Armys, prepare your Army Bombs and borahae as K-pop juggernaut BTS will stage its long-awaited Singapore concert on Dec 17, 19, 20 and 22. The concert will mark the first time since 2019 that the septet – comprising Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook – will perform in Singapore as a full group. 

More details of the concert, including ticket sales, will be announced at a later date.

The announcement of BTS' Singapore concert comes about a week after the group confirmed that it would release its new album on Mar 20. According to label Big Hit Music, the album will comprise 14 tracks with preorders starting on Jan 16.

Formed in 2013, BTS has grown into a cultural phenomenon with fans in every corner of the world. According to the government-backed Korea Culture and Tourism Institute, prior to the members' military service, BTS generated more than 5.5 trillion won (US$3.8 billion) in South Korea per year – a figure that roughly translates to 0.2 per cent of the country's total GDP.

Among its hits are I Need U, Fire, Spring Day, Fake Love, Boy With Luv and Dynamite.
