'Music Bank' to restart its world tour starting in August

By jennywill Monday, March 27, 2017 54,496 4,883 0

'Music Bank' will be restarting its world tour series.

The last of its world tour series ended in April 2015 in Vietnam, and the show will be bringing it back two years later. KBS said, "We're going to having a world tour first in Singapore in August, and then Indonesia in September. The Southeast Asia market is becoming more and more important. We will be focusing on the region this year."

Only the two are confirmed of now, but there may be more dates later. 'Music Bank' will not only promote K-pop during the tours, but also the '2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics'.

OK, I know that many people are bummed by the fact that the show's new world tour will only focus on Southeast Asia BUT of course there's nothing that they can do about it. And therefore, they should know that there will be a "Music Bank" world tour coming to their own neck of the woods sometime in the future. So for now, they must support this world tour right here.

Not surprising that with the Chinese governnment closing the gates to the Korean networks and music companies that they are looking to other markets in East Asia that may be more expensive and time consuming to travel to, but will help offset lost earnings from the Chinese market.

Even most kpop groups see world tour as "norith and south america, asia and australia. It's like sahara desert over here in europe...

Emma992 hoffepoffe • Tuesday, March 28, 2017

Well, at least they came to Europe a few times. A lot more then the Middle East (Dubai) which was only two-three times for special events. And then kcon last year (which was amazing, and I got to see Kyuhyun in real life)

It's so sad that kpop group doesn't go as often ot us as they go to U.S. I mean, they have at least in same country. I have to travel to another country if I'm going to see any T_T Well well, hopefully they will try to go to both of our countries more often.
