BTS, a worldwide recognised pop band, hasn’t played a live performance in over a year, like many other musicians. The Korean boy band, however, announced their comeback to the stage this week, exciting fans all around the world. BTS will begin their “Permission to Dance” tour in November in Los Angeles.
On Monday, the group released a YouTube video in which members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook conveyed the news with their “BTS Army” fans.
Starting in April 2020, the group was slated to embark on their “Map of the Soul” tour, which would see them play in 38 concerts in Asia, North America, and Europe. According to Entertainment Tonight, the tour was postponed to 2021 then cancelled last month because to the epidemic.
Big Hit, the organisation that oversees BTS, stated in an August statement, “Our team has worked hard to continue preparations for the BTS MAP OF THE SOUL TOUR, knowing that all fans have been waiting anxiously and long for the tour.” “However, due to unforeseen circumstances, it has become difficult to resume performances on the same size and timeframe as previously scheduled. As a result, we are forced to cancel the BTS Map of the Soul Tour.”
Travel from South Korea, where the band is from, is not banned by the United States, but it is classified as level two, which means that visitors must quarantine for 14 days after landing in the United States. According to the LA County public health agency, the positive rate in Los Angeles is barely 1.1 percent as of this week, and evidence of vaccination is required in many locations.
