The chart-blazing band watched sales of their latest album rock the charts and planned to celebrate its release by taking its songs on the road via the ‘Map of the Soul‘ tour.

Today they have been forced to postpone the trek following COVID-19 fears.

This tour involves the participation of staff and crew from around the world as well as global logistics systems. While there are certain countries, regions and cities where conditions have improved, including Korea, it is difficult to make the decision to begin the tour based on these recent developments. Due to the nature of BTS concerts involving travel by thousands of international fans no matter where the performances are held, it is also difficult to resume the tour with the current strict restrictions on cross-border movement still in place. Moreover, it is impossible at this time to predict when the first performance marking the start of the tour will be able to begin.

Therefore, we have made the difficult decision to suspend the previously-announced tour schedule and develop a new schedule.

New dates will be announced once the world has seen the worst of the Coronavirus cases.
