BTS and More Artists Cancel Concerts Due to Coronavirus

With the coronavirus outbreak proving to be a deadly pandemic, all across the globe, BTS had to no option but to cancel the four scheduled concerts in Seoul, South Korea, as a part of their Map of the Soul Tour. While ARMY was left gutted, no one was more heartbroken than the septet, with RM even expressing how angry he was with the situation during an emotional V Live session for their album, Map of the Soul: 7.

BTS member V cannot stop gushing about a meal he recently had. Taehyung, along with the other Bangtan Boys, has a little extra time in his hand courtesy the break from Map of the Soul: 7 promotions. The international K-Pop star took the opportunity and discovered a new restaurant in South Korea recently. The discovery has left Tae-Tae so impressed that he wants to spread the word about the good food and great service hoping fans would find their way to the food outlet. 

To say that it's been an incredible year to be BTS would be an understatement! Firstly, the release of their album, Map of the Soul: 7 broke records not just in South Korea but all across the globe as well. It peaked at #1 in the Billboard 200 chart while the title song ON reached #4 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Moreover, MOTS: 7 managed to earn the top spots in the UK, Japan and Germany charts as well!

After the massive success of BTS' latest album, Map of the Soul: 7, the septet will soon be gearing up for the Map of the Soul Tour, which will kickstart in the US and end in Japan. However, initial tour dates had four concerts in South Korea, which were recently cancelled due to coronavirus outbreak. The MOTS tour dates were April 11, 12, 18 and 19, which has now been cancelled with ARMY getting their refunds back. Even when BTS performed at music shows, it was to an empty audience.

BTS was currently on a major promotional spree for their album, Map of the Soul: 7. After their US promotions, the Bangtan Boys took over the music shows in South Korea and got a staggering eight wins for the lead single of 7, ON. Now, as they take a mini-break and start gearing up for the world tour in April, BTS has a reason to celebrate as Suga turns 27 today, i.e. March 9, 2020. The singer celebrated with his BTS brothers and the septet shared videos of the same on Twitter.

BTS has taken over South Korea by taking part in the music shows, where their title song for Map of the Soul: 7, titled ON is dominating with five impressive wins already. The septet will soon be embarking on a world tour, amidst cancelling concerts in Korea due to the Coronavirus outbreak, with the country being one of the most affected. In between Map of the Soul: 7, the members will also be focused on their solo projects with V already working on a song for a K-drama.

Oh, Tae. You even make popping a shirt button a moment to remember. BTS’ V’s wardrobe malfunction during an “ON” performance at the SBS’ Inkigayo stage on March 1 had ARMYs losing their minds when they witnessed it. And now you get to, too.

Concerns over the worldwide coronavirus pandemic have led BTS and other musicians to cancel their upcoming concerts. On Thursday in South Korea alone, 256 new cases of coronavirus were reported, bringing the total number of reported cases to over 2,000.

Map of the Soul: 7 is storming in the musical charts, not just in South Korea but on a worldwide scale as well. The album topped the charts in the US, the UK, Germany and Japan, which are the four leading music consuming nations.

With nearly 90,000 cases of coronavirus reported worldwide, the live music industry is continuing to see high-profile artists cancel shows out of safety concerns. Following announcements last week that rock legends Green Day canceled shows in Asia and global superstars BTS canceled shows in their native South Korea, several more artists have put a halt to their dates in the region.

BTS fans have donated more than $333,000 (£261,000) to help those in South Korea affected by coronavirus outbreaks.

Green Day, BTS, and Stormzy are among the big-ticket acts that have pulled out Asia dates in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
