The "Brazil Hallyu Expo 2019" Newkid fan signing event, which was followed by the pre-opening event, proved Newkid’s extraordinary popularity in Brazil, a South American Korean Wave hub, with some 100,000 people flocking to down the server. Local media also showed great interest, with local broadcaster Kazeta appearing on live TV and Rede TV broadcasts.

Newkid, which gained popularity by entering South America two months after its debut, expanded its South American fandom to become the next-generation Korean Wave idol, starting with the opening ceremony of the "Korean Wave Expo 2019" in Brazil and hosting the " Newkid LATIN TOUR 2019" linking Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina from July 9 to 17.
