Tzuyu, a member of girl group Twice, covered Singaporean singer Stefanie Sun\u2019s hit song First Day in a performance in Taiwan on the night of July 3.<\/p>\n
Local media outlets reported that it was the K-pop star\u2019s first performance as a solo artist in her hometown.<\/p>\n
She was the last performer to take the stage on the first day of Beer Rock Festival, a three-day event in Kaohsiung.<\/p>\n
Other artists on the festival\u2019s line-up include Mandopop singer Kimberley Chen, popular Taiwanese television show host and singer Jacky Wu, K-pop artist Rain and K-pop boy band Riize.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a little nervous, but I am also very excited and happy to see the fans,\u201d Taiwan-born Tzuyu told the audience, as quoted by broadcaster Formosa Television.<\/p>\n
Wearing a white two-piece outfit, she performed four songs and a dance number during her hour-long set, which also included Run Away and Fly from her extended play Aboutzu (2024), as well as Twice\u2019s What Is Love? (2018).<\/p>\n
First Day was the last song on her setlist, and Tzuyu urged the audience to sing along.<\/p>\n
At the end of the performance, she waved to the fans and said: \u201cThank you, Kaohsiung! I\u2019ll see you again!\u201d<\/p>\n
First Day was part of Mandopop star Sun\u2019s ninth album, A Perfect Day (2005). It has since become a classic in Mandarin-speaking communities.<\/p>\n
Aside from Tzuyu, other artists who have previously performed the song include Mandopop band Mayday, whose lead singer Ashin wrote the lyrics, and singers Aska Yang, Angela Zhang and Chen Linong.<\/p>\n
This was not Tzuyu\u2019s first Mandopop cover. On Valentine\u2019s Day 2024, she surprised fans with a cover of LaLa Hsu\u2019s I Dare You (2012), which she posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tzuyu, a member of girl group Twice, covered Singaporean singer Stefanie Sun\u2019s hit song First Day in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":524829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,409],"class_list":["post-524828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=524828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/524829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=524828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=524828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
