FIFTY FIFTY successfully wrapped up its first U.S. tour, "LOVE SPRINKLE TOUR in USA," with a concert in New York on the 16th (local time).

Starting on the 28th of last month in San Francisco, FIFTY FIFTY toured eight U.S. cities, meeting global fans. They showcased a high-quality performance with flawless live stages and diverse acts, earning rave reviews from local media.

Notably, the newly restructured five-member lineup presented special stages unique to the tour, including new songs revealed for the first time and members’ solo performances, which drew praise.

Furthermore, the members prepared several songs in English to help local fans enjoy the performances even more. The tour also featured the first live performance of their winter seasonal song "Winter Glow" and their mega-hit "Cupid," which made Billboard history, delighting the audience.

Member Kina said, "Through this tour, my love for music has grown even more. I want to remember this sparkling moment on stage forever." Chanel shared her excitement, saying, "When I first heard we’d be touring in the U.S., I kept thinking, 'This can’t be a dream,' until I got on the plane. Thanks to our fandom, Twenny, it became a dream-like experience."

Yewon reflected, "At first, I was nervous, and it wasn’t easy to adjust to a new environment. But meeting Twenny in the U.S. was truly a unique experience."

Hana shared, "Seeing the happy faces of Twenny made me forget my nerves and fully enjoy the stage. It’s a memory I want to cherish forever."

Finally, Athena expressed her gratitude and determination, saying, "I’m so thankful to have performed on such a great stage. Next year, I want to perform in even more countries, including Sweden."

Meanwhile, after completing the tour, FIFTY FIFTY plans to conclude their local promotions in New York before returning to Korea.

The audience looks so small, wonder if they really broke even. I heard NJ barely even broke even with their Tokyo Dome concert so it must be very hard for groups like Fifty Fifty.

I'm not sure who said that about NewJeans, but how could you not break even with a sold out Tokyo Dome? They made a huge profit for sure!

Fifty FIfty on the other hand only held concerts in small venues with 500-2000 capacity, they could not sell out any of them as far as I know, it's hard to say if they could break even under those conditions. I just hope they did not make a big loss

Looks very similar to one of the Dreamcatcher stops I went to. These smaller groups can do just fine touring (DC is one of the most successful at it) by picking correct venue size and pricing correctly.

I just wonder if the group / agency has much say in those pricing decisions? I heared when it's done via MMT as it was for Fifty Fifty, those decide the prices

I'm not sure, but I think their CEO is smart enough to not sign a contract that would just bleed them money.

I just saw people say that on other platforms about MMT, personally I thought maybe the prices are a bit too high, at least they seemed similiar to what I saw from other way bigger groups, but not sure about that

I hope you are right, but che CEO also made mistakes in the past

Fair enough, but I always figure, let the companies worry about money. It's very possible for small and midsize groups to make money and exist for a long time. Look at KARD or U-KISS.

yeah sure

I think I'm worried because they are not moving like a small group at all with all their activities, M/Vs / Special Clips, YT shows and so on they are doing, that must put a lot a preassure on the group to also earn lots of moneys But I hope you are right and Moguri is just a scaredy cat!
