Boy Band and Hypen kicked off their Blood Saga World Tour at KSPO Dome in Southern Seoul, with three sold-out shows expected to draw about 32,000 attendees. The tour marks the group's first major outing as a six-member act, following former member He Sung's departure in March to pursue a solo career under the name Evan. Member Jake told journalists they've given everything to this tour, saying it truly bears their soul as they navigate this new chapter. The concert featured a dramatic, 24-song set list centered around the group's vampire fantasy narrative, with the show opening as a towering red velvet curtain dropped to reveal the members portrayed as fugitive vampires. And Hypen will perform 32 shows across 21 cities, including the group's first ever South American tour leg.
