Time for some K-entertainment news with Bella Kim.
Today we start off with a ‘powerful’ artist.
G-Dragon definitely showed off his power as tickets for his first world tour concert in Korea have already sold out.
According his agency, Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon’s World Tour “Übermensch in Korea” sold out both in-advance and general tickets, selling out 64-thousand seats in total. General reservation attracted 240-thousand simultaneous users, resembling a reservation war between fans.
“Übermensch in Korea” is G-Dragon’s first concert in eight years since his world tour back in 2017. The concerts will be held on March 29th and 30th at Goyang Sports Complex. At the concerts, G-Dragon will perform his new songs from the latest album “Übermensch” and also some legendary songs that are still getting plenty of love.
Let’s continue with our next story on another male artist.
BTS member J-Hope is coming back with a love song. He will release his new digital single “Sweet Dreams” featuring Miguel next Friday, March 7th. The new single is a pop R&B serenade that contains the sincerity of J-Hope, who wants to love and also be loved.
“Sweet Dreams” will feature R&B singer Miguel to give his sweet tone. Miguel won the “Best R&B Song” with “Adorn” at the GRAMMYs back in 2013. The new single will be pre-released at “J-Hope Tour ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’ in Seoul” on Friday, which is today Korea time.
Meanwhile, J-Hope will hold an offline fan event, “Sweet Dreamland” on March 7th, the day of the new single’s release. He will meet 613 fans in person, to match BTS’s debut date June 13th.
Lastly, we move onto a girl group. Who are we talking about?
We are going to talk about aespa. Aespa will perform at “SUMMER SONIC 2025.” “SUMMER SONIC” is the largest music festival in Japan, and attracts more than 200-thousand attendees every year. This year’s festival will take place on August 16th and 17th in Tokyo and Osaka. The group will join the lineup for the Tokyo performance, which will be held at ZOZO Marine Stadium & Makuhari Messe.
Aespa officially debuted in Japan last year with their single “Hot Mess” and attracted over 93-thousand fans through a two-day concert at Tokyo Dome.
The group will continue with their world tour, “2024-25 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK:PARALLEL LINE,” next month in London, Paris, Madrid and other European cities.
