K-pop superstar BTS will perform in five countries in Latin America in October, including Colombia and Peru, as part of its “Arirang” world tour, the group’s agency said Saturday.
The septet will stage a total of 11 performances in five major cities in Latin America, starting in Bogota, Colombia, Oct. 2 and 3, according to BigHit Music.
The group will perform in Lima, Peru, Oct. 9 and 10, followed by concerts in Santiago, Chile, Oct. 16 and 17, and in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Oct. 23 and 24. The final leg of the tour will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Oct. 28, 30 and 31.
BTS will hold its full-group concerts for the first time in Colombia, Peru and Argentina. In 2022, Jin participated in the British rock band Coldplay’s world tour concerts in Buenos Aires as a guest.
To mark the release of the group’s fifth studio album, “ARIRANG,” BTS held its first full-group concert at Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul last Saturday, after all of its members completed their military service.
The “BTS World Tour Arirang” will begin in Goyang, northwest of Seoul, April 11 and continue in major cities around the world through 2027.
