[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the ticket sale dates for the idol group BTS's European tour scheduled for this July have been postponed.

On the 17th (local time), Live Nation's UK and Spain branches, which are organizing BTS's European concerts, announced, "Due to recent events, the ticket sale schedule for BTS's 'Map of the Soul Tour - Europe' will be adjusted."

Originally, the fan club 'ARMY' pre-sale was scheduled to begin on the 18th of this month (local time), and general ticket sales were to start on the 20th of this month (local time). According to this announcement, the fan club pre-sale has been postponed to April 29th (local time), and general sales to May 1st (local time).

Live Nation added, "Please note that the schedule may change depending on the situation."

BTS is set to hold the 'Map of the Soul Tour' starting in April. In Europe, they are scheduled to perform in four cities starting with London, UK in July, followed by Rotterdam, Netherlands; Berlin, Germany; and Barcelona, Spain.

However, as COVID-19 is rapidly spreading in the European region and countries are consecutively banning mass gatherings including concerts, it has become uncertain whether the world tour will proceed as planned.
