As soon as he appeared, he got the crowd grooving to the first song “Rush Hour,” and then greeted everyone with “Bangkok!” before continuing with “Hey baby” and “Ibiza,” complete with Thai greetings, “สวัสดีครับ ผม CRUSH นะครับ วันนี้ผมดีใจที่ได้เจอแฟนๆ ทุกคนมากนะครับ ยินดีที่ได้เจอทุกคน วันนี้ก็ฝากตัวด้วยนะครับ น่ารักจังตัวเล็กๆ” (“Hello, I am CRUSH. I am so happy to see all of you. It’s nice to meet everyone. Today, I’m here with you, a little cutie”).
After a great start, CRUSH continued to captivate the fans with his soulful and laid-back songs like “2411,” “NAPPA,” and “Sometimes.” before greeting the Thai fans in his own amusing style. He said, “Welcome everyone to the 2023 CRUSH ASIA TOUR. Today is a significant day for me, as it marks my first Asian tour in 5 years since 2018. I’m thrilled to meet all of you again in Bangkok after 5 years. I performed six songs just now. How was it? Did you have fun? There are so many of us here today. Thank you very much once again. I want to have fun with all of you continuously, just like the name of this event. Are you all ready to have fun together? Everyone is so wonderful. Thank you!”.
Although he chatted and playfully interacted, the atmosphere remained genuinely enjoyable, with the fans fully engaged and energized. CRUSH, fueled by this endless support, presented a set of heartfelt songs for everyone to enjoy. The live performance was filled with soulful singing that brought immense joy to the fans’ ears.

The fans enthusiastically danced along with CRUSH throughout the entire concert, making him impressed at the fantastic energy of his passionate fans. As the concert reached its final segment, CRUSH didn’t forget to request that everyone stand up, jump, and dance together as he performed a full-packed playlist featuring his hit songs like “Stevie wonderlust,” “OHIO,” “Hug me,” “SKIP,” and “Oasis,” which were brimming with CRUSH’s unique essence.
