SEOUL, South Korea — K-pop sensation aespa has proven their explosive international popularity once again by completely selling out both nights of their upcoming Hong Kong concerts. The group's fierce ticket demand was highlighted by an enormous online pre-sale traffic count, solidifying their status as a global touring force.
The two-day event, part of the '2025 aespa LIVE TOUR - SYNK : aeXIS LINE in HONGKONG,' is scheduled for February 7 and 8, 2026, at the AsiaWorld-Arena. Pre-sales for the shows, which began on September 25, 2025, were an instant success, resulting in a full house for both dates. The sheer scale of demand was evident on the Weverse pre-sale platform, which recorded a peak traffic count of 8.6 million concurrent users, underscoring the fierce competition among fans, known as 'MYs,' to secure a spot.
Massive Asia Tour Kicks Off in Japan
The Hong Kong concerts are part of aespa's extensive third world tour, which officially commenced in Seoul and has now entered its demanding Japanese leg. The tour launched its Japanese arena shows today (October 4, 2025) at the Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A.
The itinerary for the Japan leg includes a total of 10 shows across five cities, all held in venues capable of hosting over 10,000 attendees, demonstrating the group's significant draw in the country. The upcoming Japanese dates are:
Tokyo: Ariake Arena (October 11–12)
Aichi: Nagoya IG Arena (October 18–19)
Tokyo: Yoyogi National Stadium 1st Gymnasium (November 8–9)
Osaka: Osaka-jo Hall (November 26–27)
Expanding Global Footprint
Beyond Japan and the now-sold-out Hong Kong dates, aespa is extending their global reach across the rest of Asia. The 'SYNK : aeXIS LINE' tour is set to engage fans in multiple key markets throughout late 2025 and into 2026.
Other confirmed stops on the Asia leg of the tour include:
Bangkok, Thailand: Impact Arena (November 15–16, 2025)
Macau, China: Galaxy Arena (March 7–8, 2026)
Jakarta, Indonesia: Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE BSD) (April 4, 2026)
The immense success of the Hong Kong ticket sales serves as an early indicator of the tour's overall performance potential and reinforces aespa's position as one of the leading acts driving the global expansion of K-pop. As the tour continues to unfold, industry observers anticipate similarly strong demand in all remaining locations.
