SEOUL, Aug. 19 (Yonhap) -- Aespa made history by hosting a solo concert at Japan's Tokyo Dome for two consecutive years, attracting a total of 94,000 fans over two days on the 17th and 18th, according to their agency SM Entertainment on the 19th. This achievement marks Aespa as the first-ever foreign female artist to accomplish such a feat at the Tokyo Dome.
Prior to the Tokyo Dome concerts, Aespa successfully completed a sold-out arena tour across four Japanese cities—Fukuoka, Nagoya, Saitama, and Osaka—drawing in a total of 100,000 attendees over nine performances. The Tokyo Dome concert was also sold out, including seats with restricted views.

During the concerts, Aespa performed several Japanese original songs, including their debut single "Hot Mess," along with "Sun and Moon" and "ZOOM ZOOM," earning enthusiastic applause from the fans.
The group also interacted closely with the audience, traveling through the venue in mobile carts and handing microphones to fans, allowing them to participate in the performance. Aespa expressed their gratitude, saying, "We are so touched that we could perform at Tokyo Dome again this year thanks to all of you. It's incredibly moving to see so many people gathered in one space to listen to our music and watch our stage. We prepared our best for this concert, and we hope you all had a great time. We'll continue to give our best in everything we do, so please stay with us."
Aespa will continue their world tour on the 24th in Jakarta, Indonesia.
