aespa Launches SYNK : COMPLæXITY Tour in Seoul: Here’s the Opening-Night Setlist

After delivering a show-stopping performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago on Aug. 2, aespa kicked off its SYNK : COMPLæXITY trek, the group’s fourth world tour, on Friday (Aug. 7) at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome.

The K-pop quartet has steadily expanded its touring résumé since launching SYNK : HYPER LINE in February 2023, followed by SYNK : PARALLEL LINE in June 2024 and SYNK : aeXIS LINE in August 2025. On opening night, the group once again delivered the commanding choreography, polished production and assured live vocals that have become central to its concerts.

Arriving in Seoul roughly a year after aespa launched its previous tour in the city, the new production brings the next chapter of the group’s singular universe to the stage, with its second full-length album, LEMONADE, at the center. The album debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 in June, earning aespa its third top 10 on the chart following Girls (No. 3, 2022) and MY WORLD (No. 9, 2023).

Across the show, aespa moved between new material and established fan favorites while expanding the visual language surrounding LEMONADE. Large-scale screens, sharp transitions and tightly constructed performance segments reinforced the group’s futuristic identity, while individual stages gave KARINA, GISELLE, WINTER and NINGNING room to establish distinct moods within the broader production.

Following its two-show run at Gocheok Sky Dome, aespa will head to Taipei as the tour continues across Latin America, North America and Europe. The trek is scheduled to run through February 2027, bringing the group’s latest era to arenas across multiple continents over the coming several months.
