NEWBEAT Heats Up Daegu and Busan with Nationwide Tour '2026 Drop the NEWBEAT: NEURO 1000 PROJECT'

NEWBEAT, the dynamic group consisting of Park Min-seok, Hong Min-seong, Jeon Yeo-jeong, Choi Seo-hyun, Kim Tae-yang, Jo Yoon-hoo, and Kim Ri-woo, has been making waves with their nationwide tour. The group, which debuted in March last year, recently set Daegu and Busan ablaze with their first nationwide tour concert, '2026 Drop the NEWBEAT: NEURO 1000 PROJECT'.

The concerts in Daegu on the 1st and Busan on the 8th featured a fresh lineup of cover songs, offering fans a new and exciting experience. The Daegu concert sold out immediately upon ticket release, showcasing the explosive interest in NEWBEAT.

The group kicked off the show with a dazzling performance of 'Flip the Coin', followed by hits like 'HICCUPS' and 'LOUD'. They also delivered high-energy cover performances of 'THRILL RIDE', 'Hero', 'Son Goku', and 'Fire', elevating the atmosphere.

The unit stages highlighted the members' unique charms. Park Min-seok, Hong Min-seong, Jeon Yeo-jeong, and Choi Seo-hyun showcased their hip appeal with 'TIC TOC', while Kim Tae-yang, Jo Yoon-hoo, and Kim Ri-woo impressed with their soulful vocals in 'Someone Like You'. Jeon Yeo-jeong and Choi Seo-hyun's unit performance of 'KICK&SNARE' further demonstrated the group's wide musical spectrum.

The Busan concert, held over two sessions, allowed for deeper interaction with fans. After the first session, NEWBEAT held a Hi-Bye event, and after the second, a 7-to-1 photo event, demonstrating their exceptional fan dedication. The concert concluded with EDM versions of 'JeLLo', 'Cappuccino', and 'Unbelievable', creating a festive atmosphere.

Through this tour in the Yeongnam region, NEWBEAT is closer to achieving their 'NEURO 1000 PROJECT' mission. The ambitious pledge involves meeting 1,000 fans during the tour to donate 10 million won, or else undertake a 1,000 km march. The members' sincere performances continue to draw enthusiastic support from fans.

Having successfully reached the midpoint of their nationwide tour, NEWBEAT is now heading to Seoul. They are set to hold encore concerts on the 14th and 15th, wrapping up the tour and meeting fans in the capital.
