The male trainee team SMTR25 (from SM ENTERTAINMENT) proved its powerful ticket-selling ability by selling out its May fan meeting in Seoul.
The first fan meeting of SMTR25, ““Reply High School” Fan Meeting Tour – Graduation Trip in SEOUL” (“리플라이 하이 스쿨” 팬미팅 투어 – 그레듀에이션 트립 인 서울), which will be held on May 2 and 3 at the Olympic Hall of the Olympic Park in Seoul, recorded no fewer than 74,000 simultaneous connections at the time ticket sales opened, and both sessions were completely sold out. Considering that SMTR25 is still a trainee team even before its official debut, this is a very unusual figure, making it possible to feel the burning popularity of these members who have already formed a solid core fandom.
Carried by the enthusiastic response of fans, SMTR25 decided to add an additional performance on May 1, and ticket reservations for this extra session will be available on March 11 at 8 PM KST via Melon Ticket.
This fan meeting will take place under a concept in which the members of SMTR25 appearing in “응답하라 하이스쿨”, namely HANBI, SONGHA, DANIEL, HYUNJUN, HAMIN, JAEWON, WOOLIN, NICHOLAS, KASSHO, JUSTIN, HARUTA, SADAHARU, CHARLIE, KACHIN, TATA, finish their life within the fictional school “Ujeong High School” in the program and leave together for a graduation trip. The event will begin in Seoul and then continue successively on May 24 at Yokohama Pacifico in Yokohama, Japan, and on May 30 at the Thunder Dome in Bangkok.
Meanwhile, “Reply High School (응답하라 하이스쿨)” is a time-slip concept entertainment reality show in which SMTR25 enters “Ujeong High School” and directly discovers K-culture from the 1990s to the 2010s in order to find the answer to their debut. The program airs every Friday at 8:20 PM on MNET and Mnet Plus.
