If your feed suddenly turned into a haze of red lights, devil horns, and people typing in all caps about “Devil Kiss,” you did not miss a scandal. You just walked into a full-on fandom event.
#PerthSantaConcertD1 is the tag fans have been using to live-post reactions from Day 1 of PERTHSANTA ONE TASTE, the live concert built around Thai actor duo Perth and Santa, aka the beloved pairing fans call PerthSanta. And the reason it is popping off is simple: the show is staged like a storyline, and Day 1 felt like a new “chapter” to a lot of people watching.
What #PerthSantaConcertD1 actually refers to
The hashtag is basically a shared scrapbook for the first night of the ONE TASTE concert. Fans are using it to post clips, favorite lines, outfit moments, and reactions to the big set pieces. It is not tied to controversy. It is tied to a very intentional performance concept that leaned into theatrical “devil” imagery and playful, flirty stage energy.
One of the most repeated takes I have seen from the crowd is that the duo is “cooking back to back,” a shorthand way of saying they are in a hot streak and performing like they have something to prove. Another popular sentiment: this show “raised new standards” for what a duo concert can look and feel like.
The big theme: “two devils saving music”
Day 1 was framed with a clear through-line that fans latched onto immediately: a devil-themed concept that played like a mini musical narrative, often described by attendees as “two devils saving music.”
That kind of framing matters because it gives fans more than a set list. It gives them a story to rewatch, quote, and interpret. In ship-heavy fandoms, a strong concept also creates space for chemistry to read as “part of the show” while still feeling electric and personal.
In other words, it is the best of both worlds: theatrical enough to be art, intimate enough to feel like a moment.
“Devil Kiss” is the segment fans can not stop replaying
If there is one phrase carrying Day 1 on its back, it is “Devil Kiss”. Fans who traveled for the show have called the segment unreal, and it is the performance that keeps showing up in short clips and breathless captions.
A lyric moment in particular is being reposted again and again because it hits that perfect intersection of stage character and shipper brain:
“go go go to hell with me, my darling, i’m here to punish you”
Why does that line go viral? Because it is bold, theatrical, and just suggestive enough that it feels like a “new level” moment without needing to cross any lines. Fans are reacting the way fans do when a concert gives them a quotable hook: they turn it into the caption for their emotional breakdown.
Solo stages that showed different sides of their artistry
Part of why Day 1 is earning “raised the bar” comments is that the show was not just about duo moments. Attendees also pointed out how the solo stages highlighted different flavors of performance and artistry, giving each of them room to stand alone before snapping back into duo energy.
That structure is smart for two reasons:
- It protects the pacing. You get peaks and breathers instead of one long stretch of intensity.
- It proves range. Fans can celebrate the pairing while also seeing each performer’s individual strengths.
One attendee summed it up perfectly: between Devil Kiss, the fan projects, and the solos, the trip was “worth every mile” they traveled.
The fan projects turned the venue into a “sea of light”
Concerts like this are co-created. Yes, Perth and Santa are the headliners, but the crowd often becomes part of the show, especially when fandoms organize coordinated light projects.
Night 1 delivered on that in a way people are describing as a “sea of light” inside the venue. If you are new to this corner of fandom: these projects are typically planned in advance so that specific sections of the audience light up in synchronized colors or patterns during key songs or speaking moments. The effect is emotional on camera and even more overwhelming in person.
The on-stage GMMTV tease that triggered spoiler theories
Now to the moment that launched a whole separate wave of posts: an on-stage tease involving Mike (พี่ไมค์) and a possible future collaboration.
Fans have been circulating the line attributed to Mike:
“เร็ว ๆ นี้อาจจะได้ร่วมงานกับ gmmtv นะครับ”
The reaction that really fueled speculation is that Santa looked visibly shocked, which immediately sent fans into theory mode. The most common interpretation floating around: if Santa was surprised, maybe it was a genuine hint and not just casual banter, possibly pointing to a new project or series connected to GMMTV.
Important reality check, with love: a tease is not a confirmation. Concert stages are where performers and teams test energy, plant playful seeds, and sometimes hype possibilities that are still in motion. But fandom speculation is part of the fun, and this one has a clear origin point, which is why it is spreading so quickly.
Why fans feel like this is a “new chapter” for PerthSanta
There is a specific type of concert high that happens when a duo’s live chemistry feels intentional instead of accidental. Fans are describing Perth and Santa’s on-stage connection as genuine and loyal, with the vibe of two people who trust each other enough to take performance risks.
That is why you are seeing language like “the chapter we have been waiting for” and “raising new standards.” It is not just “they looked cute.” It is “they built a world for us for one night, and it felt like a milestone.”

What is “PerthSanta”?
It is the fandom nickname for Perth and Santa as a duo pairing. Fans use it as a ship name, a brand name, and basically a shorthand for anything they do together professionally.
What is “Devil Kiss”?
It is a performance segment from ONE TASTE Day 1 that leaned into devil-themed storytelling and flirtier lyric moments. It is the most clipped and replayed part of the night so far.
What is the GMMTV connection?
GMMTV is a major Thai entertainment company, and a brief on-stage tease about possibly working with them soon sparked theories about a future collaboration or series. Fans are treating it like a potential breadcrumb, not confirmed news.
Bottom line
Day 1 of PERTHSANTA ONE TASTE went viral for the most wholesome reason possible: it was a well-built show with a clear concept, a few perfectly engineered “scream and replay” moments (hello, Devil Kiss), and a crowd that showed up ready to participate. Add one well-timed GMMTV tease and you have the full recipe for a fandom night that feels bigger than a single concert date.
If this is only Day 1, I fully understand why fans are saying: please, PerthSanta, slow down. Or do not. Because the bar is currently somewhere in the stratosphere.
