[OSENWORLD] aespa made a powerful return with their third solo concert, showcasing live band arrangements that delivered a raw, dynamic rock-infused sound. Adding to the excitement, the group premiered several unreleased tracks — including “Rich Man,” the title track of their upcoming sixth mini album Rich Man — raising anticipation for their September 5 comeback.
The concert series, titled 2025 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK : aeXIS LINE, opened in Seoul on August 29 and runs for three days through August 31. Ticket demand proved overwhelming, with all three shows selling out completely, including limited-view seats. For fans unable to attend in person, the Aug. 30–31 performances are also being streamed live worldwide via Beyond LIVE.
Inspired by the concept of an “axis line,” the show reflects aespa’s ongoing commitment to empowering messages while marking the beginning of solidarity with like-minded fans.
On-site promotions added another layer of excitement. Fans could step into themed photo zones designed around Rich Man, experiencing the album’s concept firsthand, and those who posted preview clips on social media had the chance to win giveaways.
Following their sold-out Seoul concerts, aespa will embark on a 15-show arena tour across Asia, with stops including Fukuoka (Oct. 4–5), Tokyo (Oct. 11–12, Nov. 8–9), Aichi (Oct. 18–19), Bangkok’s Impact Arena (Nov. 15–16), and Osaka Castle Hall (Nov. 26–27). Each venue is expected to host more than 10,000 fans per night.
aespa’s sixth mini album Rich Man will be released on September 5 at 1 p.m. KST on global music platforms, with a physical release available the same day.
