Group NewJeans is opening limited-view seats for the Tokyo Dome fan meeting thanks to its huge popularity in Japan.
New Jeans (Minzy, Hani, Daniel, Haerin, Hyein) will hold 'Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome' at Tokyo Dome for two days on the 26th and 27th. Even though this fan meeting was held on a weekday, tickets for all sessions were sold out early.
ADOR, the agency, said, “As all tickets were sold out, we received a flood of requests for additional performances and related inquiries,” adding, “We decided to open limited-view seats to repay the support of local fans.”
Tickets for restricted-view seats for ‘Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome’ can be purchased at Ticketpia from 10 a.m. on this day. Ticket sales are available for general as well as for fan clubs.
New Jeans heralded a music festival that was more than just a fan meeting with a rich set list and colorful stages. After producer 250's opening DJ performance, New Jeans will perform a parade of over 20 hit songs for about 150 minutes. In addition to the members' solo stages, special guests Japanese mixed duo YOASOBI and singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama are also raising expectations.
New Jeans, who recently released their Japanese debut single 'Supernatural', is proving their popularity by achieving positive results on major charts. The 'Supernatural' album went straight to No. 1 on the Oricon Daily Singles ranking on the day of release (the 21st) and maintained the crown for three consecutive days, and the title song of the same name also topped the Japanese Line Music daily chart (as of the 22nd-24th).
Not only new songs but also existing songs are still popular. According to the Recording Industry Association of Japan on the 25th, New Genes' 'Super Shy' and 'ETA' achieved 'Platinum' certification by exceeding 100 million cumulative plays as of May 2024. With this, New Jeans increased the number of songs certified as 'Platinum' by the Recording Industry Association of Japan to five, following 'Ditto' (May 2023), 'OMG' (July 2023), and 'Hype Boy' (August 2023).
'Super Shy' and 'ETA' hit domestic and international charts as soon as they were released in July last year. The two songs swept first and second place on major domestic music charts and gained great popularity by appearing on the US Billboard main song chart 'Hot 100'. The second EP 'Get Up' containing these songs topped Billboard's main album chart, 'Billboard 200', and successfully stayed on the chart for 26 consecutive weeks, setting a tie record for the longest run by a K-pop girl group.
