Global pop star The Weeknd's 'Hyundai Card Super Concert' sold out in 35 minutes.

Hyundai Card announced on the 21st that all seats for 'Hyundai Card Super Concert 28 The Weeknd' have sold out.

The 'Hyundai Card Super Concert,' which returns after three years, is drawing significant attention as The Weeknd, who first visited Korea in 2018 through the Hyundai Card Culture Project, has grown into a global mega pop star and is meeting Korean audiences once again. This performance is the third 100,000-seat concert in the history of the Hyundai Card Super Concert, following Coldplay in 2017 and Bruno Mars in 2023.

Ticket sales were conducted in two rounds: one for Hyundai Card members and one for the general public. The presale for Hyundai Card members, which began at 12 p.m. on the 20th, sold out in just 40 minutes at 12:40 p.m. The general sale, which started at 12 p.m. on the 21st, also sold out in 35 minutes. The maximum number of simultaneous connections reached 1.3 million, demonstrating The Weeknd's influence as the most influential global pop star of the 21st century.

The 'Hyundai Card Super Concert 28 The Weeknd' is scheduled to be held over two days on October 7 and 8 at Goyang Stadium.

The 'Hyundai Card Super Concert' is Hyundai Card's flagship cultural marketing brand, launched in 2007, and has elevated the level of domestic performance culture by featuring world-class artists such as Beyoncé, Paul McCartney, Coldplay, and Bruno Mars.

The Weeknd is recognized as a representative artist who brought the 'alternative R&B' genre, which combines R&B with hip-hop and electronic elements, into the mainstream of popular music. In particular, he has proven his global influence by setting various records in the music streaming field.

In 2023, The Weeknd became the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 100 million monthly listeners. Additionally, his hit song 'Blinding Lights' became the first song in Spotify history to reach 5 billion streams in August last year, earning a place in the Guinness World Records.

This performance is part of The Weeknd's 'After Hours Til Dawn' stadium tour. Since its launch in July 2022, the tour has recorded a total of 153 concerts and approximately 7.5 million cumulative attendees, continuing to achieve the highest level of box office success among male solo artists in history.

In particular, this stage marks The Weeknd's second performance for Korean fans. He first met domestic fans in 2018 through the Hyundai Card Culture Project. While he presented a musical world that reinterpreted the R&B genre at that time, he is expected to showcase expanded music and performance as an artist representing the global pop market in this concert. Additionally, the popular Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts will take the opening stage to further boost the excitement of the performance.
