This July, rising stars KANG YUCHAN and from20 brought their 2026 BODY TALK European tour to London, taking over Islington Assembly Hall on July 23 for a night that put the pair's individual artistry – and their chemistry together – firmly in focus.
The London date arrived at an exciting point for both artists. KANG YUCHAN's first solo EP, REBEL, introduced a new chapter of his sound, while from20's latest album, Rated R, has continued to build out his bold, genre-blurring world. Their shared tour title nods to "Body Talk," the track that first appeared on Yuchan's REBEL before being reimagined with from20, making it a fitting thread for a show built around collaboration as much as their own distinct identities.
Across the night, the set drew from these recent releases, moving between polished pop, R&B-leaning moments and the performance energy both artists bring so naturally to the stage. It was a chance for London fans to see the full range of the BODY TALK era live – and to watch two artists whose creative connection carries as much weight offstage as it does under the lights.
Before the doors opened and the show began, KPOPWORLD joined KANG YUCHAN and from20 backstage for an exclusive shoot. These images capture the final minutes before they stepped out – plus a look at the pair on stage as the BODY TALK tour took over London for the night.
