Ghost9 brought their highly anticipated newest tour, The New Midnight, to the vibrant city of Chicago, specifically to the renowned Distro Music Hall, a venue known for hosting a variety of musical acts and creating an electric atmosphere for live performances. The excitement in the air was palpable as fans gathered, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their beloved K-Pop septet.
The K-Pop group, Ghost9, is composed of seven talented members: Junhyung, Shin, Kangsung, Junseong, Prince, Woojin, and Jinwoo. They made their official debut in 2020 with their captivating track “Think of Dawn,” which quickly garnered attention and praise within the K-Pop community. Since that momentous debut, the group has impressively released a total of seven mini-albums and two singles, showcasing their growth and versatility as artists. With The New Midnight, fans, affectionately known as Ghosties, were treated to a spectacular event, marking the group’s much-anticipated return to the United States after their brief tour in 2022. In a bid to expand their reach and connect with a broader audience, 2024 saw the members creatively engage fans through social media, particularly with member Prince’s entertaining TikTok videos that humorously chronicled his budget meals from 7/11, adding a relatable and personal touch to their interactions.
Prior to their Chicago performance, the boys of Ghost9 had already made stops in major cities such as Los Angeles, Dallas, and Atlanta, where they met with enthusiastic fans who were eager to show their support. The tour, The New Midnight, not only included exhilarating concerts but also provided unique opportunities for fans to connect with their idols on a personal level. VIP ticket holders were especially fortunate, enjoying exclusive experiences such as photo opportunities, fansign events, and various interactive segments that allowed them to engage directly with their favorite members, creating unforgettable memories.
