Boy band Treasure will host a meet and greet at the Tokyo Dome on Nov. 12, according to its management YG Entertainment on Friday.

The news follows after the band's second full-length album "Reboot" became its first million-seller, selling more than 1.71 million copies and topping Circle Chart's album sales chart.

The event, titled "2023 Treasure Fan Meeting ~Hello Again~ Tokyo Dome Special," is part of Treasure's first fan meet and greet tour since it officially debuted in the Japanese market in March 2021.

This makes Treasure the first Korean artist to enter the Tokyo Dome for a fan meet. Performing at the Tokyo Dome, one of Japan's most prominent venues, is a milestone for an artist in the Japanese music industry.

In total, Treasure will tour five cities for a total of 20 fan meet and greets, including a special mini-concert at the Tokyo Dome. It kicks off on Sept. 2 in Fukuoka and has a grand finale at the Tokyo Dome on Nov. 12. All previous sessions before Nov. 12 have already sold out.

Treasure debuted in February 2020 as the fourth boy band from YG Entertainment.

The band debuted through an audition program aired on JTBC2, "YG Treasure Box," in 2018. The agency initially planned to debut two bands — as it did with boy bands Winner and iKON in 2013 — named Treasure and Magnum. But it decided later to roll out just one band with 12 members.

Treasure currently consists of 10 members: Choi Hyun-suk, Jihoon, Yoshi, Junkyu, Yoon Jae-hyuk, Asahi, Haruto, Doyoung, Park Jeong-woo and So Jung-hwan. Members Mashiho and Bang Ye-dam left the band in November 2022.
