There’s some sad news coming for the much-awaited Map Of The Soul Tour which was to be undertaken by the K-pop group BTS. Well, as per the report in hollywoodreporter.com, the group has finally scrapped their upcoming Map Of The Soul Tour owing to the tough logistics that prevail with the pandemic spread.

We quote from the report in the above-mentioned story.

“Our company has worked hard to resume preparations for the BTS Map of the Soul Tour, knowing that all fans have been waiting eagerly and long for the tour,” the band’s label Big Hit Music said in a statement released Friday.

“Due to changing circumstances beyond our control, it has become difficult to resume performances at the same scale and timeline as previously planned,” it added. “Therefore we must announce the cancellation of the BTS Map of the Soul Tour.”

BTS has been trying to tour in support of their fourth album, Map of the Soul: 7, since Spring 2020, but pandemic-related delays have stretched on indefinitely. The group’s original tour plans included a series of dates beginning in Seoul in April 2020, followed by 39 shows in 18 countries spanning North America, Europe and Asia.

Also, the group has announced that the live shows will have to wait till the fall. “Once again, please allow us to offer our sincere apology to all fans who have waited for the BTS Map of the Soul Tour to resume,” Big Hit concluded. “We are working to prepare a viable schedule and performance format that can meet your expectations, and we will provide updated notices as soon as possible.”

Aww!! That’s extremely saddening!!
