BTS kicked off the Love Yourself: Speak Yourself world tour at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles in May, before performing in Chicago and New Jersey in the United States, Sao Paulo in Brazil, London, Paris and Osaka and Shizuoka in Japan.
The group's latest album, Map of the Soul: Persona, released on April 12, made it to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, giving BTS the honor of being the first band since The Beatles to have three number-one albums in less than a year. The other two albums that account for this achievement are Love Yourself: Tear and Love Yourself: Answer. (iva/mut)
