The group aespa has continued the excitement of their fourth world tour by attracting over 34,000 spectators in South America. In Brazil, the group more than doubled their audience to 2.7 times the size of their first solo concert there three years ago, and in Chile, they filled all 13,000 seats in the arena.

On the 4th (local time), aespa met with more than 21,000 fans during their 2026-27 aespa Live Tour – Synk: Complexity in São Paulo at Mercado Livre Arena in Pacaembu, São Paulo, Brazil. Despite the existence of sections left unsold due to restricted views, and heavy rain on the day of the event, more than 20,000 people filled the venue.

This marks a 2.7-fold increase compared to the approximately 8,000 people aespa attracted for their first solo concert in Brazil in 2023. At that time, aespa sold out an 8,000-seat concert at Espaço Unimed in São Paulo. After three years, the venue was upgraded to a large outdoor arena and audience numbers more than doubled.

Local media also highlighted aespa’s elevated status. Leading Brazilian daily Folha de S.Paulo reported, “The 21,652 fans at this concert mark the second-highest audience for a K-pop girl group concert held in Brazil, following Twice.” The outlet praised aespa as “K-pop divas,” focusing on their high-level choreography performed in the rain despite the challenging weather, and noting this as a highlight of their return to Brazil after three years. Billboard Brazil also devoted significant coverage to the group’s performance amid torrential rain and cold temperatures, as well as to aespa’s expressions of gratitude to local fans.

During this concert, aespa performed their new songs “LEMONADE” and “WDA (Whole Different Animal),” along with hit tracks such as “Whiplash” and “Black Mamba.” Each member also graced the stage with solo performances, including Karina’s “16 Bit,” Winter’s “Saddle Up,” Giselle’s “BYEB4HELLO,” and Ningning’s “I Love You But I Gotta Let You Go.”

The excitement in South America continued in Chile. On the 6th (local time), aespa held a concert at Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, selling out all 13,000 seats. Compared to their first performance in Chile in 2023, which was at the 5,000-seat Teatro Caupolicán and also sold out, the group has expanded the scale of their show about 2.6 times in just three years. The 2023 concert in Chile also sold out completely.

Aespa’s fourth world tour, “Synk: Complexity,” began in August at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul and will span 25 cities across North America, South America, and Europe until February 2027. The expanded universe of their second full-length album, “LEMONADE,” is incorporated into the performances, where central themes like “CRACK (fissure)” are expressed through dynamic choreography, large-scale videos, and stage direction.

Aespa will continue their world tour on the 9th in Lima, Peru.
