BTS will conduct a stadium tour in five South American cities starting this October.

On the 28th, BTS announced the detailed schedule of the "WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN LATIN AMERICA" through the fan platform Weverse. The tour will take place in a total of 11 shows in major South American cities including Bogotá, Colombia; Lima, Peru; Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and São Paulo, Brazil.
