Girl group aespa will kick off its second world tour in Seoul in June, the group's agency, SM Entertainment, said Thursday.

The "SYNK: Parallel Line" tour will begin with two gigs at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in southern Seoul on June 29-30 and continue to 13 other cities — the five Japanese cities of Fukuoka, Nagoya, Saitama, Osaka and Tokyo, as well as Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei, Jakarta, Bangkok, Sydney and Melbourne — until September.

The K-pop quartet has added two concerts at Tokyo Dome on Aug. 17-18 to the original schedule due to the high demand for tickets for its Japanese shows, according to the agency.

It added that the group is also preparing for a return to the local music scene next month. (Yonhap)
