K-pop boy band BTS has postponed the American leg of its upcoming world tour, “Map of the Soul Tour” amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
 

The North American leg of the tour was originally scheduled to take place from April 25 to June 6, but the group decided to reschedule to a later date. 

BTS canceled the world tour's inaugural Seoul leg, previously set for mid-April, due to local outbreaks of the pandemic. Their agency, Big Hit, has said it is working to reschedule the Seoul concert.
