The concerts, spanning two-and-a-half hours on August 7 and 8, attracted 35,000 people in total. The show, titled SYNK: COMPLÉXITY, featured 27 songs and five chapters: singularity, intrusion, confinement, awakening, and resolution. New tracks from their album LEMONADE, which debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, were interspersed with popular hits, solo performances, and a series of visually stunning segments. aespa's unique blend of hard-edged pop, unexpected sweetness, and digital imagery was evident throughout the show, with the Seoul performance particularly notable for its effective use of these contrasting elements.",
