Background

On September 8, 2015, BTS released a 12 minute-long trailer titled "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life On Stage: Prologue" on Youtube followed by a poster released September 14, 2015, announcing the tour with listed dates for three shows held at the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium in South Korea.[2] An additional two dates at the Yokohama Arena and two dates at the Kobe World Memorial Hall in Japan were later added and sold out, prompting the listing of a third date at the World Memorial Hall for December 28, 2015.[3] During the tour, BTS canceled their December 27th and December 28th concerts in Kobe due to complaints of dizziness by Suga and V during rehearsals that led to medical evaluation at a local hospital.[4] The two concerts were later rescheduled for March 22nd and 23rd, 2016.
