The group YOUNG POSSE will continue their American tour in Texas in March.

Young POSSE (Jeong Sun-hye, Wi Yeon-jeong, Jiana, Do-eun, Han Ji-eun) surprised everyone by posting a poster for their Texas tour ‘082DROP in TEXAS SQUARE of 45’ (hereafter ‘082DROP’) on their official SNS today (24th).

According to this, Young POSSE will visit five cities in Texas: San Antonio on March 15 (local time), Houston on the 17th, Austin on the 18th, College Station on the 20th, and Dallas-Fort Worth on the 21st.

The tour title ‘082DROP’ is a combination of the country code for South Korea ‘082’ and the English word ‘DROP’, and is a tour to spread Korean music all over the world. It contains Youngpa‘s bold ambition to “spread it.” Geographical characteristics are also reflected. If you make a square based on Highway 45 connecting Houston and Dallas-Fort Worx, all five cities where the tour is held will be included in it.

‘082DROP’ is also an extension of Youngpa’s ‘THE HUNGRY TOUR’ that heated up 12 cities in the Americas last year. It is said that Youngpa made a surprise decision to hold ‘082DROP’ for the Texas fans whom he unfortunately could not meet during the Americas tour. As local fans have been flooding in with requests to hold a tour, Youngpa is preparing various fan events as well as a unique stage that can only be seen on this tour to repay them.

Since their debut, Youngpa has been releasing songs based on authentic hip-hop sounds, such as ‘MACARONI CHEESE’, ‘XXL’, and ‘ATE THAT’, earning them the nickname ‘Korean hip-hop daughter’. Amid their rapid rise, they have also received a lot of love calls from the Americas, the birthplace of hip-hop. Thanks to their global popularity, Youngpa has been invited to the large-scale US music festival ‘Head In The Clouds New York 2024 (HITC 2024)’ in May 2024 and the ‘2024 MAMA AWARDS US’ in November.
