ARTMS' Choerry and JinSoul tease next moves as 'Art of BLUE BLOOD' tour hits North America

"Start" — and 10 cities to prove it

One word. One photo. One caption. Choerry (최예림) posted "Start" on Instagram October 10 while ARTMS was already mid-tour.

The group launched their Art of BLUE BLOOD world tour in September, opening in Seoul before heading to North America and Europe. October's North American leg hits 10 cities: Toronto, New York, Orlando, Grande Prairie, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle, and Vancouver.

JinSoul (정진솔, 29) posted a behind-the-scenes shot on October 9. Dark lighting, wall poster in the background, taken at a performance venue. The timing lines up.

The album that sent them on the road

The tour follows Hyper-Ego, ARTMS's second mini album, released in August 2026. Their first group comeback in approximately one year and two months. Double title tracks Born Stunner and Blue Blood led the charge.

Before Hyper-Ego came the regular album Dall, single album BURN, mini album Club Icarus, project single Ring of Chaos, and a run of pre-release singles: Pre1 : Birth, Pre2 : Flower Rhythm, Pre3 : Candy Crush, Pre4 : Air. Digital single The Carol 3.0 rounded it out.

Two members, two long roads to this stage

Both Choerry and JinSoul trace back to the 이달의 소녀 (LOONA) project in 2017. Choerry debuted via project single Choerry that year, then joined ODD EYE CIRCLE. She first attempted rap on album track Starlight and took rap parts in Sweet Crazy Love. She also appeared as a vocalist on duet track YOU.

JinSoul launched with LOONA's 7th project single JinSoul in 2017. She introduced a husky R&B tone on Singing in the Rain, then joined ODD EYE CIRCLE's mini album Mix&Match the same year. Composer Chu Dae-gwan of Monotree has said of her: "She is a vocalist with a tone that is strong in adapting to change and blends well into any concept."

JinSoul nearly went into science. Top math grades in school. She made a bet to raise her scores so she could attend a practical music academy instead, and music won.

Choerry's "Start" post doesn't name a project. The tour runs through October. The group is nine years deep into their combined discography. What comes next is worth watching.
