K-Pop Concerts Return to the U.S. Post Pandemic

K-Pop tour announcements are appearing left and right now that North America is slowly reopening and allowing in-person events. The last Korean act to hold a tour in The United States was girl group Everglow. Their final stop in Los Angeles got cancelled when the country went into shut down mid March 2020. 

The first official K-Pop tour is already underway. Boy group Vanner is currently visiting five different cities during their Form & Fan Fanmeeting with three stops remaining.

Ateez and Monsta X previously scheduled tours that were postponed received new dates for the beginning of 2022. Tickets purchased prior will be honored for all non-cancelled shows and any remaining seats have been or will be reissued to the public.

Other tours include Twice, VeriVery, Eric Nam and Epik High. All tours besides Twice have already gone on sale, some show even selling out. More information regarding Twice's tour will be available in the near future as additional stops are expected but tickets go on sale December 10th.  

NCT 127 confirmed they will be going on a world tour but only shows in South Korea have been announced so far. The chances of stops in North America are high as they originally planned to pre-pandemic before being cancelled.

Fans speculate BTS going on a world tour soon as the group is performing at SoFi Stadium. All four shows of ‘BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE’ instantly sold out and many believe these concerts are only the start of many for the popular band.

There's no doubt even more concerts will be announced in the near future. The only questions are which artists, when and where.

Check out the current tour dates below!

Girl group Dreamcatcher visits Concord Music Hall in Chicago on December 8 for their Invitation from Nightmare City Tour.

Red and yellow glow sticks start appearing as the opening video plays on the big screen. The colored lights increase with SuA, Siyeon, JiU, Yoohyeon, Gahyeon and Dami walk onto the stage. "Fly High" and their debut song "Chase Me" are preformed to kick off the show. The fans (InSomnia) instantly match the vibe that the songs provided. After greeting the crowd as a whole unit, each member introduces themselves one by one. Instead of saying their own names, they got InSomnia to yell all six names.
