AB6IX recently completed their Find YOU Fan Concert at Los Angeles’ Vermont Hollywood. MIXTAPE 317 had the chance to briefly catch up with the members, Jeon Woong(전웅), Kim Donghyun(김동현), Park Woojin(박우진), and Lee Daehwi(이대휘) before their performance. Some responses have been edited for clarity.

Now that you are at your final North American stop do you have a moment from the tour that has stood out to you?
Donghyun: When we see the fans are sad at our final moments of the performance it touches our heart. One of our final numbers is 'Shining Stars', and the fans notice that song and will turn on their lights. I think with that performance it really unites the fans and the members, and that is the most memorable.
In promotions for FIND YOU Fan Concert we see you as explorers, what are some new ideas or concepts you would like to explore in upcoming music?
Donghyun: We believe in change, even though it is important to focus on music we want to focus member specifically on what we can bring. We have a lot of ideas but it’s more so carrying out that idea and fulfilling it.
Woong: In terms of music and performance we would like to try new ideas and opportunities.
Daehwi: Individually focus on our talents to provide different types of performances by the individual members.
After visiting eight cities, the group went on to complete their North American leg of Find YOU Fan Concert to a crowd of excited ABNEW, who earlier participated in fan signs and group photos with the members. The idols began the show with 'TRAVELER' and ‘GRAB ME’ off their latest EP THE FUTURE IS OURS: FOUND followed by their hit 'THE ANSWER’ from 2020 album VIVID. Continuing their concept throughout their tour promotions the group appeared onstage in their outfits as explorers, emphasizing their journey.
The members brought some games to play in between songs and entertained the audience with their own rendition of 3,6,9. As Daehwi says “we’re not going to clap because that is so boring”, and the members are then assigned animal noises from fans, Woong a chicken, Daehwi a puppy, Donghyun an elephant and Woojin a cat, the assigned animal sounds becoming humorously more abstract as the game went on.
The members took a break from their intense choreographed numbers and followed with performances of ‘Complicated’ and ‘BLAZE’ giving the group a moment to showcase their talents while continuing to connect with fans.

After exiting the stage and arriving in a more casual appearance AB6IX transitioned into ‘WHISTLE’ and ‘Red Up’, ABNEW's red light sticks pairing well as they danced along with these energetic dance numbers.
As the members chat with ABNEW Woojin mentions that LA is one of his favorite cities to visit but hasn’t been to the beach to swim yet, Daehwi hits him with the hard truth that “it’s really really dirty”. Donghyun mentions he likes the night views and was able to visit the Hollywood sign on his last visit. LA ABNEW hope the city holds many new sights for the group to see and will always welcome them back.
The night winds down with encore numbers ‘MERRY-GO-ROUND’ and ‘CHANCE’. As fans chant for the members to perform ‘CHANCE’ once more, Woojin, a man I wish I had with me as I tried to exit parties, assuredly tells fans “this is really our final song and after that we are leaving the stage.” AB6IX ends the night and the tour with number 'SHINING STARS', the crowd singing along and lighting up the venue with their cell phone lights giving the members a heartfelt farewell.
