Boy bands went out of style in the U.S. years ago, but they're still a
huge part of Korean pop music—and BTS might be the biggest K-pop act
of all time. A genuine international sensation, the seven young men
from South Korea have topped the Billboard charts, performed on
Saturday Night Live (the first Korean act to do so) and embarked on
world tours that have taken them to every corner of the globe. The
music of BTS doesn't stray far from the contemporary pop melting pot
of hip-hop, EDM and R&B influences, though the group's willingness to
address depression and LGBTQ rights (taboo topics in South Korea) in
their lyrics separate them from their peers. After headlining two
sold-out nights at Soldier Field in 2019, the group's Map of the Soul
Tour brings it back to Chicago's biggest stadium for two more
performances that are sure to be jam-packed with screaming fans.
Tickets go on sale via the Ticketmaster Verified Fan platform on
Thursday, February 6 at 3pm.
