On the 12th of March 2026, JUSTB took over the Islington Assembly Hall in London for the electric final stop of the European leg of their ‘AQUA HALO’ tour. It was a momentous evening that marked the end of their journey across the continent, and having interviewed the group several times—including our most recent catch-up to discuss their 5th Mini Album, [SNOW ANGEL]—it was a privilege to witness their artistic evolution brought to life on a grand scale.
The story of JUSTB began on the 30th of June 2021, when they officially debuted under Bluedot Entertainment with their first mini-album, Just Burn. Since that first introduction, the six members—Lim Jimin, Geonu, Bain, Siwoo, DY, and Sangwoo—have consistently transformed, moving from powerful rookies to sophisticated, self-produced artists. Throughout our previous interviews, we explored this transition into the “digital chaos” of hyperpop, and seeing that sonic experiment performed live proved how far they have progressed.
This era was defined by the members’ direct creative control, with Geonu taking the lead as the A&R to steer the album’s sophisticated sound direction while also collaborating with Sangwoo and Lim Jimin to craft the high-energy choreography. Bain’s work as the Visual Director ensured the aesthetic remained as sharp and evocative as the music, while DY’s contributions as a Composer grounded the experimental tracks with his signature melodic sincerity. As the final curtain fell on this European finale in London, it was clear that the “True Heart” message we had discussed at length in our meetings had been delivered with absolute precision and passion.
JUSTB kicked off the night with their latest title track, “TRUE HEART.” It was the perfect opening to set the energy sky-high! Everyone was jumping and dancing from the very first beat. “DOOM X3” was up next, after which the guys took a moment to catch their breath, introduce themselves, and thank London ONLYB for coming to the show.
They followed up with performances of “SNOW ANGEL” and the hit “CHEST,” followed by the bangers “GOING SOUTH” and “SWEATER.” Right off the bat, JUSTB proved how talented they are both vocally and in their choreography. They started the show with incredible energy and—spoiler alert—they maintained it throughout the entire night! The set continued with “BHYT (Baby Hold You Tight)” and “MEDUSA.”
Taking a short break, Geonu and Sangwoo stayed on stage to chat with fans before introducing the solo stages. Geonu had a particularly funny moment when he opened the talk by saying he’d been told English food isn’t that great. As an Italian, I certainly have my own opinions on British food, so that comment made me laugh! It led to Geonu asking the crowd for tips on the best places to get fish and chips.
The solo stages began with Lim Jimin, who delivered a very touching cover of “I Really Like You” (Carly Rae Jepsen), showcasing his amazing vocal range. Siwoo was up next, performing “Forever and Ever and Always” (Ryan Mack) with great stage presence. DY followed immediately with “beside you” (keshi), radiating pure rockstar energy. Speaking of rock energy, Geonu and Sangwoo were up next, first with individual performances and then as a unit. The stage was effectively on fire! To close the solo section, Bain performed a medley of “Abracadabra / Judas / Scheiße.” It was one of the best Lady Gaga tributes I have ever seen; I’m sure Gaga herself would be proud of Bain’s performance.
After a brief interval, JUSTB reunited for “Still I Luv You” and “Daddy’s Girl.” During the latter, DY took to the stage with a guitar, which was a brilliant touch that showcased his musical skills. The main set began to draw to a close with “Too Late,” “Hoodie,” and “Han Geol Eum Man.”
Just before the finale, the guys took a moment to thank the fans again. They gave a touching speech about the importance of never giving up in life. I found it incredibly motivating—the message to give your best no matter what you do was simple, direct, and empowering. Sometimes we all need to hear that to keep moving forward. With that beautiful sentiment, the main show closed with “BULLET.”
Of course, a K-pop show isn’t complete without an encore! They returned with “FREEDOM” and a second look at “SNOW ANGEL,” with everyone in the venue vibing and jumping along. They continued with “BHYT (Baby Hold You Tight)” before officially closing the night with a final high-energy performance of “CHEST.”
The show may be over, but one thing is clear: JUSTB delivered a night that we will remember for a very long time—or at least until they return. Having known them for a while now, I was blown away by their growth. They didn’t just meet expectations; they shattered them.
They will be back on the road very soon in the US, so make sure to catch them there—you won’t be disappointed. For now, I’m already looking forward to their next comeback, which I hope we won’t have to wait too long for!
