CLOSE YOUR EYES Embarks on First North American Tour: Rising K-Pop Rookies Bring Fresh Energy Stateside

Rising K-pop boy group CLOSE YOUR EYES is making waves with the announcement of their inaugural North American tour, titled BEYOND YOUR EYES. The group, which formed during JTBC’s 2024 Project 7 survival show and officially debuted in April 2025 with the mini-album Eternalt, will kick things off on October 21 in Atlanta, Georgia. The tour will sweep through major cities including Phoenix, Los Angeles, Dallas, Orlando, Chicago, New York, and Toronto, wrapping up on November 4.

This marks a significant milestone for the seven-member rookie group, who have quickly built a dedicated international following through their dynamic performances and genre-blending sound. Their latest single, OVEREXPOSED, which features the infectious baile funk track POSE, has been generating major buzz. The song is now available in a Spanish version as well, reflecting the group’s push to connect with broader Latin American and global audiences.

Fans are already flooding social media with excitement. Playlist streams for the new track have surged, and many are brainstorming creative Halloween-themed concepts for the Chicago stop perfectly timed with the spooky season. “This tour feels like a dream come true,” one fan shared on social platforms. “After waiting since their debut, finally seeing them live in North America is everything.
However, not all the chatter is purely celebratory. Some fans have voiced concerns about the relatively packed schedule, especially following main dancer Jang Yeojun’s earlier battle with rhabdomyolysis, a serious muscle condition that requires careful recovery and ongoing monitoring. The group’s agency has not issued additional comments on health accommodations, but supporters are hoping the tight itinerary allows sufficient rest between shows.
For a group still in their early career phase, securing a multi-city North American run this quickly signals strong momentum and label confidence. CLOSE YOUR EYES blends sharp choreography, youthful charisma, and experimental sounds, positioning them as one of the most promising fourth-generation K-pop acts to watch.
Tickets are expected to go on sale soon. As anticipation builds, the tour promises not just performances, but a deeper connection between the rising stars and their growing global fanbase proving that even fresh rookies can dream big and deliver.
