Boy group BTS (RM, Jean, Sugar, Jay Hop, Ji Min, Vu, and Jung Guk) will enter the long-awaited first Japan Dome tour in five years of debut.
According to his agency Big Hit Entertainment, BTS will hold a solo concert at Tokyo Dome in Japan Tokyo on the afternoon of November 13.
The performance is the first performance of the Japan Dome Tour, which will be held as part of the global tour 'LOVE YOURSELF (Love Your Self)'.

It is the first time in five years that BTS has hosted a dome tour; the dome entry is the second since hosting its first dome concert at Osaka University Kyocera Dome in October last year. This year, starting from the 13th to 14th Tokyo Dome, 24 Days Osaka University Kyocera Dome, Nagoya Dome on January 12th and 13th next year, Fukuoka Prefecture Matisyahu Oku Dome on February 16th and 17th, will be held in four domes and meet a total of 380,000 audiences. tickets sold out in lottery after the application were sold out, and the number and size of performances that have increased significantly in a year are proving the explosive growth of BTS.
The dome tour is a tour of three or more of the five major domes (Tokyo Dome, Nigaya Dome, Osaka University Kyocera Dome, Fukuoka Prefecture Matisyahuokdom, Sapporo Dome) located in Japan. Only teams that enjoy top-notch popularity in the country are more likely to do it.
Among Korean singers, TVXQ and BIGBANG are the singers who recently opened the dome tour. TVXQ, which last year hosted its third dome tour, successfully completed a dome tour with a total of 17 performances and 780,000 spectators, and recorded the record of holding the first five dome tours overseas. BIGBANG last year performed a dome tour of 696,000 spectators in 14 cities in four cities, and recorded the record of holding the Japan Dome Tour for the first time in the history of overseas The Artist for the fifth consecutive year.
This year, following BTS, TWICE announced the first Dome Tour of Korea Girl Group. According to agency JYP Entertainment, TWICE will host three dome tours (James Stewart at Tokyo Dome, Haru at Nagoya Dome and Haru at Osaka University Kyocera Dome) next year.
In the case of BTS, all the albums released by Japan recently have been on the charts. Even if you look at the 'Gold Disk Recognition Works' released by Japan Records Association, you can easily see its solid popularity. The Japan Record Association classifies 100,000 copies of Lee Tzsche 'Gold', 250,000 copies of Lee Tzsche 'platinum', and 500,000 copies of Lee Tzsche 'Double Jeopardy platinum' based on cumulative sales volume of music every month.
According to this standard, BTS' eighth single, MIC Drop/DNA/Crystal Snow (Mike Drop/Dian/Crystal Snow), released in December last year, sold more than 500,000 copies and was the only overseas singer to have released a single in Japan in 2017, earning the Double Jeopardy platinum certification. Regular's third album, "FACE YOURSELF (Face Youself), released in April this year, earned more than 250,000 copies of its sales, earning the "platinum" certification, followed by the seventh single "blood sweat tears" and the eighth single "MIC Drop/DNA/Crystal Snow".
The sales volume of the new 9th Japan single FAKE LOVE/Airplane pt.2 (Fake Love/Airplane! Part to) is also unusual. According to the official website of the Japan Oricon chart, the single was ranked # 1 on the Oricon Daily Singles Chart for the sixth consecutive day, recording 27,11 Points on the 6th day of release.
The total number of Points was 454,755 Points, including 37,345 Points on the first day of release, 37,324 Points on the first day of release, 34,136 Points on the 8th, 17,352 Points on the 10th, 17,869 Points on the 11th, and 27,11 Points on the 12th. Since James Stewart has been on the rise continuously since the 10th, the record of the 13th, the deadline for initial sales (the first week of sale), is also drawing attention. The fourth 'platinum' has already been confirmed, and the possibility of acquiring the second 'Double Jeopardy platinum' has increased.
The new single will feature LOVE YOURSELF 'Tear' (Love Yourself's former 'Tear') and other James Stewart song 'FAKE LOVE (Fake Love)' and the song 'Airplane pt.2' (Airplane! Part to), a Japanese version of FAKE LOVE, a remix of the Japanese version, and a total of four songs, including LOVE YOURSELF Answer (Love Yourself Resolution 'Anser') and other James Stewart song 'IDOL' remix versions. Although all of them are singles composed of a new song, a remix version, but they are recording sales as much as Regular music.
