BAEKHYUN Wraps Up First Solo U.S. Tour 'Reverie' with Resounding Success — Forbes: "A Devoted Professional Superstar"

[더파워 이경호 기자] BAEKHYUN, a member of the K-pop group EXO and a solo artist, has successfully completed the U.S. leg of his first-ever solo world tour, 2025 BAEKHYUN WORLD TOUR 'Reverie'.

Starting on June 24 (local time) in New York, BAEKHYUN brought his tour to six major U.S. cities—Chicago, Houston, Seattle, Oakland, and Los Angeles—captivating local fans with his live vocals and dynamic stage performances. Each stop drew enthusiastic crowds, and every show was met with overwhelming support.

The final show, held on July 6 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, sold out, prompting organizers to release additional seats to meet demand.

Throughout the tour, BAEKHYUN delivered fan-favorite hits such as Pineapple Slice, Bambi, UN Village, and Candy, as well as tracks from his fifth mini album Essence of Reverie released in May, including Chocolate, Lemonade, and the title track Elevator. The diverse setlist allowed fans to experience both his musical evolution and onstage charisma firsthand.

Following his tour kickoff in New York, U.S. business magazine Forbes spotlighted BAEKHYUN’s performance with high praise. The outlet wrote, “More than anything, it was his heartfelt sincerity that stood out—as he marks a significant and new milestone in his career over 10 years after debut, committing himself fully to becoming a professional superstar.”

U.S. weekly People magazine also lauded the singer, commenting, “BAEKHYUN is entering a new phase of his already successful career, continually challenging himself as an artist,” and adding, “Music will forever be an integral part of his life—any alternative is simply unimaginable.”

More than just a concert series, this U.S. tour marks a pivotal moment in BAEKHYUN’s solo career, signaling his official expansion into the American market. In conjunction with his album release in May, BAEKHYUN launched localized promotions across major U.S. cities, including offline pop-up stores and digital billboard campaigns, fostering deeper engagement with his international fanbase. This multi-faceted approach has left a lasting impression and set the stage for greater global momentum.

With the U.S. leg now complete, BAEKHYUN is set to continue his Reverie world tour in Berlin, Germany on July 13.
