SEOUL, March 28 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- K-pop superstar BTS will perform in five countries in Latin America in October, including Colombia and Peru, as part of its “Arirang” world tour, the group's agency said on Saturday, Yonhap News Agency reported.
The septet will stage a total of 11 performances in five major cities in Latin America, starting in Bogota, Colombia, on Oct 2-3, according to BigHit Music.
