In a groundbreaking announcement that reverberated across the music industry, powerhouse boy band Treasure is poised to etch their name in history as the first Korean artist to grace the illustrious stage of Tokyo Dome for a momentous fan meet and greet event. The revelation was made by their management, YG Entertainment, on a momentous Friday.
The news arrives in the wake of Treasure's monumental achievement with their second full-length album, "Reboot," which soared to remarkable heights, becoming the band's inaugural million-seller by amassing a staggering 1.71 million copies sold. The album's resounding success propelled it to claim the top spot on Circle Chart's coveted album sales chart, solidifying Treasure's status as a dominant force in the music industry.
Titled "2023 Treasure Fan Meeting Hello Again Tokyo Dome Special," the extraordinary event marks the inception of Treasure's first fan meet and greet tour since their momentous debut in the Japanese market back in March 2021. The significance of this event is monumental, as the boy band assumes the mantle of the first Korean artist to grace the Tokyo Dome stage for a fan meeting—a remarkable feat that underscores their unparalleled appeal and global resonance.
The Tokyo Dome, a hallowed ground for the Japanese music industry, has witnessed the convergence of legendary artists and monumental performances. For Treasure, this iconic venue represents a milestone that showcases their meteoric rise and indomitable influence.
The expansive tour is a testament to Treasure's unwavering connection with their fervent fanbase. Spanning five cities and encompassing an awe-inspiring 20 fan meet and greet sessions, including a special mini-concert within the Tokyo Dome itself, the tour will embark on its musical journey on September 2 in Fukuoka, culminating in a grand finale at the Tokyo Dome on November 12. The band's remarkable popularity is palpable, with all pre-November 12 sessions having already sold out.
Treasure, the fourth boy band to emerge from the heralded YG Entertainment, made their dazzling debut in February 2020 through the captivating audition program "YG Treasure Box," which aired on JTBC2 in 2018. Initially conceived as two distinct bands—Treasure and Magnum—YG Entertainment eventually converged their vision to create a single, powerhouse group comprising 12 talented members.
Today, Treasure stands tall with a dynamic lineup of 10 members: Choi Hyun-suk, Jihoon, Yoshi, Junkyu, Yoon Jae-hyuk, Asahi, Haruto, Doyoung, Park Jeong-woo, and So Jung-hwan. The band's journey, marked by triumphs and transformation, also saw members Mashiho and Bang Ye-dam depart in November 2022.
As Treasure's remarkable odyssey continues, their unprecedented fan meet and greet at the Tokyo Dome not only symbolizes their artistic achievement but also marks a pivotal moment for Korean artists within the global music landscape.
