The group CLOSE YOUR EYES heated up the Taipei stage.

CLOSE YOUR EYES took the stage at 'ACON 2026,' held at NTSU Arena in Taipei on the 25th, delivering a spectacular performance.

Taking the opening slot for the show, CLOSE YOUR EYES kicked off with 'X' and 'POSE,' drawing an enthusiastic response from the audience with their tight synchronized choreography. The members then greeted the crowd in the local language, saying, "We prepared this stage with energy and passion to match the main theme of youth," as they connected with fans.

That day, CLOSE YOUR EYES further amplified the excitement in the venue by presenting a reinterpretation of EXO's 'Overdose' in their own unique color, followed by back-to-back performances of 'CHIC' and 'SOB.'

Special collaboration stages followed as well. Members Jang Yeojun, Song Seungho, and Seo Kyungbae performed Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous,' and joined NEXZ to complete a 'Thriller' stage, offering a distinctive thrill.

Meanwhile, CLOSE YOUR EYES has been expanding their foothold as a global artist, having been named on Billboard critics' list of the Best K-Pop Stages of the first half of the year for two consecutive years. They have also achieved consistent results both domestically and internationally, winning nine Rookie of the Year awards—the highest record among male idols who debuted in 2025.

'ACON 2026' served as the pre-show event for the 'Asia Artist Awards,' featuring diverse artists under the theme of 'youth' and delivering special stages to fans around the world.
