Ephemeral Gaze was the sixth concert tour by South Korean singer Taemin, in support of his fifth Korean EP, Eternal. It began on August 31, 2024, in Incheon, South Korea, and concluded on April 27, 2025, in Seoul. It was Taemin's first world tour, spanning shows across Asia, South America, North America and Europe.
Taemin's contract with his agency, SM Entertainment, expired in March 2024.[1] He signed a new contract with BPM Entertainment for his solo promotions.[2] At a fan meeting in July, he announced the release of his fifth EP, Eternal, and revealed that he was planning to embark on his first world tour as a soloist.[3] Taemin said in an interview that he had wanted to go on a world tour since first aspiring to become a singer.[4] On July 19, BPM announced through social media that Taemin would commence his tour, titled Ephemeral Gaze, on August 31, beginning with concerts in Incheon and continuing to various locations across Asia. They said the title was chosen to reflect a performance in which Taemin remains himself despite the varying perspectives of others.[5] At the Incheon shows, Taemin performed songs from Eternal, as well as past releases such as "Move", "Criminal", "Advice" and "Guilty".[6]
On November 1, BPM announced dates for the South American, North American and European legs, covering 14 cities in 10 countries.[7] The North American leg was conducted in collaboration with entertainment technology company Knowmerce.[8] Tickets for the North American concerts went on sale on December 15 and sold out instantly. The South American and European concerts also sold out.[9] Additional tickets for the Houston and Los Angeles concerts went on sale on December 21 to accommodate demand.[10] In January 2025, BPM announced extra stops in Brussels, Manchester and Honolulu, as well as encore concerts in Japan.[11] The tour concluded with shows at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul.[12]
