Will KPop concerts resume in 2022?

The last time a singer in KPop visited a foreign country appears to be Lee Jieun visiting Milan for a Gucci fashion show, in Feb 2020

after that, non-Korean figures of KPop such as Miyawaki Sakura went to Japan and returned, but I am not aware of a Korean Kpop figure leaving Korea and returning, since if that is done one has to be quarantined for 14 days.

People like Billy Joel are going to resume concerts in 2022.

BTS , which had to cancel its concerts in 2020, will probably do huge concerts next year if the K-O-R-E-A-N government does not throw shit to it, but it is always the K-O-R-E-A-N opinion which spoils everything in KPop.

Others would be yearning to do big tours too.

But the K-O-R-E-A-N fans demand they should not leave Korea before they do a concert in there , which precludes the possibility of big tours because the K-O-R-E-A-N govt agencies are slow approving concert schedules.

I thought that Mr. Bang could have shipped the BTS members to USA before travel restrictions began, and keep them in USA and do tours after the worst crisis was over, and make a lot more money, Korea to be damned. Yabuki Nako did not return to Japan for 18 months and although it bothered her later she endured it when she was making dough; BTS not returning to Korea for about 2 years would not have been the end of the year.

Granted, it will be hard for the Kpop figures to go around country to country, but Twice focuses on Japan and it would be no trouble for them to stay in there for a while, et cetera.

What do you think?

Why is Korean spelled out like that? Whatever, I'll just say yes, cuz I have concert tickets already for next year and I really want it to happen

When Koreans act in a way detrimental to kpop I spell it that way

Quote from NEO

Rosé is in NYC for the MET Gala.

The first time since IU and she might not return for a while

She is not Korean (a New Zealander) and operates under a different law

Quote from HyoeulgiUltra

Unlikely. Sure they can but imagine the risk, what if that concert became a super spreader event. Labels won't risk it, is what I guess.

2023 is my earliest guess. If it's on 2022 then it won't be that big of a concert.

Few who attended this football event wore masks in this packed stadium

Only in Korea they have knee jerk reactions

Quote from amalyas

Yeah I don't like OP's tone about it. I get that we all want touring to resume, but COVID restrictions are a thing for a reason ffs. Millions people died of COVID world-wide, I think a knee-jerk reaction is warranted.

In Korea only idols are restricted, while the trottists , who deal with older population who are supposed to be more vulnerable, have no trouble having concerts. They are refraining for now, but will be the first to have concerts before the idols

Which is why I don't like what K-O-R-E-A is doing
