NEWBEAT kicked off their nationwide tour in spectacular fashion.
The group NEWBEAT (NEWBEAT, Park Min-seok·Hong Min-seong·Jeon Yeo-yeo-jeong·Choi Seo-hyun·Kim Tae-yang·Jo Yun-hoo·Kim Ri-woo) held their first nationwide tour concert '2026 Drop the NEWBEAT : NEURO 1000 PROJECT' (Drop the NEWBEAT Neuro 1000 Project) in Suwon on the 15th and in Daejeon on the 22nd and met with fans.
The show opened with a powerful start with the title track from their first full-length album, 'Flip the Coin', and ramped up the audience's fervor to its peak with energetic performances of 'HICCUPS', 'LOUD' and 'Look So Good'.
They followed with a diverse cover medley that captivated fans, including RIIZE's 'Siren', ATEEZ's 'Michin Pom' and 'BOUNCY', BTS' 'Not Today' and 'Fire', and The Boyz's 'THRILL RIDE'.
The unit stages that showcased the members' distinct personalities also drew attention. Park Min-seok·Hong Min-seong·Jeon Yeo-yeo-jeong·Choi Seo-hyun presented a hip 'TIC TOC' unit, while Kim Tae-yang·Jo Yun-hoo·Kim Ri-woo offered a sweet 'Someone Like You' performance, each presenting different charms. Also, Jeon Yeo-yeo-jeong and Choi Seo-hyun's unit track 'KICK&SNARE' featured powerful rapping. Toward the end of the concert, an EDM version of 'JeLLo(힘숨찐)' and 'Cappuccino' completed the festive atmosphere.
Through this tour, NEWBEAT launched the 'Neuro 1000 Project', which involves meeting 1,000 fans in person. With a dramatic pledge of donating 10 million won if successful and marching 1,000 km if unsuccessful, the members immediately held a busking session after the concert, showing remarkable boldness. In particular, a busking video filmed in Suwon exploded in views on TikTok in Mexico, drawing responses from global fans.
Meanwhile, NEWBEAT will continue the nationwide tour in Daegu on March 1 and Busan on March 8. They will also hold encore concerts in Seoul on March 14 and 15 to conclude the tour.
