K-pop group BOYNEXTDOOR has kicked off their inaugural world tour, 'KNOCK ON Vol. 2,' with a series of concerts at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. The tour began on April 17 and will continue through April 19. Demand for the shows was high, with all three Seoul dates selling out during the pre-sale period. Global fans unable to attend in person can watch the concerts via online live streaming on the Weverse platform. The six members expressed excitement and confidence about the new tour, promising a performance with a clear narrative arc. They aim to make a strong and memorable start to their global journey. BOYNEXTDOOR has been building a reputation as strong performers, having previously held solo tours and performed at major festivals like Lollapalooza Chicago. With recent releases including the mini-album 'The Action' and the full album 'Home,' the group is set to deliver an expanded setlist. Following the Seoul shows, the tour will continue in Busan, South Korea, before heading to six cities in Japan. The North American leg includes 10 cities, and the Asian segment covers six cities. In total, the tour is scheduled for 35 shows across 24 cities worldwide.
We are curious and excited to see how fans (one door) will receive the new tour we are presenting. We will color the very first start intensely without regret. We have prepared a performance with a clear beginning, development, climax, and conclusion, so please look forward to it.
