TRENDZ has brought the worldwide phenomenon of Kpop across to the world to the Emerald Isle
On Friday March 6th, TRENDZ performed at the CityNorth Hotel in Stamullen, Meath, Ireland dubbed as their “Dublin” stop, which was the last stop of the first leg of their 2026 TRENDZ [ON THE MOVE] TOUR IN EUROPE.
TRENDZ is a 7-member boy group under Global H Media, They debuted on January 5, 2022, with their first mini album, BLUE SET CHAPTER 1. [TRACKS]
One of the highlights of the night was their new digital single “Kart Racer”, which was produced and written by members EUNIL, ra.L, & HANKOOK and choreographed by member YECHAN.
We were given the opportunity to interview the members. Sadly, due to time constraints, we couldn’t do a sit-down interview, but thanks to the amazing staff at Global H Media, we sent some questions to TRENDZ and our written interview is below.
What is it like to meet FRIENDZ around the world?
[Havit]
We’ve visited quite a few countries for performances, but every time we travel to a new place, it still feels exciting and new. It’s always amazing and something I’m very grateful for to know that there are fans who support and love us even in places so far away. Since we don’t get to meet them often, they send us incredibly big cheers, and that support gives us strength even during our busy schedules.
What song is on repeat on your playlist?
[Yechan]
Nct dream – Broken melodies
[Eunil]
WOODZ – CINEMA
What concept do you want to try?
[Eunil]
TRENDZ has been trying many different concepts rather than staying with just one. However, we haven’t fully tried a more mature and sexier concept yet, so I’d like to challenge ourselves with that. Among our recent releases, I think “Crime” showed a bit of that sexy vibe, and since many fans liked it, I thought it would be great if we could show an even more upgraded version of that concept.
What Western artist is your ultimate bias?
[ra.L]
Tyler, the Creator: His performances on stage, his ability to design and plan his stages, and his producing skills give a unique feeling that’s different from other artists, which is why he became my role model. I also want to grow into a one-of-a-kind artist like Tyler.
What Current Kpop Dance Challenge would you love to do?
[Yoonwoo]
“Big Girls Don’t Cry” by ENHYPEN: It’s a song I’ve been listening to a lot these days, so if I get the chance, I’d love to try the challenge.
For new FRIENDZ, what songs do you recommend?
[Leon]
I recommend “Crime.” It’s a song where TRENDZ showed a strong and slightly sexy concept after a while, and the choreography turned out really well, so I think it’s especially fun to watch the performance.
Anything else you want to say to FRIENDZ?
[Yechan]
The passion of FRIENDZ really stayed in my memory, so I want to visit Ireland again! If we get the chance to go back, please enjoy the show with us again just like this time.
[Hankook]
Thank you for supporting us no matter where we are. Being able to perform in places far away from Korea, and still give energetic performances even after long flights and journeys, is all possible because of your love. Please continue to support TRENDZ in the future as well.
The second leg of the 2026 TRENDZ [ON THE MOVE] TOUR IN EUROPE will start on April 6th in Lugano, Czechia.
