Summary

  • Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome hosted aespa’s SYNK : COMPLæXITY launch on Aug. 7, opening the quartet’s fourth world tour with a 25-song set built around its new album LEMONADE.
  • LEMONADE drove the production and setlist, mixing tracks such as “Switchblade,” “Bite” and “’Til We Die” with hits including “Black Mamba,” “Next Level,” “Drama” and “Supernova.”
  • Four members — KARINA, GISELLE, WINTER and NINGNING — also got solo or unit stages, while large screens, sharp transitions and tightly choreographed segments reinforced aespa’s futuristic concert identity.
  • The tour follows an Aug. 2 Lollapalooza Chicago appearance and arrives about a year after aespa opened its previous tour in Seoul.
  • Through February 2027, the trek moves on from a two-show Seoul run to Taipei, then Latin America, North America and Europe, extending an era that already produced aespa’s third Billboard 200 top 10 with LEMONADE at No. 9.
