Overview
- The performance at NPR’s Washington, D.C., headquarters marked Tiny Desk’s first concert by a K-pop group.
- Joshua, Mingyu, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino appeared, with DK absent after losing his voice as others covered his parts.
- The set opened with “Super,” flowed through “Darl+ing,” “_WORLD” and “To you,” and wrapped with an encore of “VERY NICE” after “HOT.”
- An audience call for “HBD” prompted an off-the-cuff a cappella rendition, and Vernon remarked on the unexpectedly loud crowd response.
- The appearance supports promotion for Happy Burstday, which hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200, with a Nov. 29 Ventelin Dome Nagoya show announced for global theatrical livestream.
