The COVID-19 pandemic had forced the group to cancel the Seoul leg of its new world concert tour series “Map of the Soul Tour” set for mid-April.

South Korea has so far recorded over 10,000 COVID-19 cases and at least 200 fatalities.

The group also pushed back the North American leg of its tour due to the global health crisis, which has infected over 1.5 million people worldwide.
