‘Domes are too small, now it‘s stadiums!’
ENHYPEN’s status is like this. This summer, they will be holding large-scale concerts in two major Japanese stadiums that can accommodate over 50,000 people per show. At Tokyo‘s Ajinomoto Stadium and Osaka’s Yanmar Stadium Nagai, it will be the ‘shortest’ entry after debut for a foreign artist.
According to their agency Belift Lab on the 4th, ENHYPEN will be holding ‘Walk the Line in Japan-Summer Edition-’ twice each on July 5th and 6th at Tokyo‘s Ajinomoto Stadium and on August 2nd and 3rd at Osaka’s Yanmar Stadium Nagai for a total of four shows.
ENHYPEN‘s entry into Japan’s two major stadiums is a concrete proof of their peak local popularity, and is particularly meaningful. These stadiums can accommodate over 50,000 people at the same time. Meanwhile, for an overseas artist, holding these stadium concerts was achieved in just 4 years and 7 months, the shortest period since debut.
ENHYPEN previously held a successful dome tour of three Japanese cities, including Veruna, Fukuoka PayPay, and Kyocera Dome Osaka, from November of last year to January of this year. Through this dome tour, ENHYPEN set a record of mobilizing an audience of 190,000.
ENHYPEN, who has established themselves as a K-pop ‘ icon, won the grand prize ‘Album of the Year’, the main prize ‘The Awards Delight’, the ‘Group Popularity Award’, which is selected 100% by global fan voting, ‘Best Group’, ‘Best Tour’, and other ‘5 Crowns’, which corresponds to the most titles.
