members transformed into the Saja Boys, complete with traditional gat hats and beautifully detailed hanbok.

Other covers brought a Western pop twist to the night, with memorable renditions of Taylor Swift’s ‘Cruel Summer’ and The Kid LAROI’s ‘Stay.’ Each member also shined in their solo moments:

• Xion – ‘Camellia,’ delicate and heartfelt
• LeeDo – ‘Sun Goes Down,’ introspective and smooth
• HwanWoong – ‘RADAR,’ dynamic and fierce
• KeonHee – ‘I Just Want Love,’ soulful and tender

The variety of styles kept the audience engaged from start to finish. Tracks like ‘Black Mirror’ and ‘X’ ignited the venue with their upbeat, dance-worthy energy, while ‘Luna’ and ‘Same Scent’ washed over the crowd with ethereal beauty. The pacing kept the audience engaged, moving fluidly between high-energy choreography and atmospheric ballads. The ebb and flow of the setlist made the show feel like a complete emotional arc—joyful, intimate, and cathartic.

Beyond the music, ONEUS placed a strong emphasis on audience connection. Between verses, the members leaned into the audience for selfies, shared warm smiles, and held hands with fans. This wasn’t just a performance—it was a shared celebration. By the night’s end, both ONEUS and their audience seemed equally moved, as though they had built something precious together in those few hours.

The night closed with the audience singing along in unison, leaving fans visibly moved as the group waved goodbye. For many, it was less a standard tour stop and more a shared memory—a hallmark of ONEUS’s approach to live performance.

In a tour filled with vibrant staging, emotional ballads, and pure fun, ONEUS once again proved they are masters of crafting an experience rather than just a show. “H_OUR, US” was more than a concert—it was a memory, one that will linger long after the final note faded.
