This comes about five months after their “TREASURE TOUR ‘Pulse On’ in Japan” tour, which drew 300,000 attendees. As the group has continued its rapid rise in popularity locally through large-scale tours, this fan concert was also completely sold out, demonstrating the intense interest in the group.

Treasure’s overwhelming performance sent global fans into a frenzy. Solo and unit stages, specially prepared exclusively for the Japan tour, were also highlights of the show. The concert featured a series of cover performances of local hits, including Shota Shimizu’s “Hanataba no Kawari ni Melodio,” which showcased Park Jung-woo’s sweet vocals; PERFUME’s “Chocolate Disco,” highlighting their adorable and lively charm; and Orange Range’s “Ikenai Taiyo,” radiating a free-spirited energy. They also showcased a diverse range of performances, including the upbeat “Nanrina.” (Photo: YG Entertainment) Above all, TREASURE’s love for their fans shone through. They visited various sections of the audience using a mobile stage and conveyed their heartfelt affection to the fans, who responded with enthusiastic cheers and sing-alongs throughout the performance. The members said, “Spending time with TREASURE Makers (their fan club name) is a great source of strength and happiness for us,” adding, “Thank you for your unwavering support, and we will strive to be a TREASURE that repays you with even better performances.” Treasure, having marked the successful start of their Japanese fan concert tour, appeared on local broadcasts, signaling their plans for wide-ranging activities. On the 1st, they appeared on Fuji TV’s “2026 FNS Summer Music Festival,” and on the 4th, on Nippon TV’s “THE MUSIC DAY 2026,” where they performed live with handheld microphones, leaving a distinctive impression. They will also be appearing consecutively on major terrestrial music programs. TREASURE wrapped up their Seoul fan concert at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium from June 19 to 21. Starting in Osaka, Japan, they plan to connect with local fans across a total of 17 shows in seven cities, including Kanagawa, Hyogo, Aichi, Fukui, Fukuoka, and Tokyo.
