HORI7ON on X
HORI7ON has just performed their latest single, ‘Lucky‘, on KBS “Music Bank”, and we still haven’t recovered from the fun fest that it was!
HORI7ON is a group that receives much love from ANCHORs on Kpopmap and why wouldn’t they when they are making history with their own hands?
As a global pop group, the all-Filipino act sings in Korean, Filipino, and English and has expressed the desire and drive to make music in even more languages in the future.
With their latest release ‘Lucky’, HORI7ON is said to be setting a new “high teen standard”, according to Korean media, appealing to Generations M, Z, and even Alpha!
This is to say that HORI7ON’s myriad charms are captivating fans across the world, regardless of who they are, where they’re from, or even how old they are!
Everyone’s coming together to celebrate HORI7ON, and we’re all feeling quite ‘Lucky’ to say the least!
For those who might not know, ‘Lucky’ is a funk-pop song with all the sparkling energy and high-spirited vivacity that we associate with HORI7ON.
It is a fantastic herald of the upcoming spring and summer, ushering in the seasons’ bright colors.
This is the type of song you listen to for a little pep in your step, a pick-me-up to brush off your blues, and an invitation to throw away your worries and revel in HORI7ON’s magic.
HORI7ON on X
For us, watching HORI7ON’s performance of ‘Lucky’ on “Music Bank” was just the impetus we needed to get through Friday’s schedules and welcome the weekend.
So, here are 5 things we absolutely loved about the performance that we know you will too!
1. HORI7ON’s Pitch Perfect Vocals On “Music Bank”
With how energetic ‘Lucky’ is as a song, it is one that can easily leave a singer breathless. However, the HORI7ON members are virtually flawless in their vocals, even while executing such demanding choreography. The vocal line, in particular, delivers steady and stable vocals with impressive projection, consistently accurate pitch, and wonderfully sustained high notes.
What takes the performance to another level is just how effortlessly the members do this, and that speaks volumes of all the hard work and unstilted effort they put into preparing for this comeback and showing an improved version of themselves and their artistry to fans worldwide.
2. HORI7ON’s Unbeatable Synchronization
Ever since their debut, HORI7ON has gained considerable praise from fans and critics for their stage presence and synchronization. The seven members have outstanding teamwork and synergy off-stage, which naturally translates to immaculate sync on-stage. Again, they sure know how to make it look easy.
What we see when HORI7ON gets on stage is seven young men having the time of their lives, enjoying themselves to the fullest. They live up to the lyrics of their songs and make it a performance to remember. That’s when a performance turns into an experience, and HORI7ON seems to have mastered that art.
3. The Coolest Rap
Can we have a moment to appreciate the rap line of HORI7ON in ‘Lucky’? We are obsessed, and you should be too! Not only is Reyster with the red hair stealing our hearts, but that smooth rap, which feels like it is addressed directly to ANCHORs, is enough to make us blush!
While you’re reeling from Reyster’s charisma, Jeromy comes in with his boy-next-door vibe, ready to inject an infectious freshness into the song with his rap verse. That’s not all! We have Marcus rapping in this song, too (a part that he fought for!), and just as we thought, the ace aced again!
4. HORI7ON Flirting With ANCHORs
This one goes hand in hand with HORI7ON’s stage presence. Along with perfect vocals/rap, unmatched choreography, and magnetic stage presence, the HORI7ON members also know how to flirt with the camera in a way that never fails to make us swoon!
Be it Marcus’ cute wink, Kyler’s killer smile, Kim’s endless charm, Vinci’s K-Drama male lead attitude, Winston keeping heart-fluttering eye contact with the camera, Jeromy looking like everyone’s new first love, or Reyster’s masculine allure – ANCHORs worldwide fell in love with HORI7ON all over again after this stage.
Didn’t you?
5. The Styling For “Music Bank”
A white tee/shirt, a denim jacket, and some jeans – this fit may be simple, but it just hits different when HORI7ON are the ones sporting it. HORI7ON has always impressed us with their stage outfits, and this time, too, their styling is simply spot on! In particular, each member’s outfit is accessorized in a slightly different way, which makes them stand out while also contributing to the coherence of the group’s aesthetic.
As far as we could spot, most of them have gold/silver chains and rings on, but Kyler has a longer gold-toned chain with a chunky pendant that complements the way the top buttons of his shirt are undone, Marcus has a black tie to give him the perfect “best boy” look, Reyster and Kim have scarves tied to their belts, and Jeromy has an earth-toned cap on (most probably a baker boy hat worn backwards).
The details truly elevate the look and make our HORI7ON boys look unbelievably handsome, as always!
