GOT7's Yugyeom plans 1st solo tour in Germany, fans say 'that's so random'

'Yugyeom touring in Germany is as random as Bambam being an NBA team ambassador,' said one Ahgase

With K-pop dominating the globe, more and more brands and even countries are trying to invest in South Korea’s pop culture. We have the likes of McDonald’s and Louis Vuitton to NBA’s Golden State Warriors and the MET Gala acknowledging and teaming up with K-pop idols. Indonesia hosted their first exclusive K-pop award show while Coachella has had a K-pop lineup since 2016. And now Germany has become the latest hotbed for European K-pop events.

At the end of 2021, it was announced that Germany would be hosting KPop.Flex, Europe’s first and largest K-pop concert in May. Tickets were sold out immediately as the lineup consists of K-pop giants like Monsta X, Enhypen, EXO’s Kai, Mamamoo and NCT Dream. While it is being held in Frankfurt on May 14, we have another idol performing for fans on the same time. After Yugyeom’s mother spoiled his comeback date, it was reported that the GOT7 star would be touring in Germany.

Yugyeom to tour in Germany

On February 7, Jin Entertainment, an event organizer shared that Yugyeom would be having his first solo tour in Germany this May. Other artists like Crayon 88 hyped it up, confirming the tour for fans. This will be the GOT7 star’s first tour as a soloist. Previously, he was supposed to perform at ‘Music Bank’ in Dubai in 2020 with GOT7's leader JayB before it got canceled due to the pandemic. Fans are excited for Yugyeom’s Germany tour as he is supposedly releasing new music in March and so fans will get to watch him perform it live in May.

‘Guess I’m flying to Germany’

Fans were excited, as well as surprised by the announcement as they took to Twitter to make tweets like, “Yugyeom germany…? literally the most random thing ever but okay,” and “Yugyeom touring in Germany is as random as Bambam being an NBA team ambassador.” One Ahgase posted, “Yugyeom’s mom spoiling yugyeom’s march comeback, bald dalkyum enlisting, and now yugyeom germany concert?! all there is left to do is to wait for yugyeom to breath and confirm all of this.” 

Another fan shared, “German Ahgases/Dandelions y’all will probably see this Yugyeom wildin’ on stage.” One joked, “Guys dont throw bras at yugyeom in germany hes gonna get culture shock.” Another Ahgase wondered, “Ok but what if yugyeom performs no one else.” One added, “I guess Im flying to Germany then.” Another skeptical fan commented, “This so sus pls we need the label and yg to confirm this.” One Ahgase said, “I need more information ASAP! I'm freaking out here. This gonna be the best year for German fans. First Kpop Flex and now Yugyeom.”
