Group CLOSE YOUR EYES has proven its strong ticket power by selling out all seats for its fan concert in Seoul this November.

Agency Uncore announced that all three Seoul performances of the fan concert 'Born to Be an Idol, But I Want to Date CLOZER,' featuring Jeon Min-wook, Ma Jing-xiang, Seong Jeong-hyun... (corrected: Jang Yeo-jun), Kim Sung-min, Song Seung-ho, Kenshin, and Seo Kyung-bae, have been sold out. The concerts will be held from November 20 to 22 at the Woori Bank Hall in COEX Artium in Seoul, followed by a meeting with local fans on November 28 at the Shinjuku Culture Center in Tokyo, Japan.

The concert's title and concept were planned to evoke a dating program, drawing high interest from fans from the moment of announcement. The members released individual posters transforming into various occupations and characters, including a bestselling author, an exotic-animal veterinarian, a barista, a flight attendant, a rapper, a part-timer at a mandu shop, and a physical education student, generating buzz. Introductory taglines connected to each member's personality added to the feel of an actual dating program.

The group is also showing strong momentum in album sales. CLOSE YOUR EYES recorded 710,000 copies in first-week sales with its fourth mini album '256th Note,' released on the 30th of last month, setting a new personal best. Its cumulative album sales have surpassed 1.9 million copies. The combination of growing album sales and the complete sellout of the fan concert has once again demonstrated the group's solid fandom.

The group's award streak continues as well. It received numerous honors in 2025, including the 'K World Dream New Vision Award' at the 2025 K World Dream Awards, 'Male Idol (Rookie) of the Year' at the Brand of the Year Awards, 'Hottest' at THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS, the 'New Wave Artist Award' at TikTok Awards 2025, the 'IS Rookie Award' at the Korea Grand Music Awards, and the 'K-POP Award' at the 33rd Korea Culture and Entertainment Awards. In 2026, it has continued racking up wins, including 'Golden Choice' at the 40th Golden Disc Awards, 'The Awards Dreams Silver Label' at the 2nd D AWARDS, 'Rookie Award' at the 35th Seoul Music Awards, 'Next Generation' at the 2026 SPOTV K-POP AWARDS, and the 'Global Hot Trend Award' at the 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS.
