YOUNG POSSE Set to Shake New York City with Their First American Tour Stop at Queens Theatre
K-pop’s rising stars, YOUNG POSSE, are bringing their fierce hip-hop energy to New York City on Monday, October 21, as part of their inaugural U.S. tour. The five-member crew—SUNHYE, YEONJUNG, JIANA, DOEUN, and JIEUN—will light up Queens Theatre, showcasing their unique spin on Korean hip-hop and the raw talent that’s making waves across the globe.
As the youngest girl group in the K-pop industry, with an average age of just 16, YOUNG POSSE embodies ambition. Their name carries a dual meaning—“YOUNG” marking their youth and “POSSE,” rooted in the Latin term for “possible,” reflecting their mission to break boundaries and redefine what a K-pop girl group can achieve. And their next goal? Taking America by storm.
Since their debut in October 2023, YOUNG POSSE has been making noise as the only girl group in K-pop performing pure hip-hop—and the twist? They write all their own lyrics. Now, they’re bringing that lyrical prowess and electrifying energy to the U.S. on The Hungry Tour, which kicked off in Miami and winds through cities like Orlando, Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Seattle before closing out in the Pacific Northwest.
Fans attending the New York stop can expect a full-throttle performance featuring tracks from their latest EP ATE THAT, which debuted at #1 on the iTunes K-pop chart and landed at #32 on the Melon Hot 100. With hits like “Ate That” earning them the Best Music Video award at the K-World Dream Awards, the group has mastered the art of blending hard-hitting hip-hop beats with visual storytelling. The video, inspired by Grand Theft Auto, racked up over 30 million views within just nine days—another testament to their star power.
Audiences will also get a taste of YOUNG POSSE’s earlier work, including tracks from their previous EPs, XXL and Macaroni Cheese. Channeling the rebellious spirit of ’90s American hip-hop, their performances reimagine classic sounds with fresh choreography, setting them apart from the typical K-pop fare.
Already crowned as “Hot Potential” winners at The Fact Music Awards and recently becoming the youngest models for MURASAKI SPORTS in Japan, YOUNG POSSE are proving their versatility extends beyond the stage. But it’s the raw, unfiltered energy of their live shows that’s truly cementing their reputation as trailblazers.
Brace yourself, New York—YOUNG POSSE’s arrival promises a night of unstoppable energy, undeniable talent, and a glimpse of the future of K-pop. The countdown to October 21 is on, and this is a show you won’t want to miss. Check out “Ate That” below:
