Aespa, the first-ever metaverse girl group in K-pop, will give a Bangkok debut concert at the Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani, on July 29 at 6pm and again on July 30 at 4pm.

Presented by SM True, the "Aespa Live Tour 2023 'Synk: Hyper Line' In Bangkok" concert will take Thai fans to the ultimate experience through transcendent performances that transform their world, combining stunning production and a setlist that will be packed with hit songs. Exclusively for the Bangkok shows, prepare to see a solo stage for each member -- Karina, Winter, Giselle and Ningning.

The name Aespa is a combination of the word æ which stands for "Avatar X Experience" and aspect meaning two sides. The group has actively participated in various promotional activities under the concept of "Aespa's worldview of meeting avatar 'æ' who has another self and experiencing a new world". This unique worldview has captivated fans worldwide and generated countless discussions.

The group made a remarkable debut with Black Mamba in Nov 2020. The song set records as the most-watched debut music video of K-pop in the first 24 hours and reached 100 million views the fastest on YouTube.

They elevated their story to another level with the release of their second single, Next Level, in May 2021. It received an enthusiastic response, became a mega-hit and sparked a global dance phenomenon.

Five months later, they launched their first mini album, Savage, which topped the main digital charts in Korea and international music charts. Also, their powerful dance track Girls, from their second mini album of the same title released last July, debuted at No.3 on the Billboard 200.

Last month, Aespa exploded across all platforms with their third mini album My World. It achieved tremendous success, topping the music and album charts of various global charts and winning four awards in Korean music programmes.

The group is currently on their first concert tour, Synk: Hyper Line, which includes 31 shows in Asia, North America, South America and Europe.

Tickets cost 2,600, 3,600, 4,600 and 4,900 baht and will be available for public sale on Saturday from 11am through all branches of Counter Service and via allticket.com.
