The Odd of Love (stylized as TAEYEON CONCERT - The ODD Of LOVE) was the fifth concert tour and the first arena tour headlined by South Korean singer Taeyeon, in support of her third studio album INVU (2022). The tour started in June 2023 in Seoul and finished in August 2023 in Singapore, visiting eight countries across Asia. It was her first solo concert in three years since The Unseen in 2020, which was cut short after three shows due to COVID-19.
