GHOST9 Dominates The Stage During Four-stop U.S. Tour , Becomes First K-pop Group To Perform NCAA Halftime Show In Front Of 10,000 Fans

Hailed by Celebmix as “the next mainstream K-pop stars,” GHOST9 (consisting of members Junhyung, Shin, Kangsung, Junseong, Prince, Woojin and Jinwoo) has successfully wrapped up four-stop “<INTO THE NOW>,” meeting thousands of fans on the U.S. coasts and making history by setting records for K-pop firsts.

Displaying GHOST9’s diverse musicality in their first year after debut, “<INTO THE NOW>,” which began in Los Angeles on January 15 and concluded in Boston on January 27, marked the return of K-pop to the U.S. 2022 is already shaping up to be a breakout year for septet, who have safely returned to Korea today after three weeks of promotional activities, including sold out VIP experiences and in-person fansigns.

 

 

Highlights from the record-breaking tour also include:

–  Successfully staging a halftime performance during a men’s basketball game in front of 10,000 fans in support of UCLA Bruins, one of the most decorated collegiate teams in history. The performance – which was deemed “electrifying” and earned GHOST9 the title of “super rookies” by the in-game hosts – was a first for K-pop for the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association).

– Performing atop the Empire State Building after-hours, becoming the first musical act to showcase a full dance choreography on its iconic 86th floor observatory deck.

– Collaborating with 11 influencer megastars with a combined 63 million following, including JEENIE (11 million total followers), Steven Ho (12 million total followers) and Splashtwinz (12 million total followers). The resulting content collaborations have already generated more than 21 million organic views, solidifying a viral moment for the 7-member band.

 

“We are really grateful to have the opportunity to perform in front of U.S. fans for the first time, in” says GHOST9, “We don’t know when yet, but we’ll definitely be back, so please look forward to it.”

 

 

Having debuted in September of 2020, GHOST9 is already proving to be a formidable force, generating nearly 50 million views across 5 music video releases and catching the attention of fans worldwide. Most recently, they wrapped up three-part mini-album series “NOW,” a colorful musical journey that explored the group’s artistry. “Up All Night,” a title track from the series, was named one of TIDAL’s “The Best of K-Pop” in 2021.
