aespa has officially announced their third world tour, titled 2025 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK: aeXIS LINE –. On June 10 at 2 PM, the group revealed the tour’s logo poster through their official social media channels. The tour will kick off with a three-day performance in Seoul from August 29 to 31 at the KSPO Dome in Olympic Park. With all seats sold out—including restricted-view seats—for their previous Seoul encore concert in March, intense ticket competition is expected once again.
aespa Joins World Tour to Celebrate Five Years
Alongside their global tour announcement, aespa shared details of their upcoming Japan arena tour. Beginning October 4 in Fukuoka, the group will perform ten shows across four cities, including Tokyo, Aichi, and Osaka. This tour marks aespa’s fifth debut anniversary and signals an active year of celebrations and events. The group’s expanding schedule is a testament to their rising global influence and growing fanbase.
New Single ‘Dirty Work’ Set to Release
aespa is also gearing up for a comeback with their new single Dirty Work, set to release on June 27 at 1 PM through various music platforms. The title track will be available in multiple versions, including an English version and instrumental. Dirty Work is a hip-hop dance song, highlighted by a catchy synth bassline and cool vocal melodies. The lyrics promote confidence and individuality, showing a more relaxed and chill side of aespa compared to their previous bold image.
Performance Preview and Album Release
A performance video of Dirty Work was unveiled on June 9 via YouTube and SNS channels. It offered fans a glimpse of the fierce track and the group’s sultry, dynamic choreography. This sneak peek quickly gained attention online. The single will also be released as a physical album, including the title and instrumental tracks. Pre-orders are already open at online and offline music retailers.
Fans Voice Concerns Over aespa World Tour Schedule
Despite the excitement, some fans have raised concerns about the group’s increasingly packed schedule. On Korean community forums like Nate Pann, users pointed out that aespa had just completed the SYNK: PARALLEL LINE – ENCORE tour on March 16. Starting a new tour less than six months later could push the members to exhaustion. In addition to the tour and single, they are expected to release a mini album, prepare new solo performances, and fulfill personal and international engagements. With the upcoming SM Entertainment concert also on the horizon, fans worry that the overloaded calendar may affect the group’s health and the overall quality of their performances.

It’s only been 3 months since aespa’s last world tour ended, so planning a new one already seems a bit soon. Fans who get to see aespa perform again might be happy, but the girls’ stamina is the real issue here.”
