On Saturday, December 3rd, Korean-American Hip Hop artist Ted Park performed at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia as part of his Mini US Tour. Despite it being the fourth show in a row, Park showed no signs of slowing down and brought an insane amount of energy to the stage. Meanwhile, Atlanta showed up and showed out, and Park loved it: “A-T-L HO!” As if headlining his first tour wasn't enough reason to celebrate, Park also celebrated his birthday with fans and shared many memorable moments while performing some of his biggest hits and previewing many new, unreleased tracks.

Before Park took the stage, DJ K1NETIC started out with a set that got everyone pumped, skillfully fusing dance and hip-hop beats from Korean and Western artists. Parlay Pass opened along with other special guests and all of them kept getting the crowd hyped. The energy was palpably building until Park launched his performance with “Me Love” to an incredibly enthusiastic crowd response. Park’s fans were excited to experience his music live with performances of past hits like “Adore You, Dior You,” a collaboration with Justin Park, “Let It Go” and “Friend of Mine. Park released a new track, “Instant Ramen," three days earlier, and when he performed it at the show, fans were throwing up their hands and singing along like it was a classic. In addition, he introduced the crowd to around 10 unreleased songs, such as “Over and Over” featuring Pass, showing how hard Park has been working on producing new content; he even hinted at the possibility of more releases soon and a full US tour!

There were many memorable moments as Park was having a great time on stage and clearly enjoyed interacting with his fans: taking their phones, letting them sing into the mic, and even jumping in the crowd along with Parlay Pass during their performance of “Asian Gucci Mane.” Additionally it was Park’s birthday that weekend and he said how happy he was to be celebrating his birthday on tour. His fans presented him with signs and cards and sang “Happy Birthday” to him, after which he said, “That’s the best song I’ve ever heard! I love y’all!”. After the show, Park spent time connecting with fans off the stage in an informal meet-and-greet, talking and taking photos with fans who were excited to personally wish him a Happy Birthday.
