ENHYPEN held a concert at LA’s BMO Stadium, the new home ground of Son Heung Min.
To celebrate the group’s arrival at the stadium, LAFC, Son Heung Min’s club, quickly joined in. On August 18 KST, LAFC posted photos from ENHYPEN’s concert on its official social media, surpassing 15,000 likes within three hours. Particularly striking was a shot of all seven members holding up Son’s No. 7 jersey — an item that has become nearly impossible to purchase due to overwhelming demand — which added to the buzz.
BMO Stadium, Son Heung Min’s new home base, has quickly become both a key West Coast hub and a new landmark venue for K-pop artists. Before ENHYPEN, BTS’s J-Hope performed his solo concert there this past April.
ENHYPEN’s status as a rising concert powerhouse was confirmed with yet another sellout. With a maximum capacity of around 22,000, the LA stadium was packed. Across their North American tour — which included six shows in New York, Chicago, Houston, and LA — the group drew a total audience of 77,000 fans.
ENHYPEN’s soaring popularity in North America can also be seen through their Billboard results. Their sixth mini album "DESIRE : UNLEASH", released in June, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. With this album, they extended their streak of Top 10 entries on the chart to five consecutive releases.
After wrapping up their North American tour with the milestone BMO Stadium concert, ENHYPEN will now head to Europe for a string of shows in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and France. Their London concert on August 22 will take place at the O2 Arena, the same venue that hosted last year’s League of Legends World Championship final.
