The group Dongbang (SME) spectacularly capped off its nationwide live tour in Japan with a concert at the Tokyo Dome.
The 'TOHOSHINKI 20th Anniversary LIVE TOUR ~ZONE~' kicked off in Saitama last November and traveled to a total of nine cities, holding 22 performances in Aichi, Hiroshima, Osaka, Fukui, Miyagi, Fukuoka, Kanagawa, and Tokyo, attracting a total of 350,000 audience members and generating a huge response as it marked the 20th anniversary of Dongbang's debut in Japan.
In particular, Dongbang achieved an unprecedented number of performances with '33 total performances at the Tokyo Dome and 92 nationwide dome performances' during their concert held from April 25-27, further breaking their own record for 'the most performances by a foreign artist at the Tokyo Dome and nationwide domes', proving their overwhelming status as an 'Asian top class' artist.
Additionally, this concert at the Tokyo Dome was held to coincide with Dongbang's debut date in Japan on April 27, adding more significance. To commemorate this, major Japanese media outlets, including Sports Nippon, Nikkan Sports, Sports Hochi, Sankei Sports, and Daily Sports, published special editions focusing on the concert at the Tokyo Dome, reflecting Dongbang's enduring popularity and power.
Moreover, during this concert, Dongbang showcased a variety of upgraded stage productions and presented dynamic performances that changed the existing setlist with songs like 'HUG', 'Purple Line', and 'Humanoids', successfully concluding their 20th anniversary activities in Japan, which had spanned from album releases to broadcasts, magazines, pop-up stores, and tours since last year.
After finishing their nationwide live tour in Japan, Dongbang will participate in the 'SMTOWN LIVE 2025' in Mexico City on May 10 (local time) and in Los Angeles on May 12.
