How ‘Mistrot 4’ TOP7 Captivated Fans: A Deep Dive into Their Stunning Nationwide Tour

[TV Daily reporter Jin-seok Kim] 'Miss Trot 4' kicked off its nationwide tour with an assured opening.

At 1 p.m. on the 26th, Jangchung Gymnasium in Jung-gu, Seoul hosted a concert featuring TV Chosun's survival show \"Miss Trot 4\" TOP7 (Lee Sona, Heo Chan-mi, Hong Seong-yun, Gil Ryeo-won, Yoon Tae-hwa, Yoon Yun-seo, Yeom Yu-ri). The run spanned April 25–26, with four performances in total — two each day at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.

The program emphasized each member's individual strengths, assembling a setlist of fan-favorite moments. The production also made the show more accessible by displaying song titles and lyrics on the big screen.

The TOP7 opened with dazzling numbers \"Be Entranced\" and \"Hwang Jin-yi,\" capturing the audience with confident, polished performances. Solo showcases followed: Lee Sona performed \"Crying Over Bakdaljae,\" Heo Chan-mi sang \"No, No,\" and Hong Seong-yun delivered \"Full Bloom,\" each offering a measured, emotional turn.

After her set, Lee Sona said, \"It's been six years since my debut. I never imagined performing in front of this many people. I think everyone came tonight full of excitement on such a precious weekend. We'll do our best so you can enjoy the show until the end.\" Heo Chan-mi added, \"My nickname is 'Trot Tumbler.' I began dreaming of being a singer at 13. There were more hard times than good ones, but I kept trying and refused to give up. Now I get to meet you all and hold a concert — I'm truly grateful.\"

Hong Seong-yun reflected, \"Until very recently, I was an ordinary person worrying about what to eat the next day after going to work. I still can't believe I'm standing on a stage this big.\" He said he had cried the day before and became emotional again, then added, \"Everything feels incredible now. It's surprising to have a fan club and people cheering for me. I'm still a wide-eyed rookie, but I'll grow quickly on the love and support I receive and become a strong artist.\"


The evening continued with a varied setlist: Gil Ryeo-won sang \"Tears Blues,\" Yoon Yun-seo performed \"Maiden Boatman,\" Yoon Tae-hwa offered \"Danhyeon,\" and Yeom Yu-ri delivered \"My Beloved,\" all met with warm applause. Gil Ryeo-won said, \"While preparing, I didn't expect so many people to come. I asked my parents and relatives to come, and I'm grateful for everyone who showed up.\" Yoon Yun-seo added, \"I was really surprised by how many of you came.\" The eldest, Yoon Tae-hwa, said, \"I'm deeply thankful so many people came. After 'Miss Trot 2' I held a concert, but this time the audience is more than ten times larger — I feel truly blessed. I wish everyone well.\" Yeom Yu-ri said, \"Thank you for the warm welcome. Standing on stage now as part of the TOP7 feels especially meaningful.\"

The program included duets. Gil Ryeo-won and Yeom Yu-ri performed \"Mapo Terminus\" with strong chemistry. Hong Seong-yun sang \"Mangbuseok,\" Heo Chan-mi performed \"With You,\" and Lee Sona delivered \"Thousand-Year Crane.\" Lee Sona explained, \"As we prepared this concert, we wondered which performances you'd enjoy. We wanted you to leave having shed some of the everyday stress. Now we're going to pick up the pace and have some fun.\"

The TOP7 reunited onstage to raise the energy with \"I Still Don't Know Love\" and \"Fifteen Nights.\" They also surprised fans by randomly selecting sections and seats to give Polaroid photos and signed gifts. Interaction with the audience remained constant. Heo Chan-mi performed \"Within Ten Minutes,\" a number she prepared exclusively for the concert, and reached out to hold fans' hands during the song.

Strong, well-crafted performances followed: Yoon Yun-seo sang \"I Can't Forget,\" Yoon Tae-hwa offered \"Repentance,\" Gil Ryeo-won performed \"Flower Wind,\" and Yeom Yu-ri sang \"Set Sail,\" each demonstrating stage presence and skill. Hong Seong-yun chose \"When You Turn the Pages of Memory,\" Heo Chan-mi sang \"You're an Annoying Butterfly,\" and Lee Sona performed \"Love Is the Flower of Life,\" all of which intensified the evening's momentum.


At the close of the show, members shared video messages. Lee Sona pledged, \"I will sing from the heart to give you performances that resonate.\" Heo Chan-mi expressed gratitude for every word of encouragement and reflected, \"My life so far has been a process and a kind of training. I feel this is just the beginning.\"

Hong Seong-yun said, \"I read every message of support and keep them close to my heart. I'll do my best for the fans.\" Gil Ryeo-won added, \"I hope my songs bring strength to many people. I came from nothing, so I'm grateful and will work hard to be an artist you can be proud of.\" Yoon Tae-hwa thanked fans and vowed to repay them with good songs, adding, \"I love you.\" Yoon Yun-seo said she hoped to earn enough to donate to neighbors in need and asked for continued support. Yeom Yu-ri promised, \"You always worry for us and stand by us. I'll show you only my best side.\"

After their messages, the members returned in red outfits and closed the set with upbeat numbers such as \"New Love Hill,\" \"Jang Yoon-jung Twist,\" and \"Song Melody Cha-Cha-Cha,\" creating a festival-like atmosphere.

Though the main set concluded, fans continued to call for an encore. For the encore, Lee Sona sang \"Flower Song\" and \"Yeongam Arirang,\" showcasing her vocal range. As she performed, the TOP7 reunited to present \"Gangwon-do Arirang,\" bringing the night to a stirring close.
