&TEAM, the 'HYBE global group,' has embarked on its largest-ever tour in Japan and globally, continuing its impressive success. This rapid progression comes just 11 days after wrapping up an Asia tour that attracted over 230,000 fans.
The group, consisting of members U-ju, Fuma, K, Nicolas, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki, successfully held the first performances of their solo concert tour 'Mark on You' at the Tokyo Garden Theater on October 15 and 16. The nine members showcased a total of 26 explosive performances over approximately 150 minutes, marking the beginning of this new journey.
The tour title 'Mark on You' reflects the group's ambition to express gratitude to their fandom, LUNÉ, for their support and to leave a lasting impression on fans through their unique performances. This tour will span 41 shows across 18 cities in Japan and will continue with performances in South Korea in the spring of 2027, reaching out to global fans.
The Tokyo Garden Theater holds special significance for &TEAM, as it is the historic venue where the nine members were confirmed through an audition program in 2022. After fan meetings and showcases, this stage marks the starting point of their tour four years post-debut. The members expressed their joy, stating, "We performed here last year for a fan meeting and recently for a showcase, and we are thrilled to return for the tour today."
The concert's production has seen significant upgrades. While the previous Asia tour focused on complete group performances, this tour emphasizes individual member talents and personalities, providing a rich visual experience. They presented re-arranged versions of existing songs, showcasing new charms, and debuted the performance of 'Accelerate,' a track from their Korean mini-album 'Mark on Me,' featuring all songs from the new release on stage.
During the encore, they unveiled the new song 'For Us,' which serves as the theme for member Jo's leading role in the film 'One Dance.' This digital single encapsulates a commitment to living authentically and a determination for the future, leaving a profound impact with the members' heartfelt vocals.
As the concert concluded, &TEAM promised, "Starting from here, we will do our utmost to firmly 'mark' your hearts. We look forward to meeting more LUNÉ through this tour."
Meanwhile, &TEAM has achieved four consecutive million-seller albums with their Korean mini-album 'Mark on Me' and has reached No. 20 on the Billboard 200, demonstrating a rapid ascent in the global music market.
