The band's management said on Tuesday (September 28), that the concert will be taking place in LA from November 27-28 and December 1-2. "Holding an in-person concert in the midst of COVID-19 is not easy. We are able to hold the concert in the United States after taking the national and regional health regulations and circumstances into consideration," the company said in a statement posted on its online fan platform Weverse.

The band had to call off what was meant to be its biggest international tour Map Of The Soul, involving nearly 40 locations due to COVID-19. They have been performing for fans virtually instead, reportedly garnering viewers from over 191 countries and some 50 billion won ($42.4 million) in ticket sales.
