Everything seems to indicate that the dates of this tour could be revealed in mid-January. BTS has activated an official website with a countdown that predicts a large-scale display for their return to the stage after almost five years without performing.. It will be the first major reunion with his fans in large stadiums since before the pandemic and his temporary separation to fulfill his military obligations.

Specialized media are already anticipating that it could become one of the most lucrative tours of the decade, driven by the enormous accumulated demand and the renewed interest in the group after their reunion.

This work will be the first with new material (already released a live album) that BTS debuts as a group from Proof, the album released in June 2022 which served as a symbolic closing of a stage. From that moment on, the band decided to reduce their collective activity so that its members could fulfill their mandatory military service in South Korea and, at the same time, explore new artistic paths alone. For almost four years, the group had not presented new joint material, which fueled the expectation surrounding their eventual return.

March 20 will mark the group's recording comeback. But it will be the announcement of the tour, now imminent, that will definitively confirm that BTS returns to the stage ready to regain its place as one of the biggest musical phenomena on the planet.
