RIIZE will embark on its first solo concert tour as it continues to achieve success with songs ranging from its debut track “Get A Guitar” to its latest album “ODYSSEY.” The Seoul show, held from July 4 to 6 at the KSPO DOME, is already generating massive interest as tickets sold out completely, with even restricted-view seats opened up following previous proven ticket power at fan concerts in May and September last year. **Expansion of Global Tours** ATEEZ will return on June 13 with its new album “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3,” featuring the summer-themed title track “Lemon Drop.” After successfully concluding its world tour “TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER” in March, the group will continue its global journey with the new tour “IN YOUR FANTASY.” Starting with the Incheon show from July 5 to 6 at the Inspire Arena, they are set to deliver top-tier live performances, having previously become the first male K-POP idols to perform on the Coachella stage.

Fans are highly anticipating the full-group stage, as members who have achieved great success in their solo activities will reunite after a long time. NCT DREAM, which met its fandom “SHIZUNE” at a fan meeting in May, has announced a comeback and world tour in July, signaling active further activities. The concert “THE DREAM SHOW 4 : DREAM THE FUTURE,” held from July 10 to 12 at the Gochek Sky Dome, will present the group’s journey from debut to the present through a time-travel concept, along with their energetic performances typical of NCT DREAM, heating up the stage. SEVENTEEN’s sub-unit Hoshi×Woozi, known by the nickname “Typhoon Warning” for being peers born in 1996, has showcased their unique cheerful energy through their first single album “Donggapnaegi” in March 2025 and the mission song “ECHO!” for Mnet’s variety show “World of Street Woman Fighter.” They will tour Asia with their “WARNING” fan concert. This performance highlighting their special chemistry will take place from July 11 to 13 at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium. **Entry into North American Tours** ENHYPEN has achieved several milestones this year.
