K-pop superstars BTS have postponed the North American leg of their tour due to the coronavirus outbreak. The group had been set to kick off the tour on April 25 in Santa Clara, California, before finishing in Chicago, Illinois, on June 6.
However, BTS’s label Big Hit Entertainment said the dates have been postponed and will be rescheduled to ensure ‘the safety of everyone involved’.
The New York Times reported on Thursday at least 81,321 people are known to have been infected with coronavirus in the US, more than anywhere in the world.
All purchased tickets for the North American leg of the Map Of The Soul tour will be honoured for the new dates, Big Hit added.
