The night was filled with incomparable performances of her hit songs like “Ninano”, “Fantabulous”, “Te Amo”, “Flashlight”, “Ing”, “Beautiful Lie”, “Superwoman”, and “Lovely”.

Dubbed as one of the dance queens, she showed her prowess by dancing to a relay of songs such as “Savage”, “On & On”, and her single, “All of You Say”.

As the maknae of her former group 2NE1, her set list for the show also contained songs of her group namely “I Am The Best”, “Happy”, “I Don’t Care”, “Lonely”, and “I Love You”.

Minzy surprised her audience by covering GFriend’s “Me Gustas Tu” and Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” on stage.

“This is going to be a memory for me as well. Thank you for all the support and for having my back all the time. I realized that this is like a second home to me. You guys are my family. I will come back to this stage with new music and a better me,” she said in her closing message.
