K-pop sensation aespa’s upcoming concert in Seoul this June has completely sold out, even the additional limited view seats!

As per SM Entertainment’s announcement on the 10th, the ‘2024 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK : PARALLEL LINE –’ scheduled for June 29~30th at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul, has sold out for both days.

The tickets were snapped up during the fan club pre-sales on May 3rd and the general sales on May 8th.

The overwhelming response from fans led to the quick sell-out of the additional limited view seats for both days.

Previously, aespa also sold out their ‘2024 aespa LIVE TOUR - SYNK : PARALLEL LINE - in JAPAN’, leading to the announcement of two additional performances at the Tokyo Dome on August 17~18th.

Adding to the excitement, a highlight medley video was released on aespa’s YouTube channel at midnight.

The video features snippets from a total of 9 songs, including the new track ‘Supernova’ and other songs from their first full album ‘Armageddon’, further amplifying anticipation for their upcoming comeback.

In the meantime, aespa is set to release the double title track ‘Supernova’ from their first full album ‘Armageddon’ on various music sites at 6 pm on May 13th.

On the 27th at 6 pm, they will release all 10 tracks from the album, which spans various genres, including another title track ‘Armageddon’.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
