Singer Xiumin will be holding his first solo fan-con Asia tour.

On the afternoon of the 7th, INB100, Xiumin‘s agency, announced the news of the holding of the ‘2025 XIUMIN FAN CONCERT ‘X Times ( ) (엑스타임스)’ ASIA TOUR’ through their official channel along with a poster.

The tour, which will begin on March 22nd at the Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, will be held in six Asian cities: Tokyo on April 11th, Osaka on April 13th, Bangkok on April 19th, Manila on May 10th, and Taipei on May 25th.

Like the posters that were created with the concept of multiple Xiumins being interviewed by Xiumin, this fan-con will be filled with compositions, artwork, and videos that showcase the various charms of solo artist Xiumin.

In addition, the album to be released on March 10th Xiumin’s 2nd mini album ‘Interview X’ is expected to give fans unforgettable memories with its diverse and rich composition, including stages for new songs included in the album and various event corners.

Xiumin‘s 2nd mini album ‘Interview X’ contains six songs of different genres, including the title song ‘WHEE!’, ‘Can’ Help Myself’, ‘Make You LaLa’, ‘Switch Off’, ‘Lost Paradise’, ‘Love is U’.

Following the release of his album and fan concert, Xiumin will be appearing as the main character Heo Gyun in the drama ‘Heo’s Kitchen’, which will be released every Monday and Tuesday at 5 PM through Netflix and Wavve starting March 24, and will continue his active activities in music, dramas, and performances.

Meanwhile, Xiumin‘s agency is in conflict with KBS after Xiumin’s ‘Music Bank’ appearance fell through. The agency claimed, ‘We tried to meet to appear on a music show ahead of the comeback, but KBS did not respond and remained silent.’ KBS‘s position is that it is impossible for him to appear with artists from SM Entertainment, Xiumin’s former agency. However, KBS drew the line, saying, ‘It is groundless.’
