YG's TREASURE has successfully concluded their first Asia tour, signaling an unstoppable momentum for 2023.
On the 20th, TREASURE completed their final performance of the '2023 TREASURE TOUR [HELLO]' at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. Starting from Korea in November 2022, they toured extensively across Asia, including Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, China, and Hong Kong, marking a dazzling finale to their Asia tour.
The concert was filled with passionate energy, as it was their first visit since their debut, yet they achieved a sold-out status amidst fierce ticketing competition. Through this tour, TREASURE performed in 17 cities for a total of 40 shows, attracting a staggering 420,000 attendees and showcasing their global influence.
According to insiders, TREASURE, who burst onto the stage amid explosive cheers, captured fans' hearts with their opening performance of 'JIKJIN.' They continued to deliver non-stop energy for approximately 170 minutes, including powerful hit song relays, unit performances, covers, encores, and re-encores.
Especially noteworthy was TREASURE's growth as "performance artists" who interacted with fans worldwide. The members energetically roamed around the stage, igniting the audience, while their unwavering vocal skills captivated the eyes and ears throughout the challenging choreography. In response, fans filled the venue with a wave of blue light from their tridents (official light sticks) and responded with fervent cheers.
As befitting the finale, the concert demonstrated YG's expertise in high-quality production. The rich live band sound enhanced TREASURE's performance, providing a powerful and overwhelming experience. Furthermore, the dynamic lighting, fireworks, LED screens, and other special effects that changed with the music satisfied all senses, according to YG.
Reflecting on their journey, TREASURE shared heartfelt emotions with their fans. The members expressed their gratitude, saying, "Treasure Makers (fandom name), we will never forget the love and support you have shown us. Treasure exists because of Treasure Makers." They also stated, "Although the Asian tour has ended, it is not the end but a new beginning. We will show you what we have prepared this year in the near future."
In addition, TREASURE is set to appear at 'Waterbomb Nagoya 2023' in July and will take the main stage at Japan's representative music festival, 'Summer Sonic 2023,' in August.
