Additional performances are also planned in response to fan support.
[TV Daily Reporter Kim Han-gil] The SM trainee group SMTR25 has proven its formidable ticket power by selling out their fan meeting in May. Scheduled for May 2-3 at the Olympic Hall in Seoul, the first fan meeting 'Reply High School' Fan Meeting Tour - Graduation Trip in SEOUL' recorded over 74,000 simultaneous connections at the time of ticket sales, resulting in both sessions being fully booked. This remarkable feat, considering they are trainees yet to debut, highlights the burgeoning fanbase of SMTR25. In response to this enthusiastic support, they have decided to add a performance on May 1, with ticket sales starting on March 11 at 8 PM through Melon Ticket. The fan meeting will showcase SMTR25 members wrapping up their life at the virtual school 'Friendship High' before embarking on a graduation trip, and it will continue in Yokohama, Japan on May 24 and Bangkok on May 30.
The explosive response to SMTR25's fan meeting indicates their broad public appeal and the establishment of a solid fanbase. Despite not having officially debuted yet, the ability to attract such large audiences can be attributed to the diverse content and unique concept presented. The reality show 'Reply High School' allows fans to experience elements of past K-culture, drawing a strong positive reaction from fans, and it is notable how individual members are also garnering significant affection. The graduation trip concept presented during the fan meeting is anticipated to strengthen the connection with fans and provide opportunities for shared experiences. Through this, SMTR25 is positioning itself not merely as unestablished trainees but as artists capable of forging deeper ties with their fans.
