BTS plans to hold live concerts in Los Angeles later this year, the first time the K-pop band will hold such events since the Covid-19 pandemic forced it to go online.

"Holding an in-person concert in the midst of Covid-19 is not easy, but after looking for opportunities to do so, we are able to hold the concert in the United States,” according to a statement from Big Hit Music posted on online platform Weverse.
