The concerts, including the one in Bangkok, achieved sold-out status across eight events.
Despite being pre-debut, the group has demonstrated significant growth potential.
[TV Daily Reporter Kim Ji-ha] SM Entertainment's rookie boy group SMTR25 has successfully concluded its first fan meeting tour, leaving a strong impression on the global fan base.
On May 30, SMTR25 held its 'Reply High School Fan Meeting Tour - Graduation Trip in Bangkok' at Thunder Dome in Bangkok, Thailand, connecting with local fans. The event featured performances of 'Finding the World Again,' which celebrates the start of the Mnet reality show 'Reply High School,' and the OST 'We Go,' along with a dedication stage from 'SM Town Live,' which marked their first appearance, adding to the excitement of the concert.
Additionally, they reinterpreted a variety of songs from veteran artists, including TVXQ's 'Show Me Your Love,' Super Junior's 'Dancing Out,' Seo Taiji and Boys' 'The One in My Fantasy,' One Time's 'Kwaejina Ching Ching,' and Kundi Panda's 'Roots,' enhancing the richness of the performance. A special stage was arranged especially for Thai fans, culminating in a vibrant concert experience.
Concluding in Bangkok, SMTR25 wrapped up their fan meeting tour, which commenced on May 1 and 3 in Seoul, followed by Macau and Yokohama, Japan, totaling eight performances. Notably, the Seoul and Macau concerts quickly sold out, prompting additional shows, a remarkable achievement considering their pre-debut status.
Through this tour, SMTR25 has strengthened its connection with global fans, recognizing the potential for expanding their fandom. Even before their official debut, they have garnered enthusiastic responses, heightening anticipation for their future activities.
Last year, SMTR25 was first introduced during the 'SM Town Live 2025' event held in Seoul, consisting of 15 members including Hanbi, Songha, Daniel, Hyunjun, Hamin, Jaewon, U Rin, Nicolas, Kacsyo, Justin, Haruta, Sadaharu, Charlie, Kachin, and Tata.
The recent fan meeting tour by SMTR25 stands out especially because it achieved significant attendance before their official debut. This presented a unique opportunity to forge closer connections with fans and affirmed the group's potential for future success. Notably, their reinterpretation of songs by senior artists highlighted their musical abilities and individuality.
The polished stage productions and diverse programs showcased by SMTR25 inspired great anticipation from fans. By engaging with audiences from various languages and cultures, they demonstrated their potential as global artists, signaling a growing interest in their future activities.
The support and feedback received through these fan meetings will likely serve as a foundation for their continued growth and development post-debut. Strengthening their ties with fans and providing opportunities to realize their musical vision will be pivotal in their journey ahead.
