OPPA Love: BTS to perform in Saudi Arabia

South Korean boy band BTS announced that they will perform in Saudi Arabia for their world tour this year.

The K-pop superstars said that their “Love Yourself: Speak Yourself” world tour will also include Riyadh, with their concert taking place on October 11 at the King Fadh International Stadium. This would mark the boy band’s debut in Saudi Arabia.

The success of Super Junior’s concert in Jeddah days ago proved that K-pop has taken the kingdom by storm, with tickets selling out fast that the ticketing website even crashed.

Details have yet to be revealed following the announcement of BTS’s concert, but the show is expected to be another success, and would send K-pop fans yet again in frenzy.

Filipinos are some of the biggest K-pop fans not just in Saudi, but also around the world.

The band has successfully penetrated not just Asia, but the Middle East and the USA. They are the first Korean group to win a Billboard music award, they were included on Time’s 100’s list of most influential people this year, and they have reached the top of the Billboard 200 chart three times.
