NCT JNJM Wraps Asia Fan Meeting Tour With 27,000 Fans in Bangkok

NCT's Jeno and Jaemin, performing together as unit NCT JNJM, brought their Asia fan meeting tour to a close in Bangkok last weekend, pulling a combined 27,000 fans across three nights at IMPACT Arena from August 7 to 9. SM Entertainment confirmed the attendance figure on August 10.

The Bangkok run was the final stop on a tour that stretched across six regions and 13 shows, taking the duo through Tokyo, Jakarta, and four other Asian cities since the tour launched. On stage, they performed their unit debut track BOTH SIDES alongside WIND UP and a range of other songs, giving fans a proper showcase of what JNJM sounds like as a standalone act rather than just a subset of the larger NCT universe.

In a statement, the members reflected warmly on the experience: "Every moment of this fan meeting tour as a unit was precious and happy. We hope our charm and energy came through well."

For a unit that formed specifically to give Jeno and Jaemin a dedicated creative space, completing a 13-show run across Asia is a meaningful milestone, and the Bangkok crowd size suggests the appetite for more JNJM is very much there.

EXO's D.O. returns to the solo concert stage in October

Singer and actor D.O. (Do Kyung-soo) of EXO will hold a solo concert titled DAY OFF at Ticketlink Live Arena in Seoul's Songpa district on October 2 through 4, his label Blitzway Music announced. It will be his first solo concert in ten months, following his last solo stage in December of last year.

The concert title carries a deliberate message: DAY OFF is meant to evoke the idea of stepping away from routine and spending a single day doing something new, free of the usual framework. Given that D.O. just wrapped EXO's world tour, 27 shows across 14 regions, the name reads almost like a wry wink at how little downtime he's actually had.

NOWUS celebrates comeback with COEX busking set

Group NOWUS took their new music outdoors on August 9, hosting a free busking performance at COEX in Seoul's Gangnam district. The set was organized to celebrate the release of their digital single Achilles, which dropped on August 5.

They performed Achilles alongside fan favorites EVERGLOW and Problem Child, giving both longtime fans and curious passersby a full live introduction to where the group is right now. Despite summer heat and a weekend crowd, the turnout was strong enough that NOWUS specifically thanked fans for braving the weather to show up.

"We had so much fun on stage because so many people came to the busking," the group said in a statement. "We're grateful to everyone who came out despite the heat and the weekend. We hope those who saw us for the first time will continue to show NOWUS lots of love."
