K-Pop band BTS is set to ring in the New Year with their first live concert since the global coronavirus lockdown. The concert — 2021 New Year’s Eve Live — will be on December 31 just outside the South Korean capital, Seoul.
The South Korean boyband sensation had to call off their world tour this year due to the pandemic. Limited seating will be available, in line with government coronavirus safety guidelines, their management company Bit Hit Entertainment, said. The show will be streamed online.
The band played a virtual concert last month, drawing more than 990,000 viewers from 191 countries.
In September, their first full-English single 'Dynamite' topped the 'Billboard Hot 100' chart. The band, which enjoys massive fan following across cultures including India, has hits such as 'Blood Sweat And Tears'; 'Not Today'; 'Spring Day'; 'DNA' and 'Boy With Luv' to their credit.
BTS made their Grammy debut this year in collaboration with Lil Nas X for a rendition of the American rapper's 'Old Town Road'.
