Taeyong: TY Track in Cinemas

Absolutely blown away by Taeyong's artistry, dedication & journey! This amazing feature film captures many of the best moments from his phenomenal 2 night first ever live solo concert, and also treats the audience to special, intimate behind the scenes insights & communications.

As a Gen-X fan, I highly recommend others from my generation & beyond who loved and admired artists like David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Prince, and David Bowie - who share with Taeyong a creative core spirit utilized not only to bring forth fabulous musical works, but curate themselves as a work of art & truly bring it all to the stage.

Additionally, the production behind this movie & Taeyong's concerts & honestly all his support staff is amazing! Huge kudos to all involved!!

I attended both days of the concert and viewed numerous fan videos countless times. By now, I knew each stage performance by heart. What I had not seen were the behind-the-scene videos and interviews that documented the journey in creating not only the concert but also Taeyong himself-his reflections on his journey from his rookie days to the 10th year marking the beginning of TY TRACK.

These reflections were probably not completely new to many Tyongfs because Taeyong had previously revealed such thoughts via live streamings, interviews, and even in conversations during fan video calls. But the ways in which the film interweaved the behind-the-scene videos and interviews throughout the concert made it incredibly moving to once again witness TY TRACK and everything it represented. It created a space to confirm, to be reminded of everything I had already known about him, and to reaffirm my belief in him.

K-pop idols hold a very unique position in the global entertainment industry-the ways in which K-pop idols are created, produced, and viewed in Korean culture and society cannot be fully explained or understood through EuroAmerican-centric discourses and theories. One thing that makes them distinct from other celebrity cultures is the idea of authenticity. While we all perform in one way or another in our daily lives, how much you reveal yourself authentically can make you stand apart from all the glitter and glam that packages this industry. It can be incredibly scary and terrifying to reveal who you are, to show yourself. And Taeyong is so brave, so courageous to reveal who he is in such an earnest and honest way. He writes and sings about his hopes and struggles, the dark and the light. And Taeyong has always consistently revealed his true feelings and personalities, being strong yet vulnerable, playful yet serious.

But there is also a sense of confidence amidst this process of revealing who he is so authentically. A kind of confidence that shows how much he is aware of himself and his ambitions and surroundings, and how he knows he can take care of himself. A kind of confidence that shows he is not afraid of what others might think because this is Taeyong 100% and he is not afraid to own it.

I see TY TRACK as a kind of "crossing" rather than a destination-a crossing from baby-faced rookie Taeyong to the artist that he is today, a crossing from a multi-member group leader into a solo singer-songwriter who can easily fill a two-hour setlist purely with the songs he composed (which is no small feat), and a crossing from an ambitious young boy into someone who constantly and fearlessly challenges himself. TY TRACK is a part of his ongoing journey in becoming someone whom I cannot wait to meet after his enlistment, and the best part is he will always take Tyongfs with him on this journey because his music will always be for us and with us.

What a ride! Taeyong's TY Track concert movie captured his visuals, vocals and performance in a spectacular way. This movie makes you feel in awe of his talent and artistry. The way the camera captures his performance, his expressions and amazing live vocals, you would think it's not humanly possible to pull all that off at the same time.

The interviews and backstory is touching and really humanizes this talented, almost unreal artist. The monumental efforts these past 10 years to make it here, to finally have his own solo concert. The message that you the audience too, can make it. Can make your dreams come true.

It is a shame it was so short, not showing the whole 3 hour concert. Which in fact is a genius way to leave the audience hanging and to look forward to his actual world tour in 2026 when he returns from his mandatory military duties.

As an Idol, Taeyong shows us amazing performance s with incredible vocal, dance, and acting skills. As a person, Taeyong also inspires me a lot in terms of not giving up for chasing my dream as he himself has been doing it for 10 years. So, watching TY Track in cinemas is one of the best experiences. The production of the show is mind-blowing, the songs are perfectly amazing, the interviews are very touching, and most importantly Lee Taeyong is the best! I really do enjoy it visually and spiritually and of course , I already booked the movie tickets for this upcoming weekend! See you again in cinemas! Thank you Lee Taeyong.

Honestly words truly can't explain how proud I am of Taeyong and how happy I am for him. Taeyong has grown so much through the years and he is always improving himself and finding new skills to achieve. Seeing how he is achieving dreams after dreams of his, it's truly so inspiring. Taeyong is a genuine and sincere artist and person overall, you really can see it through this movie. You can see how much effort, planning, dedication and determination goes into his works, Thank You Taeyong for sharing this wonderful journey of yours with your fans! You really did such an amazing job with this movie and thank you for being such an amazing inspiration! Thank You too for all the motivational messages you've shared throughout the movie! Mostly Thank You for being true to yourself~ Looking forward to what Taeyong have prepared in the future to come! Tyongfs will be here to cheer you on!!
