Aespa successfully wrapped up their Los Angeles concert, drawing an audience of over 12,000 fans at the Kia Forum. The group also announced that a portion of the concert’s proceeds would be donated to aid victims of the recent large-scale wildfires in the area, adding further significance to the event.

On February 1 (local time), Aespa performed as part of their 2024-25 Aespa Live Tour – SYNK: Parallel Line. The concert was a complete sellout, demonstrating the group’s immense popularity in the U.S. market.

The setlist featured Aespa’s biggest hits, including Supernova, Armageddon, and Whiplash. Additionally, the members performed solo stages and tracks from their albums, offering fans a diverse musical experience.

The event also saw notable figures in attendance. American singer-songwriter Tori Kelly was present, along with EXO’s Suho, who, as a senior artist from their agency, cheered on his juniors while enjoying the show with the audience.

This marks Aespa’s third time performing in Los Angeles. In 2022, the group held a showcase at the YouTube Theater, and in 2023, they launched their first North American tour with a concert at the Crypto.com Arena.

"We know that so many fans in LA have been waiting for us," Aespa shared. "We were also looking forward to seeing our LA fans again." The heartfelt message reflected the strong bond between the group and their international fanbase.

Beyond the music, Aespa took action to support the local community, announcing that part of their concert proceeds would be donated to assist those affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. The decision further highlighted the group's commitment to making a meaningful impact beyond the stage.

Following their LA performance, Aespa will continue their tour with a concert in Mexico City on February 4, keeping up their momentum as they connect with fans across the globe.
