Just when fans thought they could not be any more amped up for BTS' fan meeting tour in Japan, more dates and cities have been announced. Reports claimed that the seven-member boy band will hold eight fan-meetings across four cities in Japan.
On Nov. 8, Tuesday, Big Hit Entertainment announced BTS will hold its "BTS JAPAN OFFICIAL FAN-MEETING VOLUME 3" tour, The Kpop Herald reported. BTS will meet their fans first at the Fukuoka Convention Center in Fukuoka, Japan on Nov. 9.
The boy band will then travel to the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo on Nov. 28 until 30 and then onto Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya on Dec. 6 to 7. They will wrap up the meet-and-greet event at the Osaka-Jo Hall in Osaka, Japan on Dec. 14 to 15.
Aside from the Japan tour, BTS will also hold a domestic fan meeting on Nov. 13 to 14. Dubbed "BTS 3RD MUSTER ARMY.ZIP+," the event will take place at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro District of Seoul, South Korea.
BTS have gained worldwide fame with the release of their second full-length studio album "Wings" on Oct. 10. It smashed on the 26th of the Billboard 200, making it the highest charting and best-selling K-pop album on the chart.
Following their Billboard success, BTS said they are surprised by the lyrics-come-true moments they are experiencing these days. In a recent interview with Yonhap News Agency, leader Rap Monster, 22, said they sang about "The Most Beautiful Moment of Life" and woke up to experience it.
Despite their popularity, BTS is still reaching for greater recognition in the global market. Whether it is through music or music video, the K-pop idols apparently want to become people's must-see-in-this-life kind of band.
Rap Monster then said that a world tour is one of the strongest ways to make such dream come true. To him, embarking on a world tour is a badge of excellence in music and stage performing. He stressed, "Some day, I want to travel all around the world and hold concerts in stadiums, just like world pop stars Coldplay, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber."
