BTS Postpones Full 'Map of the Soul' World Tour

BTS has announced some sad news.

The K-Pop group’s management company Big Hit Entertainment shared that the band’s Map of the Soul world tour is postponed amid the global pandemic.

It was previously announced that the April dates were either canceled or pushed back, but now the entire tour is being put on hold.

“This tour involves the participation of staff and crew from around the world as well as global logistics systems,” Big Hit said in a statement to Billboard. “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,” Big Hit continued.

“The decision to reschedule the tour was made with the health and safety of our artists and fans in foremost consideration,” they added. “With sincerity and commitment to transparency, we will inform you of any and all further changes and continue to provide updates.”

In good BTS news, it was recently announced that Suga will be collaborating with IU for a new song!
