STAYC overwhelmed global fans once again with the confidence built during their Asia tour and their more mature stage manner.
STAYC (Sumin, Sieun, Aisa, Se Eun, Yoon, Jae Yi) clearly showcased their presence as global performance icons on the stage of the 2025 TMElive International Music Awards (TIMA), held on the 22nd at the Galaxy Arena in Macau.
This awards ceremony was a global music festival organized by Tencent Music Entertainment Group, where top artists from around the world gathered to engage in musical exchanges that transcended languages and genres.
On this day, STAYC kicked off with 'Bubble' and 'Poppy', delivering a refreshing summer mood and vibrant energy. They received a warm welcome from local fans by greeting them in Chinese.
'Stereotype,' performed on the protruding stage, overwhelmed the venue with its dynamic band sound and bold, witty performance. The highlight of the day was the stage of 'Teddy Bear,' prepared in Chinese for local fans. The resonance of the familiar melody in the local language became a special gift, and STAYC's bright and healthy energy was conveyed with even greater authenticity.
In the latter part of the performance, STAYC filled the venue with a massive sing-along to their signature number 'ASAP,' and brought refreshing exhilaration by performing their recently released song 'I WANT IT.'
Going beyond a simple listing of hit songs, STAYC delivered diverse spectacles with varied moods and elaborate presentations for each song. They also completed the scene as a vibrant summer festival by communicating interactively with the audience through relaxed stage manners and free talk.
Following their appearance at 'TIMA,' STAYC naturally continues their journey with the completion of the Asia tour and an expansion into a North American tour in October. Expectations are high for how STAYC's global journey, underpinned by healthy confidence, bold performances, and interaction with fans, will expand into new moods in the future.
Meanwhile, having strengthened their confidence on the global stage through the 'TIMA' stage, STAYC will begin their North American tour starting in Seattle in October.
